Not as easy as blowing out the candles, but penning Happy Birthday wishes might be easier than you think. Print it, text it, email it, or send it by carrier pigeon, but if you remember a few guidelines, your greeting will be great!
- Happy Birthday wishes should express an actual wish. A birthday card worth sending will include âme to youâ words directed to the Birthday Person. Now feel free to add that quote or quote that pun!
- A birthday message doesnât have to be uber personal or high in word count. The people who populate your day range from the barely known to the closely connected, and itâs okay, even appropriate, for your birthday wishes to reflect the level of your relationship. Impact happens because you invested the time and effort to celebrate them with a card.
- Professionally-written wishes are widely available for your birthday invitation card, and thereâs no shame in letting the pros do the writing while you do the choosing. But, really? You can do this. Here are some examples itâs likely you can equal. Or, okay, just use them. That, too.
