Birthday Messages
Birthday messages are the most frequently needed card messages due to the amount of birthdays we all celebrate. Here are a few of my favourite birthday messages and verses.
Birthday messages for a daughter:
You’re such a special daughter,
I feel that I’ve been truly blessed,
I love you so very, very much,
because as a person you’re one of the best.

Family life is many things
And one of the nicest joys it brings
Is having a daughter as dear as you
Who’s thought of in a special way
Not only on a special day
But warmly and with love
The whole year through!
Happy Birthday

I’m blessed with an angel,
Like heaven might send,
And I call her (NAME),

My secrets, my laughter, my dreams and my cares,
Someone through good times and bad, when there’s tears,

Happy Birthday

Your birthday seems the perfect time,
To say a word or two,

To send this wish your way,
For all life’s best and finest things,
Today and everyday.

Every time I fell, you pushed me up.
Shedding tears, you never let me drop one.

I believe, you carved me stronger through my core.

Till they’re flying off the chart!

Congratulations to you, my old friend,
Birthday wishes to you, I send.
You look good for your age, I could say,
But you look good to me any day.
When I look in the mirror, I sigh,
‘Cause I know the mirror doesn’t lie.
You’re aging like me, so you see
You’re getting to be an old guy.
Wedding Card Messages:
Wedding messages can differ depending on the relationship of both the receiver and the giver. You may require something more heartfelt if the wedding card message is for your son or daughter or something more general if the wedding card is for a friend or distant relative.
Wedding card messages for a daughter:
It’s fitting that it’s sunny
As you become a wife
Since from the day that you were born
You’ve been the sunshine of my life
You’ve been the perfect daughter
I couldn’t have asked for more
This comes with love to my Wonderful
Daughter and son-in-law
♦
You make an old man very happy,
in fact, I am just so very proud,
and I want to tell the world that I love you,
and I want to say it out aloud.
♦
Today dear daughter, as you walk down the aisle
you’ll see all the faces wearing a smile.
But as we remember those young tender years
our smiles will conceal a few hidden tears.
It isn’t through sadness; our emotions just whirl
as we’re both thinking back to our dear little girl.
♦
A special little girl was given to us one day,
You were placed into our arms for us to lead your way.
The love we had for you right from the very start
has grown so much and now it completely fills our hearts.
Our lives have had some laughter; We’ve had our share of tears,
And each has had their place, with the passing of the years.
You stand before us now, ready to be married.
It’s hard for us to realize you’re the little girl we carried.
We are so happy for you and (NAME) a nice man,
and we will help you and (NAME) in any way we can!
Wedding messages for a son:
Today (dear Son), as you walk down the aisle
You’ll see all the faces wearing a smile.
But as we remember those young tender years
Our smiles will conceal a few hidden tears.
They’re not tears of sorrow, but tears full of joy
As we’re both thinking back to our dear little boy
And now you have grown up and made us so proud
As you smile for the camera and the rest of the crowd
♦
Remember dear (name) as you take your new wife
You’re still very much a part of our life!

Inspirational Messages:
Sometimes when making a handmade card for a friend or family member you will need to add inspirational or motivational messages. You may want to write an encouraging message of good luck. Here are some of my favourite inspirational and encouraging verses.
Life is a precious thing,
much more than gold or land,
treasure every moment,
cherish every grain of sand.
♦
Life is a beautiful thing,
look for the beauty every day,
look for a beautiful thing to do,
or something beautiful to say.
♦
Life can be so exciting,
and it is definitely worth living,
and the more you give to life,
the more you will be given.
♦
You must learn to love yourself,
and never, ever sell yourself short,
because a problem shared is a problem halved,
that is the thinking behind the thought.
♦
We need to face our dragons,
Every problem we should tackle,
We should break down every barrier,
We should break every shackle.
♦
Because change is upon us,
You can hear the marching feet,
We should welcome the challenge
Our future we should greet.
♦
Because hope springs eternal
An energy we can tap,
Let’s not make the same mistakes
And walk into the same old trap.
Get Well Soon Messages:
If knowing that someone really cares

But rest will do you good, you know

Getting better by the day
