Hi all,
I noticed that in Turkey nobody sends cards for any occasions like birthdays and weddings and other occasions. I could not find a shop in Istanbul which sold greeting cards, I asked my girlfriend and she said yes they do not give cards for these occasions, I always like cards on my birthday does anyone else send cards from their country to Turkey

Yes....

My my fiance lives in Turkey... and I will be joining him in a few months....

However, I always send him cards.... and he absolutely loves it. The reaction he has to receiving them is great... its a huge thing for him because it's never done in Turkey.

So... you carry on.... they love it.

In fact, that was very common in Turkey until the technology interfered in our lives forever. Nowadays, everyone is sending sms to each other in special days.

Ohhh I agree with you....

SMS and email..... so much easier than posting a card which will probably get lost in post.

Its a shame

There nothing nicer than receiving a card.

My fiance's reaction is so worth it.

Merhaba to All!

I am new to this forum and have read your messages. I am on a 5th month relationship with my Turkish guy Every month we send each other stuffs like books, shirts from my country(Philippines)and from Turkey & other stuffs.

I sent my BF an e-card once in awhile and he was very happy about it. I was surprised to learn that in Turkey they don't send cards on occasion.

Hhmmm, what IZMIR060406 mentioned gave me an idea to send my BF a mailed greeting card through snail mail for a change.

Thanks IZMIR060406 for sharing.
