Writing Birthday Greetings

Writing birthday greetings can be a task, but also a great opportunity to convey our best wishes to our loved ones. We have all received birthday cards over the years, most of which we don't remember, but some of them meant more to us than the others and remain engraved in our memory.

So what was so special about those birthday cards that we do remember? Here are examples of two kinds of birthday cards. Which one would you rather receive?

Example 1

To Mom, Happy birthday Lots of love and wealth From________

Example 2

To my dear Mom, I wish you a sweet and happy birthday. May your face always glow and may all your wishes come true. May the birds chirp every morning in your honor and the sun always shine for you. I love you and I am so happy that you belong to me. Your son/daughter____________

There's no doubt that the second greeting is far more meaningful. It is impossible to stay indifferent when you receive a greeting like this. So how can your child write a birthday greeting like this? It is not easy to write an original and meaningful greeting. This kind of writing requires skill, effort and will.

However, if your child is accustomed to putting the effort into writing birthday greetings, in time he will become a proficient writer. But until then, he will need your help in writing the greetings.
