View moreHow to use the right birthday greeting.
Picking your happy birthday wishes for cards and other birthday greetings isn’t always easy. Sometimes, there are added factors to be considered when you think about your recipient.
It’s important to be both considerate and creative with birthday wishes. Apply these tips to make your happy birthday wishes not just genuine, but mindful of each recipient’s frame of mind.
- If someone has had a hard year leading up to this birthday, future-facing birthday wishes are sometimes more meaningful.
- Some people don’t like their birthdays, so for these folks, consider birthday wishes that make it more about you (for example, your admiration or your wishes for their wellbeing).
- Personalize your happy birthday wishes. Tweak a word or add a line to make your birthday greeting customized to the recipient and your relationship with that person.
