But How Did Our Gift Shop Come To Be?

You never forget your wedding. It’s called “the most special day of your life” for a reason. Aside from you and your spouse’s vows, and the dancing and speeches and cake, you’ll also want to remember all of the people who helped you celebrate the ushering in of this new era of love in your life. That’s why people send wedding cards.
Wedding cards are not only a way to wish the new couple a happy life, however. Many older couples as well as friends and family of the couple often take this opportunity to write down their own advice and stories from their marriages and relationship (or even sometimes about how to keep one half of the couple happiest!). Reading through all of these letters and cards is perhaps one of the most special parts of the entire wedding process.

There are a million ways to say I love you— and million kinds of cards at CardSmart to match. Anniversaries don’t have to be about weddings; many people celebrate a variety of anniversaries with not only their spouse or partner, but with friends and family as well. The time you all first met. Your first vacation together. First dates, first holiday getaways, and so on. When you’re giving an anniversary card, what matters is the love expressed inside.
At CardSmart, we help you express this love with long lengths of beautiful poetry, or by leaving room for you to write your own words. Our anniversary section is teeming with heartfelt, gorgeous cards that are sure to impress your significant other.

When tragedy strikes, what do you say? When you’re having trouble gathering the words, sometimes a simple, kind card can help you find them. At CardSmart, we carry a large selection of somber sympathy cards, designed to let your loved ones know they are not alone throughout their grieving, and to help celebrate and cherish the life that is now beyond our reach.
When searching for the right sympathy card, it is perhaps important now more than ever, to make sure it sets the appropriate mood. That’s why we select the sympathy cards we carry with extra care, taking the time to read through the comforting words that will end up in the hands of one experiencing great hardship. Through this small act, you can make your loved one’s difficult journey ahead a bit easier.

Celebrate new life with our selection of baby cards! Baby cards are often sought out for a number of different occasions, however. This includes baby showers (wishing the mother to be a healthy pregnancy), gender reveals (sending your love no matter the baby’s gender), post-birth (showering the new parents with affection in the hospital, without overwhelming them with too many people at their bedside), or for a variety of firsts (such as baby’s first Fall, first Easter, first Halloween, and eventually, first birthday!). Be there for every one of these occasions with one of our adorable baby cards from CardSmart!
Many traditional baby cards come in lovely pastel blues and pinks, or greens and yellows for something gender neutral. Accompanied by delicate details and sweet passages, a card is a great way to express your love and excitement for this new bundle of joy!

First high school, then college, (and maybe even more college after that). Many students put in years and years of hard work and scholarship to build the knowledge and skills they need to succeed. Such a landmark achievement deserves to be celebrated excessively. That’s why many graduates send out announcements for their graduation to relatives and family friends near and far— so that even if they aren’t able to make it to the graduation, they are still able to bring awareness to their accomplishment.
Return the celebration with the perfect graduation card! Each year we are excited to see the new designs for this year’s brand-new class of graduates, and meet with customers ready to gush about their student’s accomplishments. Graduation cards are also a great place to include your own sage advice about the next step in their educational journey. This may be a reflection on what they’ve already accomplished, or well wishes for their freshman year of college, or to wish them luck landing their first job. Send them your best with a graduation card from CardSmart!
