Another birthday card to write... How am I meant to think of something thoughtful and sweet to write, when I’ve written so many birthday cards already this year? You want to show your friend just how special they are to you, and you want them to have the best birthday ever, because they deserve it. They are sunshine in human form, right?

You can copy them word-for-word, or personalise them as you wish, depending how creative you are feeling. The great thing is, this means your friend will get a super special birthday card, written with love, from you, and they will never know you used the trusty internet for a bit of help.
