Tips to craft better birthday wishes and creative projects.

Follow these tips to craft unforgettable birthday wishes and projects.

• Match your message to the project’s format. Letters, cards, and banners serve different purposes, so it’s best to adapt your birthday wish or message to fit the format. For example, if you’re making a birthday banner, keep your wish short. If you’re writing a letter, your message can be as warm and detailed as you want.

• Leverage visual storytelling. Bring your 80th birthday wishes to life with illustrations, photos, and other visual elements. Applying visual storytelling to your creative projects makes them more engaging and lets you convey your message more effectively.

• Use high-quality resources. High-resolution images improve your project’s visual appeal. They also stay sharp and vibrant even when you’re printing large posters or banners.

• Keep it short. A short wish can be as impactful as a longer one. To make it special, add humor (that aligns with the recipient’s personality) and include shared memories. However, if you really want to write a longer message, try to structure it like a story to keep it engaging.
