Making meaningful wishes fit for milestone birthdays.
Follow these tips to make birthdays, 30th or otherwise, more magical.
- Make it meaningful. Make any birthday more memorable by creating something reflective and meaningful, like a memory book with anecdotes and photos, especially ones they haven’t seen before, from the celebrant’s loved ones.
- Design matters. When doing any creative project, apply design principles like hierarchy, alignment, and balance. These ensure that your design is well-organized, cohesive, and readable.
- Try a different approach. Switch up your birthday wishes by using creative or unexpected methods. For example, instead of cards, why not make a voice message or video montage for the celebrant? You can also create a series of wishes or messages that the celebrant can open at different times during their birthday.
