Aside from adding your 20th birthday wishes to birthday cards or flyers, why not create time capsule wishes? Ask friends and family to write their predictions or advice for the birthday celebrant to open when they turn 30.

Design themed cards in Adobe Express. For example, the front cover could feature graphics inspired by the celebrant’s hobbies or interests. The back part could be a continuation of the design with ample space for messages or small doodles.
