Christmas, Halloween, Mardi Gras, New Years & Other Holiday Party Invitations Cards The history of greeting cards has come a long way from simple words of congratulations written in stone and word of mouth on the streets. The Chinese have used them to convey goodwill and messages of prosperity to friends and family on holidays and other special occasions. The Egyptians were also known to have done the same using papyrus. During the 1400s, greeting cards, written stylishly in paper, were already circulating around Europe. It was not until the 1850s that the holiday greeting card was freely and affordably used as a means of expression among people for holidays.

Nowadays, cards are used not only for best wishes greetings during the holidays but also for more personalized purposes such as invitations, announcements and expressions of gratitude.
