Take a couple of minutes to think about the person, your relationship with that person, what he or she likes if you have any memorable moment with that person or anything you want to mention that makes him or her happy.

There you will write your wishes for them or tell them how much they are important to you. You can also mention all the happy memories you both have spent together and wish them the best for next year too! Since it is for a birthday, you should never forget to say, "Happy Birthday" somewhere inside the card!
