Tips for writing your card

  • Start with their name; it instantly makes the card more personal.
  • Flower cards are small, so one strong sentence beats a long paragraph.
  • A quick nod to a shared memory or inside joke makes the note unforgettable.
  • Don't forget to sign your name. If it's a surprise, leave just a hint.
