Birthday Humor

What do you look for in a humorous birthday card?
Perhaps it's the "nudge nudge, wink wink" type of humor, or maybe  the slightly insulting but we think it's funny joke!
Me, I prefer gentle humor in a birthday greeting card, such as this one...

I don't like to be very rude to the recipient,and I generally know who I can poke fun at, but most people like a good laugh and receiving a funny birthday card is very popular.
I think it's particularly true when it's a fiftieth birthday card or a sixtieth card, always a milestone & a time for hilarity with some people.
Of course, it can be a more unusual birthday card, take for instance this birthday card for male twins. It's a card that's perfect for one male twin to send to the other, not rude or vulgar, but amusing just the same...

I love to receive humorous greetings cards & I'm sure you do too!

Birthday cards for twins

This is a difficult one isn't it. Do you send one card to each twin, one card for them both, and if you send them each a card (which I would personally advocate) then do you send a different birthday card to each one or the same birthday card each?
Phew! Who knew it could get so complicated.
My own view on sending birthday cards to twins, is that they should each be treated as individuals. Yes, they probably have masses of things in common, but how would you like to have to share everything all of your life just because you have a twin?
Of course, they might really appreciate being sent the same birthday card, and that's not a problem. It just shows that you know they share the same tastes.
No matter how close twins are, I truly believe they appreciate being treated as their own person, so go ahead & get two cards!
BUT....
What if you are a twin, what do you send to your twin on his birthday?
Well how about something like this?

Birthday cards have changed so much.

Birthday cards, when I was small, always seemed to be printed on brownish card, quite thick and had loads of frilly edges and flowers. I don't remember many birthday cards for men, but I'm willing to bet that they featured lots of men hunting or fishing and were made from the same thick, brown card. These days there is much more choice and thank goodness for that. My old Aunt just loves a birthday card with flowers, a sentimental verse and a pretty envelope. My best friend though, is big into humor. Any kind as long as it makes her laugh out loud and is not aimed directly at her! Kids these days, love gadgets, cars, robots, Toy Story type characters, monsters and dinosaurs, and any birthday greeting card that features any one of these things will be a sure fire hit.

Men? Well, they are on a different planet greeting card wise aren't they. My other half wouldn't know what to choose for a family member, hence, like me I'm sure it's mainly the women that buy the birthday cards. Me? Well, I like almost anything that is original, perhaps a nice watercolor or cartoon card, and humor as long as it's not too dirty. If it's your birthday this week, hope it's a good one and enjoy your birthday cards!
