Two cousins, an aunt, six friends and both of my sisters have July birthdays. In fact, seven of those birthdays are within eight days. Birthday month includes eleven reasons to celebrate which means more than one third of the month is filled with a celebration of cards and cupcakes.

Twelve has always been my favorite number and this July lucky #12 will be added to the list. My first nephew is due in just a few weeks! He will add the best reason to celebrate 38% of July and the most amazing reason to add one more birthday card to my birthday month shopping list.

American Greetings knows all about birthday month. They have taken over the seasonal section at Walmart just for people like me.

I’m the type of person that would much rather receive a birthday card than a gift therefore I give what I love. And in July I give A LOT of what I love by sharing birthday cards with silly messages, sweet sentiments and everything in between.

There are two more simple ways I prepare for birthday celebrations. Cupcake Toppers and Tissue Pom Pom Puffs. Both are festive and they are both versatile enough to add to any birthday party theme.

I found two aisles of American Greetings Birthday Cards, Stickers, Tissue, Gift Wrap and Gift Bags at Walmart in the stationery section at the front of the store. Look for the Stationery sign hanging from the ceiling at your local Walmart to celebrate amazing birthdays with American Greetings.
