Quick answer: St patricks day cards work on one rule: the scene honors the occasion and the message does the rest. Order early - the dates move with the calendar and the mail never speeds up.
Some occasions get forty card designs at the supermarket; st patricks day cards get none. That gap is your opportunity: a scene that opens into the occasion itself reads as thoughtfulness money usually can't buy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do the Irish actually send St. Patrick's Day cards?
In Ireland, not much - it's largely a diaspora holiday. Which is exactly the market: Irish-American and Irish-Australian families keep the card tradition alive, and a pop up Shamrock beats a plastic hat.
How fast can I get one?
We dispatch in 1-3 business days. Standard US shipping is $8 (free over $70), express is $15, and international rates calculate at checkout.
Do the cards stand up on their own?
Yes. Each design opens into a self-standing scene, which is exactly why recipients display them instead of filing them in a drawer.
The occasion deserves better than a rack card.
