About Us

Any Horrible Occasion is a company with a mission. For a while I have only had a 'Missin' Statement because I couldn't remember where I put it but then I found it again, so here is our prodigal Mission Statement:

At AHO we are committed to giving our customers the best laugh they can have for $2.95 a pop. It has been said that tragedy plus time equals humor. We want to shorten the duration of the tragedy and get right to the humor.

OK – OK I hate mission statements! Though the above is true, if I were entirely honest our deep, dark mission statement would be "to sell as many freakin' cards as fast as possible". Whew – I'm glad to get that off my chest.

Our card giving philosophy:

We don't want to make people cry. That is not good for public relations. So pick your victims carefully and make sure they have a sense of humor and are not from Idaho (although we have met a few renegade Idahoans who know how to laugh, so maybe they aren't all comically challenged).

Whose Who…or is it…Who's Hoo

Diane, the 'Creative Genius' has been in the card business for 13 years, but selling religiously themed products. This is a real departure!

Andrea, Diane's daughter, got to pick her title. 'Supreme Chancellor' popped out of her mouth without a moment of hesitation. We are working together on her megalomania (she can only wear a crown when we are indoors). Drea manages the office and manages her mother, thank you very much.

The rest of the family is scared to spend too much time with us because we think we are hysterically funny and spend a great deal of our time wishing we were the stars of a reality TV comedy show.
