Frequently asked questions
- What should I write in a birthday card?
- Open with a warm "happy birthday", add something personal - a memory, an inside joke or what you appreciate about them - and close with a wish for the year ahead. Keep it genuine; one or two sincere lines beat a long generic message.
- What is a short birthday message?
- Try "Happy birthday! Hope your day is as wonderful as you are" or "Wishing you a year as amazing as you." Short messages work well when several people are signing one card.
- What do you write in a coworker's birthday card?
- Keep it friendly and professional: "Happy birthday! The office is better with you in it - have a great day and a fantastic year ahead."
- How do I send a birthday message online?
- Create a free birthday eCard on RecoCards, paste your message, add a photo or GIF, and email it instantly or schedule it for their birthday.
- Can a group add birthday messages to one card?
- Yes. Share a group birthday card link and everyone adds their own message before it is delivered together.
