Birthdays are a big deal, and they deserve to be celebrated. After all, birthdays only come around once a year. They’re a great chance to celebrate your loved ones and let them know just how much they mean to you. A birthday card provides the perfect opportunity to let your loved ones know just how you feel.

How to Write a Birthday Card

It’s easy enough to write “Happy birthday” and move on with your day. It’s harder to express just how you feel about a friend or loved one and how thankful you are for everything they bring to your life. Don’t feel pressured to write a novel. The key is to share a few highlights of the things you love about her and end with a sentiment about her birthday. Having trouble coming up with ideas? Think back to a story about her and share why it makes her so great. If you’re still unsure, turn to the ideas below for exactly what to write.
