Open an Unforgettable Birthday With New Wishes Uncorked™ Cards From American Greetings

Cleveland (Sept. 5, 2017) – Is a card really a card if it doesn’t look like one? Of course, the answer is “Yes!” – and that clarification will be helpful for those lucky enough to experience the latest new-to-the-world birthday card invention in the American Greetings card aisle. Sending a message in a bottle may not sound like cutting-edge innovation, but don’t be fooled by the see-through, corked “bottles” of fun because they are actually the marvelously unique Wishes Uncorked™ collection of birthday cards!

Uncork the joy of lights, sound and scenic views! Featuring upbeat music and a warm glow of delicate lights, Wishes Uncorked captures whimsical illustrated moments layered with paper for a charming handmade look in displayable bottles. Shoppers will find the perfect card to charm any recipient, as the special message in a bottle is uncorked with delight. Designs in this imaginative collection include a fabulous fiesta, a blooming garden of wishes, an inviting beach and a lively city skyline.

“The Wishes Uncorked collection gives a whole new meaning to sending a message in a bottle,” said Carol Miller, vice president of corporate innovation at American Greetings. “There is undoubtedly a fun anticipation when opening a birthday card or a message in a bottle, so merging the two – and adding music and lights – is certainly an unforgettable way to send exceptional birthday wishes.”
