When you’re writing a birthday card, start off with a warm and affectionate greeting, addressing the person by their name or a nickname that you usually use. This sets a personal and friendly tone for the rest of the message. Follow the greeting with your birthday wishes. Express your genuine happiness on their special day, and don’t shy away from using exclamation points to show your enthusiasm! The heart of your birthday card message should be a personal note. This could be a heartfelt expression of your feelings, a fond memory that the two of you share, or even a light-hearted joke. The goal here is to make the recipient feel special and appreciated. Compliments also work well in this part of the message, as they can make the birthday person feel good about themselves. Finally, close off your message on a warm and positive note. This could be a simple “Best wishes,” or something more personal. The key is to make sure it matches the tone of the rest of your message. For example: “Dear [Recipient’s Name], Happy Birthday! I hope your day is filled with as much happiness as you’ve brought to my life. I still remember that time when we [insert a memorable moment here] and I’m grateful for all the wonderful moments we’ve shared. You’re one of the kindest and most loving people I know. Best Wishes, [Your Name].“
