Writing for Greeting Cards – How to Write a Great Birthday Card
If you’re anything like me, you’ll be terrified of the inside of a birthday card. Know what you want to say to the recipient but just can’t start writing and put those feelings and thoughts into words and commit to the paper. This article will give you some great ideas for birthday greeting cards.
Many cards on the market have extensive verses on the front and inside. You can spend hours reading through them trying to find the right verse for the person you want to send the card to. Then you find the perfect envelope and it’s all wrinkled and dirty or you can’t find the right size envelope in the card holder! Perhaps you design and make your own cards and therefore have the entire verse or message to write yourself. Phoenix Trading cards are blank on the inside so you just need to choose the design you want, for example a fire truck, flower basket, cats, dogs, robots, butterflies, fairies and many more. Some designs have specific messages on the front such as “Happy Anniversary” or “Congratulations on your engagement.”
So, you are faced with the inside of a birthday card: what do you write? First you need to think about who the card is for. Is it for a close friend, wife, husband, colleague at work, or is it for your daughter or some distant cousin you’ve never met?
Here are some examples to get you started:
I hope all your birthday wishes come true!
May all your dreams come true, have a wonderful day!
A birthday is just the first day of another 365-day journey around the sun. Enjoy the trip.
I hope that for each candle on your cake you get a wonderful surprise.
You have turned 1 today. We pray and wish that you have a life full of joy, happiness, success, prosperity and love from friends, loved ones and close ones. God bless you, dear girl. Happy Birthday!
On your 50th birthday, promise me that you will have the courage to live one more dream, fulfill one more wish, and beautify the life of one more person. May you have a magnificent life ahead. Happy 50th birthday.
I may not always say the right words, but I know what I feel: I love you.
These are just a few suggestions. If you search the Internet, you’ll find more, and your local library will probably have a citation book that you can use or edit to your liking.
