Sometimes, pre-written messages don’t quite say what your heart’s trying to scream. So here’s a quick way to write your own meaningful birthday card note.

Step 1: Start with a memory.
“Remember when you tried to run away but only packed gummy bears and socks?”

Step 2: Speak from the heart.
“You’ve always been stubborn and sweet. It’s a deadly combo I adore.”

Step 3: End with a wish.
“Here’s to a year of wild growth, cozy nights, and spontaneous dance parties.”

Short or long, silly or sacred—your words will mean the world.
