The world around us is constantly changing and with new changes arrive new trends. Whether it is the fashion industry or graphic designers, everyone loves to stay updated on the latest trends in the field. If you plan on sending greeting cards to your loved ones (which you definitely should) then there are some trends that you simply can’t miss in 2022
There are some things that can never be replaced by their virtual alternatives – warm hugs, good food and definitely physical greeting cards. And if you are someone who loves making people around you feel special by sending them a best wishes card or birthday cards or congratulatory cards, then you are probably well aware that greeting card trends keep changing and the designs keep getting better every year. In order to stay at the top of your greeting card game, here are a few trends that you should look forward to in 2022:
Going Sustainable
Every single year, it is becoming evident that we need to take collective action to reverse the effects of climate change and save our planet. Many people are choosing more sustainable options to reduce their carbon footprints and make their contribution towards saving the planet. So, higher demand for greeting cards made of recycled material can be expected in the year 2022. Whether you are planning on gifting someone a premade card or planning to make them a personalized card yourself, considering biodegradable material is a great option.
Think Outside the Box
Gone are the days where gifting someone a card meant giving them a simple card with a recurrent one-liner. In 2022, designers are thinking beyond binaries and conventions. Mother’s Day cards for single fathers and vice versa, congratulating someone on their breakup from a toxic person, or simply a card to remind someone of how awesome they are – are going to become the norm. Stereotypes are being challenged in every single field including this one. Designs that are bold and unconventional can be expected in 2022.
Celebrate Life
The pandemic served as a very harsh reminder that we need to celebrate every little thing in life. Marriages, jobs and graduations are wonderful events but most people came to the realization that celebrating small wins on a daily basis is important too. Telling your friend that you miss them, letting your spouse know how much you love them or simply celebrating your cat’s birthday – special moments don’t need to wait anymore. And every special moment deserves its own greeting card. So, a rise in designs that celebrate the everyday things in life can be expected.
Very Peri – Color of the Year
Pantone chose Very Peri as the color of the year 2022. As per the executive director of The Pantone Color Institute, this color encompasses the reliability of the blue color family but with its red undertones manages to exude joy and creativity. Given that we’ve entered an era of unprecedented changes, this color can add much-needed calmness to our lives. One can expect designs or even entire cards that play around with this color and make use of it.
Conclusion
Selecting a greeting card that is trendy shows that you are not only thoughtful but also up-to-date on the latest in the field. These are the top trends that one can expect when browsing for greeting cards online or offline. Keeping this list in mind will help you in selecting trendy greeting cards for your loved ones.
