How to write 18th birthday wishes.

Use these tips to create a fabulous birthday wish for the 18 year old in your life.

Send your happy 18th as a digital card. Turning 18 is a memorable occasion so make sure you deliver a special birthday wish. Digital natives will appreciate social media shout-outs, video messages and ecards, which you can easily make in Adobe Express.

Add a QR code for extra wishes. When there’s so much you want to say in your birthday wish, a card or social post can seem too limited. The easiest way around this is to create your good wishes online (on a web page) and then add a QR code to the card. All the recipient has to do is scan the code and read, watch or listen to everything you have to say.

Craft multi-channel messages. Crafting an awesome message can take time, so capitalise on your efforts by using your good wishes more than once. Post your message on your social platforms. Print out your design and hang it as an inspiring poster. Print your birthday greeting card and mail it to someone special. The possibilities are endless.

Use special photos in your birthday greeting. You can upload any photos stored on your device and use them to make your birthday wish super special. Find some of you and your friend having fun and include them on the card. When sharing photos publicly, such as on social media, ensure you have permission from anyone recognisable in the image before you post it.
