Some Birthday Card Ideas

Do you remember how many birthday cards you received last year on your Big day? As for me, honestly 2 cards. But both of them were personally made by close family members See I don’t have a crafty family, neither do I got a big one, but I’ll always treasure those cards because I know the time, thoughts and effort it took to create something personable that was “me”. This made me feel loved and appreciated. I’m sure that any recipient of your creative birthday card will also feel the same way I felt when I received my homemade birthday card. Take some time to plan it, if needed. Or if have so many wonderful ideas running wild in your mind then let it out – be creative! You won’t believe the things you could possible create! Don’t be surprised if you start having family members, friends and co-workers asking you to create creative birthday cards for them.

Have you ever gotten a birthday card from someone that simply read “Happy Birthday” with the person’s name signed at the bottom? If so, you probably don’t remember it. That’s because the most memorable birthday cards come with a personal message from the giver. In some cases a well-written birthday card will be cherished even more than an expensive gift.

A birthday card is more likely to be kept and cherished if you write a message on the inside. For a child’s birthday, keep the message short and sweet. Just tell the child how much you love him and include a handwritten “happy birthday.” For a sentimental person’s birthday, write about how she has touched your life.

For a humorous birthday card, write about a funny event that occurred between you and the recipient. Include an “inside joke.” For a milestone birthday like 40, reflect on old times in your message to the recipient.
