Card writing made easy: 5 tips for the perfect writing flow
There are plenty of them online: suggestions and guidelines for every conceivable occasion, including how to write the perfect greeting card : "Tips for a thoughtful Christmas greeting," "Best wishes for a wedding," "Special birthday wishes," and so on. When you're sitting with a blank greeting card in front of you and the right words just don't come, these sites can certainly be very helpful. Still, the greetings somehow don't feel that personal anymore. And yet, writing cards is actually so easy!
Here are 5 tips to help you unleash the author within you!
Tip 1: Make it an event!
A greeting card isn't something you write in a flash. Of course, you can't fit a lot of text on a card like this, so you might assume it's a quick write. But if you want your wishes to be authentic and honest, you should definitely allow yourself enough time to write! We know from experience: writing greeting cards can be a lot of fun if you go about it correctly. So, first and foremost, create the right mood! Choose a pen you like to write with, make yourself comfortable on the couch, make sure you have the right lighting, and put on your favorite music! You, as the sender, should also have fun with the greeting card ! Make it a break from your otherwise stressful everyday life and enjoy the moment!
Tip 2: Evoke memories
What connection do you have with the person the card is addressed to? Have you experienced something particularly beautiful or exciting together? What have you been through? What role does he or she play in your life? As your mind wanders, choose one of the many memories and write a short anecdote from it as a humorous opening. "Dear, do you remember?" is always a lovely way to start an airmail greeting and is guaranteed to bring an instant smile to the recipient's face.
Tip 3: Formulate wishes
This part isn't as tricky as you might think! Once you've written the first sentence, the second will be much easier. Whether you're writing the card for a special occasion or simply because you're thinking of someone, good wishes are a must. Look within: What do you really wish the recipient? Let go of clichés and preconceived wishes and go into detail. Happiness? Love? Health? Something that only scratches the surface won't get under the skin. A good wish comes from the heart and refers to a very specific thing.
Tip 4: The personal greeting 
"Easy!" you think, and it really is! But instead of simply adding your name at the bottom of the message, you could also emphasize your connection here. What is your relationship to the recipient? Is she a good friend? A longtime friend? A beloved sister? Then say it! "Your always loving sister Chantal" sounds a thousand times nicer than simply "Greetings, Chantal." Try it out!
Tip 5: That certain something extra
Congratulations! You've written a super-beautiful, authentic, and honest greeting card! You're basically done! But if you're still feeling fancy, now's the time for that little extra! You could put the finishing touch on the card, so to speak. Perhaps a little drawing? A kissy mouth with lipstick? A bit of glitter? Go wild!
