Getting it right
Wishes, not compliments
Write what you hope the year gives them rather than a list of their good qualities. It is warmer, less awkward to read, and much harder to write generically.
Six is the number
Three feels thin, ten stops being read. Six wishes is where people finish the whole set.
Put one real thing in
Among the light ones, name something they actually carried this year. Being seen is the birthday present.
If you are stuck
Answer one of these honestly.
The software is the easy part. These are the questions that produce the sentence worth putting on the page.
- 01What did they get through this year that nobody made a fuss of?
- 02What do you hope is different for them by next birthday?
- 03What is something they want but never ask for?
- 04What would you say if you were not worried about being sentimental?
