History of Birthday Parties and Birthday Cards
The tradition of a birthday party started as a way to ward off evil spirits - not exactly an auspicious beginning for such a happy tradition! Likely starting in the Middle Ages, people believed you were at your weakest on the day you were born. To protect against evil spirits taking over their body, they would surround themselves with friends and family whose love would protect them from harm. This evolved into a party, where people would bring small gifts or flowers to the birthday host or hostess. If they could not make it to the party, they would often send a birthday card, with their regrets. Thus, the custom of sending birthday cards was born.
