That’s funny. I’m reading this book called “Love & Respect” where a similar situation happens…but he doesn’t realize it until after he gives her the card. At least you realized your mistake before you gave her the card.

From the book…

Whilst living in Germany, I was dating a German girl and could speak no German.
she had to go to the doctors and get a contraceptive device (???) inserted. She was in great pain and had to spend 24 hours in bed.
Now remember I can speak no German so I think I will toddle off and get her a get well card and some flowers. Well when I got to the card section I was out of my depth, thousands of cards!! So I thought I will grab any card and explain my lack of German.
I went to her apartment presented with the flowers and gave her the card.
MY CARD WAS A WELCOME TO YOUR NEW HOME CARD!!!

Been there, done that, never going there again. My wife loves to give and get cards so I play it safe now. After I forgot to get a birthday card for her about 25 years ago she became a bit upset. I didn't forget her birthday or to get her a present and take her out of town for the weekend, just forgot the card. I went to the local dollar store where cards are $.50. I bought about a dozen each birthday, anniversary and christmas cards. I put them in a large zip lock bag to keep them clean. I always have a supply on hand and don't have to make excuses to leave the house a 10 at night to get a card. I also keep them in my locker at work so she doesn't find them. That wouldn't go over well either. Good luck next year!

I am pretty good about remembering cards for occasions. My wife always keeps them and puts them in a drawer and goes back and reads them sometimes. Apparently I have purchased the same card for multiple birthday and anniversary. I just explain it away by telling her how great those Hallmark writers are and how perfectly they describe her.
