What to Write in a Birthday Card
Everyone loves to receive a card, but what should you write? Writing a birthday card can be particularly hard, because you want to find the right words for such an important milestone. To help inspire you, here are our top tips.
Think about the recipient
Before you begin to write anything, take the time to think about the person who will receive the card. Focusing on them will help you to create a unique message especially for them. You might think about happy or funny memories you shared together, which can inspire the message. Or you can add in their interests to really make them smile.
Choose a tone
What tone will you use for the birthday card? Again, thinking about the person can help you pick. A very close friend might appreciate a funny and lighthearted message, perhaps even with an in-joke that you both share. For your parents or grandparents, you might choose a sincere and heartfelt message to show your love. Your partner might appreciate a cute and romantic message.
And if someone has been having a difficult time recently, you can use a kind and supportive tone to show you're always there for them. There are no rules on how to style the message, but if you think about what kind of message they would like to receive, it can help you make the best possible card.
Pick the perfect birthday card
They say a picture paints a thousand words! You can choose the perfect birthday card to really make the message inside shine. Again, consider the person's interests when looking for a card. You can find something in their favourite colour or that features a beloved animal, flower, or hobby. Try to find a design that matches the tone of your message to make an unforgettable card they will love.
