The history of greeting cards began with the Chinese, the Egyptians and in the 1400s, the Germans sent wishes of good will at the start of the new year. Around that time, the Europeans exchanged hand-made greetings, especially around Valentine's Day. The postage stamp in the 1840s made sending greeting cards possible for most, if not all. This article explains how to make a greeting card online.
