Glitter and confetti in cards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHY?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????????????????

Who in their right mind fills a card with a lodda crap that is all going to fall out and over someones floor?

Why??????????????????????

Someone explain this to me?????????????????????

I hate it too, only had one like that this year though (thankfully)

are they being creative

Don't get me started!! DD's friends do this for Christmas/Birthdays etc - gets my goat!

I loathe glitter in or on cards. It's not pretty, it's annoying.

I've just spent the better part of 15 frigging minutes hoovering it up out of my carpet.....and I'm not the house proud type.

It is such a flaming waste of time, money and the earths resources.

Bloody stupid stuff (she says reasonably)

"It is such a flaming waste of time, money and the earths resources."

Bless you MB, it's the science teacher talking again, isn't it?

Thats, me, bleeding heart liberal and all

I just wonder what goes though peoples heads

'Here is the card for Mrs and Mrs M Bishop dear, I'm sure they would love to hoover up silver stars when they open the card! Let's put in a nice big handful!'

Why???????

sorry 'people's' heads.....before I get hit by a wave of ' shaped glitter

its when the stupid idiots stick it in cards for young babies that gets my goat

completley agree

curmudgeons of the world unite

im a culprit....sorry x

It's those b**y 'cardmakers'

agghhhh I have a friend who does this every year. It drives me mad. I have to hoover it all up straight away and stop ds2 eating it. She thinks she's being really different but you can buy it from every card shop ffs. No-one else puts it in because they are all sensible people except her.

I like glitter and stars! Makes the carpet look much nicer than usual, I find.

Someone sent me an invitation once with lots of bits in unfortunately it got delivered to the wrong house - they had to open it to find out if there was any idea of who the proper recipient/sender was thus having lots of mess on their floor - that'll teach them to open someone else mail!!

When ds gets cards from school, I make him open them in the classroom before we leave........................well, the cleaners go in every night

My next door neighbour had to take her 6 month old dd to a&e after she hoovered and missed a bit of star confetti.It got caught in the back of her dd's throat. Cue violent coughing, vomiting and enless drool.

I'd prefer a cheque personally!

partypooka - I have done the dash to A&E with ds2 after a star confetti incident - came out of a party bag (another reason to hate them)

At this time of year our carpet is covered in glitter anyway
We never get it all out until about February!

Having said that I've never been on the giving or receiving end of such an exploding card.
