2. *
People use cards to express feelings, keep in touch or invite
friends and family to special occasions. Whether sent by mail or
electronically (e-cards), a card sends a simple, meaningful message to
people we care about. There are multiple types of invitation cards,
depending on the occasion (birthday, wedding, anniversary,
celebration or holiday). Whether you buy it or make it yourself, the
card will generally be appreciated by the receivers.
3. DEFINITION
The invitation card is a written paper or electronic image that
is sent to people for different occasions. The message informs a
receiver about an event to which he is invited. Invitation cards can be
customized (different sizes, colors, themes, materials, fonts and
folding designs) and made out of multiple materials (paper, tissue,
textile, plastic).
HISTORY
For centuries, people used to communicate with others by
written letters, before the telephone and other communication
technologies were invented. The letters were sent for multiple
reasons, just as they are today. The invitation letters sent were
written by hand before printing was invented. A written invitation
letter was a sign of affluence and education. They were folded in a
paper sealed with wax to ensure privacy and to prevent it from getting
dirty. After printing was invented, invitation letters became more
sophisticated (different colors, papers, cuts and foldings).
