Birthdays aren’t just limited to cakes and candles, but one of the best times for intentional connection. It is that one day in the year where you remind someone special, that their presence in your life truly matters.
And while gifts may be surface level, a handwritten card has a better way of expressing your love to the person. It also feels rare, personal and timeless – gets revisited years later with a smile.
At Not Just Pulp, we believe a birthday card is more than just paper. It is a reflection of thoughtfulness, love, and the beautiful bond you share with your friend.
So, if you’ve ever stared at a blank card wondering “What do I even write?” Here is an inspiration to help you find the right words.
General Tips for Writing in a Birthday Card for A Friend
· Write from the Heart – Keep it real.
· Include a Shared Memory
· Keep it light and fun.
· Close with gratitude.
