In search of traditional Eid card

The practice of sending greeting cards to loved ones dates back almost 180 years. It gained popularity during the reign of Queen Victoria. Initially, greeting cards were mostly used to celebrate occasions like New Year’s, Christmas, or birthdays. But over time, this tradition expanded across the world, and cards began to be exchanged for Eid as well. While this custom is still common in many Western cultures, in Bangladesh and several regions in Asia, the exchange of Eid cards has gradually declined.
