Card message FAQs

How do I make a card message feel personal?

Start with one thing that is genuinely specific to the person or your relationship. A shared memory, nickname, quality you admire or small everyday detail can make even a short card message feel personal.

How long should a card message be?

There is no ideal length. Two or three sincere sentences can be enough, while longer wording works well when the occasion or relationship calls for it.

Can I change a generated card message?

Yes. Generated messages are intended as a starting point. You can copy the wording, shorten it, add a memory or change anything until it sounds like you.

Should I choose a funny or heartfelt card message?

Choose the tone that sounds most natural for your relationship and the occasion.
