Great tips for what to write in a 60th birthday card
Want to write your own 60th birthday wishes to a friend or family member, but don't know where to start? Follow these top tips to come up with the perfect 60th birthday message written straight from the heart.
- Wish them "happy birthday", and congratulate them on reaching this milestone age!
- A birthday is a great opportunity to tell the person how much they mean to you. If they are a friend, it's a perfect time to tell them how you appreciate their friendship and support.
- If the person enjoys a laugh, then a funny joke or age-related quote can be appropriate. It can lighten the circumstance of turning such a significant age.
- Personalize your message. Write about the recent moments you've shared with the person and how you've enjoyed their company (Christmas together, the recent summer trip to the Lake) or mention something that is coming up that you will do together, or you know they have planned eg "enjoy your birthday trip to NYC, I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back".
- Missed their birthday? Do still get in touch and wish them all the best. Birthdays are a great opportunity to keep in touch with friends and family, and a belated text message or card is better than waiting until next year!
