When is a good time to give a congratulations card?

When someone special in your life achieves a big accomplishment or hits a major milestone, congratulations are in order. A congratulations card is the perfect item to accompany a gift—or to give on its own—to share in the joy of a momentous occasion. Here are some popular occasions to give a congratulations card to someone special: Wedding: Few occasions are a greater cause for celebration than a wedding. When a lovely couple is tying the knot, a heartfelt wedding congratulations card is the ideal topper for a wonderful wedding gift. Graduation: Finishing high school or college is an occasion fit for good wishes and applause. Whether it's tied to a gift or holding some bills, a graduation congratulations card is the perfect praise to go along with your present. New baby: A new life coming into the world is a call for jubilation. Give the new parents a new baby congratulations card along with a gift to fully express your delight for the joyous occasion. Birthday: Whether it's for a sweet 16, a quinceanera, a bar mitzvah, or a bat mitzvah, a congratulations card for major birthday milestones is a memorable accompaniment to the gift you give.

What types of congratulations cards are popular?

There are countless ways to send your thoughts and best wishes to the person you're congratulating. Your relationship with the recipient certainly plays a role in the congratulations greeting card you choose. Depending on your connection to the person, here are some popular types of congratulations cards you’ll find from the remarkable shops on Etsy to help express your joy: Sentimental congratulations card : A special milestone for a special person often calls for a sincere approach. They'll look back fondly on a heartfelt expression of congratulations. Funny congratulations card : You can't go wrong with an irreverent quote or a silly joke to congratulate a friend or family member for a job well done. Custom congratulations card : When you want to express your delight for a milestone or achievement in your own style, there's no better way to share your joy and kudos than with a personalized congratulations card from designers on Etsy.
