Greeting Cards · Arriving 2–6 Weeks After the Occasion
Sorry We're Missed.
"We were there. You just weren't ready."
The Cards
Birthday (Belated)
For the birthday that passed without acknowledgment. Arrives 2 to 6 weeks after. The message: 'Your birthday happened. We know that now. We're sorry we weren't there in time. We're glad you were born.'
Missed Opportunity
For the opportunity that closed before anyone said anything about it. Arrives after the window has passed. Sometimes this is the first acknowledgment that the window existed.
Missed Connection
For the moment of potential connection that wasn't taken. Two people in the same place at the same time who didn't speak. Sent to the one who noticed.
Belated Congratulations
For achievements that were acknowledged internally but not externally at the time. The promotion, the publication, the quiet victory. Arrives late enough to feel like it was always coming.
Late Sympathy
For grief that was witnessed but not acknowledged when it was fresh. Sometimes sympathy arrives after the acute phase, when the person is expected to be 'better.' It still matters.
The General Missed
For the undifferentiated sense that something was missed — a period, a season, a version of a relationship — without being able to name exactly what. Our most popular card.
