Do you give your BIL or SIL a birthday card?
If married do you give your siblings a birthday card just from you or do you sign it from you and your spouse? |

| No cards for siblings or inlaws. Happy birthday text or call if I happen to think of it. |

Of course. Card, gift, flowers, cake, a little party.
DH and I each sign all cards. |

| No. I call my siblings. Husband texts his. That’s about it. No cards or anything. |

Would you be offended if bil or SIL didn't get you a birthday card?
Would you be offended if your sibling never gave you a card or message just from them after marriage? Would you be offended if you got a birthday card from just your sibling that wasn't signed by bil or SIL? |

I text and call my siblings. Husband text or calls his.
Not offended at all if in laws don’t text or send me a card. |

No cards other than obligatory holiday ones (which I would stop in a heartbeat but spouse says we have to keep going). Cannot stand that a-they are expensive b-killing trees/bad for the environment c-short lived (open, look at, toss/hopefully recycle).
Much prefer homemade cards - kid draws something, writes something, gives a coupon for future hugs, or just call.... |

| Well now is the time to start - its nice to get cards and we all have time to write them. My BIL has a birthday next week - everyone in my family is writing their own card - we have time! |

Omg I’m always amazed at the things some people manage to be offended about.
No, no card. Maybe a text. That’s it. You’re an adult, not a 10 year old. |

| I don't care about my own birthday let alone someone else's. We are all adults here and no one wants to waste time sending a card. Siblings all get a text and a write on FB wall. That's it. We don't do Christmas gifts either. We all make good enough money and don't need anything. |
