How to Write the Perfect Greeting Card


When it comes to heartfelt communication, nothing beats a handwritten greeting card.
At Beaubrook.co.uk, we believe that every card should feel personal, meaningful, and memorable. When you’re looking for greeting card writing tips, the key is to keep it heartfelt and authentic. Whether it’s for a birthday, wedding, or just to say thank you, here’s how you can write the perfect greeting card.

1. Start with a Warm Greeting

The opening sets the tone. Keep it warm and personal:

“Dear Sarah,” feels more genuine than just “Hi.”

If it’s for family or close friends, use nicknames or terms of endearment.

 

2. Express Your Sentiment Clearly

Not sure what to write in a card? Think about the occasion and the relationship you share. Be specific with your words:

For birthdays: “Wishing you a year full of laughter, adventure, and joy.” Explore our open birthday card collection for inspiration.

For weddings: “Congratulations on your beautiful journey together.” Check out our wedding card collection
.

For sympathy: “Keeping you in my thoughts during this difficult time.” Find comforting options in our sympathy card collection
.

3. Add a Personal Touch

Adding a personal touch ensures your greeting card messages feel truly unique. Share a memory, an inside joke, or a detail special to your relationship. This makes your card stand out and feel one-of-a-kind.

Example: “I’ll never forget our late-night chats during uni—here’s to many more adventures together.”

4. Keep the Tone Authentic

Don’t overthink it. Write as though you’re speaking to the person. Authenticity is far more powerful than perfectly polished words.

5. Close with Heart

End with a thoughtful sign-off that matches your relationship:

“With love,”

“Yours always,”

“Thinking of you,”
