The Birthday Card Exchange is an idea the MRussell and I came up with.

What is it? You send a Birthday Card to the Birthday Girl!

Everyone that wants to participate, PMs either MRussell or myself with their Name, Address, and Birthday (Age, if you want). We will get a list together of all who want to participate and we will PM you the list.

When a Birthday is coming up, you would send that girl a Birthday Card. The cards could be homemade, a simple note, a postcard or an Ecard. We thought it would fun and easy to thing to do. Its kind of like the CCE on SOS, but this way you are only responsible for one card at a time. If you signed up then you are responsible for sending each participant a card. If for whatever reason, you can't follow through with sending a card, Please PM either MRussell or myself with your reason.

Starting Date~ Feb. 1st 2007
Ending Date~ Feb. 1st 2008

We decided to make it a year, so that girls with Birthdays that already past will have a chance to participate :)

We will no longer be accepting anyone that wishes to sign up. The list is now final.


If you wish to send an Ecard to the Birthday Girl, then you can personally ask her for her email address. That way its easier, and a list wont have to be made for everyone.

If you have any questions just ask! :mrgreen

OK! So, each person send the b-day girl a card so they get like 10+ cards right? Not just 1 card going round and round right?
I don't think well with a headache :P

say your birthday is coming up, each participant buys a card for you and sends it to you. say there are ten participants, then you should get 10 cards on your birthday. one from each person. :)

I'd love to participate but I don't know where I'll be living. Is it okay if I send you my current address (that I'll be at through tomorrow) and then when I know my new one send it to you then? I should know way before July. Probably in February or March. I'm moving to college and then to an apartment with my mom this summer (hasn't been acquired yet; will be my main residence) :)

I'll just go ahead and do that...

Cori
01-28-2007, 11:14 PM

You will just be sending cards till July when it's your turn. So you will be good to go!! :D

Ok cool. Do we know how many have signed up for it? I just want to make sure it is something I can do before I commit myself to it. Like if there is 50 people I may have to pass, but if there is a smaller list I may be able to participate.

I think 10-15 have signed up is my guess...I'm not sure! It's pretty small though still!

UPDATE

You may also send Ecards!!!

if you wish to send an Ecard to the Birthday girl, then just ask for her Email address. I figured it would be easier to personally ask for an email address, instead of getting a list made.

So now you can send a Birthday Card or Birthday Note or Birthday Postcard by snail mail, OR an E-card. Its your choice!
