How to Personalize a Short Birthday Wish
- Add his name or nickname. One familiar word immediately makes a short message more personal.
- Name one quality. Kindness, persistence, humor, honesty, curiosity, or courage can replace generic praise.
- Match his age. A teenager and a forty-year-old son should not receive the same tone.
- Do not overload the card with advice. Birthday messages work best when celebration comes first.
- Keep Mom's natural voice. A simple line he can imagine hearing from you is often the strongest one.
