You Can Make Birthday Cards Online In Minutes
Birthday greetings are most likely to be the most common greeting card you’ll send. Everyone deserves to feel special on their big day, and a loving birthday card shows you’re thinking of them no matter where you are. Instead of sending a shop bought birthday card, create a card that’s memorable and focuses on the recipient. Some ideas for the Happy Birthday card designs you can make, include photos of you and the recipient, photos of them when they were younger (if you have them), or even photos of their favourite pets for a fun card that you can say is straight from Bonzo or Fluffy themselves!
Not sure what to write in a birthday card? Depending on your relationship with the recipient, you can make the card funny or more sentimental.
If you want to make your friend laugh, funny birthday message ideas could be:
- Knowing someone as amazing as me should be the only present you need. Happy Birthday!
- Happy birthday to the person who has turned 21 more times than anybody else!
- I believe you forgot my birthday gift last year. I’m returning the favour this year. I’m sorry but a Happy Birthday is all you’re going to get.
Sentimental birthday wishes can always include thank-you’s for your relationship and anything you appreciate from the birthday boy or girl such as the sentimental birthday message suggestions below:
- Happy Birthday. Everything that matters in my life matters because of you. Have the best birthday.
- If I must choose just one friend in my lifetime, I would choose you, over and over again! I cannot put into words how important you are to me. Happy Birthday!
When it’s time for your birthday, remember to send out birthday thank you cards. Write a list of what everyone got you for your birthday and thank them for the gift. Use our birthday thank you message post to get you started. A quick thank you shows that you appreciate what they got for your birthday, and when you send them a personalised birthday thank you card with photo, you can show them how you’re using the gift, especially if they don’t live close enough to see you open the present in person.
