From a mans point of view, no. It's a money making racket. From a woman's point of view it is a necessity

Well, in our immediate family we still get together for our birthdays, so yes, giving a card is important. It's what we've always done, since we could. We don't all have our own families or anything yet, and we haven't all moved to different parts of the country or anything. So yes, even if we can't be there for the occasion, we usually drop by later with our card and gift.
It's only important if it's something that has always been done. A family who has never done it wouldn't consider it important. Every family is different and does things their own way. If you forget, that's what belated birthday cards are for!

The giving of birthday cards show people that you are infact thinking of them...Gifts are not so important however if you forget someones birthday and remember without being told by them send a sorry card and write a message explaining that you know your forgot it and your sorry!! It's the thought that counts

Most of my family live in other countries, they appreciate a birthday call more than cards and gifts while my ex's family see the value of the gift as an expression of how much a person loves you so they endup not speaking to family members for years over something so silly.
Basicly it depends on your family culture. Ask someone in your family.

If you forget, send a belated card or give them a call. As far as importance goes, it all depends on how close you are to your family and whether or not they will appreciate you thinking about them.

Oh yes ,if you are still in touch with your family members it is definitely important to send birthday cards. you might start a cold war with your family if you do not.

Depends on the family member. I personally don't care if I receive a card from my family members. My mother-in-law on the other hand gets offended by a lack of a card.

I think so . Little things mean a lot. It is the thought that counts. Some people can't afford a gift but a card will mean that you didn't forget. It is a very important event. God Bless.

women take it seriously but most guys go along with it !! its a money spinner for the manufacturers just look how many reason are brought about so as to entice you buy a card of some sort Most families will pick up the phone and wish happy whatever it is and that will suffice There comes a time in life when your really pushing it as i am i dont wish anyone to remind me thats another year gone by because i think its another less so for me shut the door as you go out
