Tips for Writing Mom’s Birthday Card
Last but not least, we wanted to leave you with a few tips to remember before you start writing anything down:
- Always write from the heart. Don’t just write to write – write because you mean it. If you aren’t sure what to say at first, grab some scrap paper and a pen and start jotting down ideas – you’ll be able to tell right away which of your thoughts are the most sincere!
- Make it personal. There are a ton of quotes and sayings out there that could apply to any birthday card, so make sure you’re choosing those that make the most sense for your mom – here, think about your relationship and look for sayings that define it!
- Have fun. Birthdays are meant to be a celebration, so although you want to be serious in what you write, don’t forget to put a little spunk and excitement into your thoughts too – we bet mom will love a little humor!
