No one is closer to us than our siblings. Only siblings share your family’s story, grew up in the same house with the same parents, and generally know your entire life story. Whether you were close or not growing up, siblings are a tie to both the past and the future that should be cherished and celebrated. When your sibling’s birthday comes around it is the perfect time to let them know how much they mean to you.
Think store-bought birthday cards cannot be personal? Think again. The best way to personalise a card is by adding your own touch as you are signing your name. Need ideas? Here are some great ways to let your sibling know that you are thinking only of them on their birthday.
Add a Short Personalised Message Before You Sign
Instead of just writing your name on the bottom of the card and putting it into the envelope, consider adding a few extra words to make your sibling feel extra special. Some ideas to help you find the right words may be:
- I hope this is your best birthday yet!
- Hope this year’s celebration is unforgettable!
- It’s your day – make it great!
- Hope all your birthday wishes come true.
- Wishing you every happy thing on your birthday.
Add a Compliment
Make your sibling feel extra special by adding a compliment, especially if you are not one to throw sweet words their way regularly. Start by considering:
- I’m so lucky to have a brother like you.
- Si
Isters are lifelong friends, and I’m so lucky that you’re mine. - You’re one of my most favourite people to celebrate!
- You get more amazing every year.
- If there’s anyone who should have a perfect day, it’s you.
Share a Memory
Siblings share stories and memories with each other that no one else knows. Recalling a shared story is a great way to connect with a sibling on their birthday. Try these prompts to help you find a memory to share with your sibling for their birthday:
- Remember that time when…
- I remember when you forgot…
- I know you remember your first…
- One of my favourite memories of us is…
- Remember when mum and dad used to…
Share a Joke
Siblings often get each other’s sense of humour. Try including a joke that you know your sibling will love, either because it’s an old chestnut you’ve been telling each other for years, or because you’ve heard a new one you know they’d love. Sibling jokes are often inside jokes that no one else “gets’, and a birthday is a perfect time to celebrate that kind of bond. If you have a joke that you know will make your sibling laugh try writing it inside the card to help them have a happy day.
Share a Quote
There are lots of quotes about siblings, and an internet search is bound to provide you with lots of options that will describe your relationship with themyour sib. Including a sweet or funny quote inside the card can let your sibling know how much you love them.
Draw a Picture
If you have any artistic ability, or even if you don’t, drawing a sketch inside the card can certainly help make it more personal. Consider a picture of the two of you together doing something you love, even if you can only draw stick figures. Pictures of a childhood pet, the home you grew up in, your family and friends, or favourite places from your past can all be distinctive ways to remind your sibling of how special they are to you.
By personalising a store-bought card, you can ensure your sibling knows how much you care about them on their special day.
