With Halloween just over a week away, Fall is in full effect! The colors of Autumn are apparent at every turn and the stores are filling with holiday decorations. Have you sent out your Thanksgiving invitations yet?

Before you know it, the house will be filled with the smells of Thanksgiving dinner and the house will be filled with smiling and laughing friends and family members. The food will get eaten, the dishes will get done, and all of the sudden, it will be Christmas!

But, before we get ahead of ourselves, lets take a moment to remember what the most important part of the holidays are. Simply stated, its about appreciating those who you care about in your life. Thanksgiving is a great opportunity to get everyone together in appreciation, and sending thanksgiving cards gives you the opportunity to send a heartfelt message and invite those you care about to join you in the celebration!

Still Time For Halloween Cards!

Mindy on October 12, 2010

I remember how much I enjoyed Halloween, when I was growing up! From decorating the house and yard, to carving pumpkins…. Scary masks and pillow cases full of candy! As a kid, having a night where you could stay up late and everyone gave you candy is truly an amazing annual event!

It is easy for us to forget how much this fun holiday means to those around us. Maybe we are not the ones walking mile after mile on Halloween night, anymore. Maybe we don’t look forward to the holiday for weeks or even months on end, anymore, either.

But know that the children in your life are getting more and more excited, every day, as Halloween 2010 approaches. This year, it is easier than ever to send out Halloween Cards! You can have them delivered to your home to give out at this year’s Halloween party, or you can send them directly to your recipients as invitations. Maybe you simply want to wish a safe and happy Halloween to a young friend or family member. Whatever the Halloween card occasion, GCU is happy to connect you with thousands of artists from around the world who have created the most unique collection of Happy Halloween Cards available, today!

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Mindy on October 6, 2010

Founded by AstraZenica in 1985, the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is designed to promote awarness, early detection, and to raise funds for companies working towards preventions and cures. The Race For The Cure is a race that started in Dallas Texas with 800 participants in 1983 and has since been duplicated in countries around the world, like Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, the UK, Canada and more with combined annual participant numbers over 1 million!!

We here at GCU are proud to offer a wide selection of breast cancer awareness cards and other types of breast cancer greeting cards. We understand that breast cancer affects the lives of millions of people whether directly or indirectly. Sometimes there is a feeling of helplessness or sorrow for the friends and family members of those affected by breast cancer. We know that the simple act of sending a card to encourage a quick recovery or to inspire someone who is battling breast cancer can help your friends and family members stay positive!

So whether you are inviting people to join you in walking for the cure, celebrating the life of a cancer survivor or encouraging someone to remember to have regular mammograms, you are at the right place! With almost 4000 artists and 400,000 greeting cards to chose from, we are here to help you send messages of hope, inspiration and celebration to those you love!

Tis’ the season for Thank You Cards!

Mindy on August 20, 2010

As summer begins to wind down towards fall, it is fun to sit back and think of all the great times that I’ve been able to spend with my friends and family members! I love sharing the pictures I take with friends and family by sending them Custom Photo Cards and Thank You Cards.

From weddings to birthdays, family gatherings to family reunions, summer time is jam packed with fun events. Whether we get to spend a week or a weekend with our friends and loved ones, you have the ability to send them a thank you card that they’ll cherish for ever! When they receive your cards, it will light up their day and you’ll love the feeling you get from sharing such wonderful pictures and wishes!

Greeting cards are the best way to express your appreciation and gratitude and when you get in the habit of expressing your gratitude… Magically you attract more things to be grateful for!

As fall approaches and the holidays get closer, take some time to reflect on the wonderful times you’ve been able to experience this year! Before too long, winter will be here and we’ll all be spreading holiday cheer!!!!

Labor Day 2010

Mindy on August 1, 2010

We live in a day and age where many of us are very busy… 40, 60, 80 hour weeks to be sure the necessities for life are covered. This hard-work ethic runs deep through the core of our society! From the South, to the North East… The Great Lakes and Mid West…. To the SouthWest and the West, Americans are working hard, every day and that work ethic deserves to be celebrated! This Labor Day is your opportunity to celebrate those you love and care about, for the hard work they do!

According to the Department of Labor, Labor day is “A yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.” I’m all about national tributes, and I appreciate the day off for the holiday 🙂 but I also am about personal tributes. It is important for you to let those in your life who work really, really hard…. That you appreciate their efforts.

It is through this act of gratitude that renewed motivation and inspiration can help those you care about most feel loved and appreciated. Two of the greatest feelings in life that every human needs. Here’s the best part! Labor Day Cards are more convenient than ever to send and are on sale! Free Shipping when you order 10 cards or more – use code AUGSHIP10 at checkout – offer ends August 10th (U.S. only).

So, write down the code… AUGSHIP10… Click on a card below to access our Labor Day card catalog, pick the card you want, customize it, enter the promotion code and tell us where to mail the card! We’ll have it in the mail, tomorrow!!!
