A Brief History of World Card Making Day:

victorian calling card

Example of Victorian calling card

From a thoughtful gift to a necessary part of proper etiquette, cards have played an important role in social circles for hundreds of years. For example, the calling card of the Victorian era (also known as the visiting card) was a small piece of paper bearing the name of the visitor. This was often decorated in some way to make it unique to that person. The card was given to the servant of a household to deliver to the master of the house, thereby announcing the arrival of the visitor.  

Likewise, during this era, the concept of a ladies dance card was developed. This card was filled with the names of the men they intended to dance with that evening.  And if the lady was particularly popular, a full dance card would indicate that she wasn’t available to dance with further suitors.
