Considering the fact that Valentine's Day is around the corner, an article on MSNBC brings up the question of whether or not it is okay to send a Valentine's Day e-card to your significant other. Personally, I think that I would appreciate a paper one, and this article seems to agree with me. I also agree with the article when they say that it is okay to send a Valentine's Day e-card to other friends and family. I know what I want in a Valentine, but I am interested in how others feel about Valentine's Day cards versus e-cards? It is less of a romantic gesture if he or she emails or post a Valentine's Day card on a social networking site??
I would have to agree with you Monica. As a girl I would want a paper card instead of email. A email card ruins the tradition of Valentine's day. There is a big history behind Valentine's day and I think it should be kept a tradition of telling your loved one how much you love them by giving them a card instead of just an email. Just like St. Valentine himself sent his first "greeting" to his loved one from prison. A email V-day card is not romantic, a card on the other hand is something that can be saved, handwritten is more meaningful than a e-card.
ReplyDeleteI'm all for technology and innovative expressions, but there are some things that are better off old-fashioned. This is one of them. It does take away originality and the sincerity behind it. I would also appreciate a hand made or even bought, tangent Valentines Day card.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way, I love technology but like Nancy said, some things are simply better off old-fashioned.
