You can’t take three steps in a card store without seeing at least a handful of humorous birthday cards. These greeting messages come in an assortment of designs and personalities. You can be pretty sure that you will be able to find at least one for your special recipient. Humorous birthday cards can really brighten someone’s day.

Funny cards have gained popularity over the years because of the positive responses they get. Some of the humorous birthday cards are truly laugh out loud funny and I actually can’t wait for my birthday just to see what my wisecracking friends and family members choose.

The wide selection of humorous birthday cards does leave a lot of options for the buyer. You can find juvenile cards that are perfect for younger kids with great senses of humor. I make sure to find a really funny one for my oldest nephew. He looks forward to the funny message as much as he looks forward to the gift inside.

I also love to give these funny messages to my girlfriends. Many of us try to find the most humorous birthday cards for each other. Lots of cards are designed just for women so we really have a great time searching for the right cards. They are wonderful to share over a nice lunch with a small group of friends.

The downright silly cards are reserved for older male relatives who have wacky senses of humor. I have found so many goofy humorous birthday cards that I actually have a small collection for the last minute celebrations that managed to slip my mind. Keeping a stock of humorous birthday cards is always a good idea.

Some designs appeal to the laid back friends and relatives who look forward to a good joke. I love finding humorous birthday cards that seem as if they were made especially for the individuals receiving them. Themes can help you determine a way to narrow down your search with these items.

If you know someone who is usually stressed out at the office you may want to find humorous birthday cards that revolve around office humor. Maybe you know an avid gardener and you come across a great design that pokes fun at lawns. No matter what, you can probably find at least one message that is suitable for the individual.

I like to choose humorous birthday cards that are blank inside. There are tons of great, funny images available and each can be personalized with a special message. This is one of the best ways to make the birthday cards a little more thoughtful.

It didn’t occur to me that you could create your own stickers until I saw it as an event at a kids party. They actually had a machine that would create stickers. They explained it to me. It was really simple, really. The only things you need to create stickers are a printer with special sticky vinyl backed paper and a pair of scissors or some kind of cutter apparatus. Of course the machine they had to create stickers was a little more elaborate than that. It could cut the stickers in a variety of shapes. You could even create your own bumper stickers.

I asked why they had a special machine to create stickers and my friends replied that it was what they did for a living. I instantly, almost thoughtlessly, looked at their lovely house in disbelief. Jim seemed to be reading my mind. He asked me if I didn’t believe him that you could buy such a nice home with the money you made creating stickers. I gulped, embarrassed but nodded. He smiled sagely. “We don’t just create stickers,” he said, “we create smiles.

He explained to me that it was simple, if you had a catchy enough idea. You just had to copyright the phrase and print it out. You would create stickers and give them to your friends who, if the joke was funny enough, would post it on the back of their car. Other people would see the stickers and if they caught in their mind, go home and Google them. Of course you would have had to set up a website by this time, so that people could order them cheaply off the internet. Then their friends would see them, and the cycle would repeat itself.

As time went on my prosperous friend had diversified. He would now create stickers for custom orders. He could make stickers in small batches for parties or in large batches for businesses. He would even create stickers with a commissioned design, which he would do for quite reasonable prices to increase his brand’s name recognition. People love good slogans, catch phrases, and sayings and if you can create stickers with them you will have people practically eating out of your hand, coming to you and begging you for more of your clever wit and wisdom. Of course 90 percent of his business was hard work but without that extra ten percent, he never would have become the wild success which he is today.
