Essential Guides For Birthday Ecards Messages

By Gary Morgan


Birthday cards are a way of greeting people on their birthdays which you can write a personal message for that celebrant. These are done usually when it is not possible for you to personally send your gifts or you have not bought one. Other cards have messages already written also on them and choosing which one that has something that is similar to the one you want to tell them is what you need to only do.

With the internet becoming more popular and giving convenience to people, your heartfelt messages can now be sent in another way. This is through birthday ecards that you can either make on your own or choose from the thousands of available online selections. Here are some essential guides in composing a message to any celebrant.

Choose your cards carefully for each person so there would be no need of you adding longer personal letter. It is alright to let the printed one and its design do their work in greeting them and only a few short personal ones are needed. This is useful when you just want to keep it short and sweet and the card already has everything you want to say.

Milestone birthdays are those ages where people traditionally considered them to be as one like the eighteenth, twenty first, fiftieth, and others. The celebrant may not feel that this particular birthday is different from others so it would be your job to make them feel that. Cards are available where the age number is prominently featured in their design.

Sometimes, people get too busy with responsibilities such as work and you only remembered their birthdays days after the actual day. Insert your sincere apology for giving it late or use it as an opportunity in writing something humorous instead. This might even make you stand out more in a positive way if properly done.

If sending to kids then keep your wishes fun, short and sweet because they are not excited to read long messages even though they already know how to read. Some adults dislike being reminded about their new age though the kids love this when you show your knowledge of how old exactly they are. When the number has not been printed then write that in your message somewhere.

When giving one to a family member, you have probably given a lot of times before throughout the years of living together. Changing your personal message every time or alternating between longer and shorter ones is great. If the family relationship is not printed already then use the title you address them or mention your relationship.

Tough times might have happened before or during their birthdays like bereavement, job loss, illness or other circumstances. Send a card and let them know that you are still thinking of and celebrating with them their special day in spite of what happened. You might even brighten their day up by putting humor in your letter.

When sending one to a fellow employee, if you are close with them then you can do the same thing you do with your friends. But if your relationship is strictly about work then keep it formal. Do not talk anything related to work on your message.
