How To Come Up With Greetings For Your Personalised Cards

If you're the kind of person who's always bought greetings cards

, you'll know only too well the familiar trek around the card store as you agonise over the choice between the country cottage scene, the cute teddies bearing love hearts or the glamorous lady with the party dress and the glass of bubbly.

You want to make an impact with your greetings card and you secretly hope it'll be their favourite. But how can you find a special card amongst so many thousands on offer, that will make the lasting impression you desire? It's never that easy to know what kind of image a person will respond to. That's where personalised cards come in. Long gone are the days when a greetings card simply looked attractive and said 'happy birthday'; special occasions just got a whole lot more imaginative.

With personalised cards you no longer have to agonise over which image is the prettiest or will make the best impression. Many of the images on personalised cards are specially designed to fit in with a wide range of hobbies, interests, hopes and dreams, making it much easier for you to make a choice. You can then add your loved one's name and surname to the scene, sometimes in a bold way and sometimes more subtly to deliver the message you want to give. Take the 'Stunning fireworks' and the 'Beach bum' personalised cards for instance. There's no bolder way to say their name than by writing it across the sky! On the other hand the 'Chocolate pudding' and 'Potting soil' personalised cards say it in a more subtle way; so it might take them a few seconds to notice the surprise hidden within the card!

But being creative doesn't end with displaying their name in a scene they'll like or identify with. If anything, personalised cards provide the opportunity to be more creative than ever with what we write inside. Have you noticed that some people really have a knack with words and know exactly what to put inside a greetings card to bring a smile to their loved one's face? It may not be a lengthy prose, in fact the more brief the message often the more clever it can be. Then there's the type of person who really doesn't know where to start and invariably ends up saying the same unimaginative words every time. So if you're the 'Happy Birthday Betty from Tom' type, you'll need all the advice you can get to jazz up your greetings.

The great thing about personalised cards is that your chosen words will come already printed inside, so you won't have to lift a finger and you can even order them to be sent direct to your loved one, which is great if you've only just remembered its their birthday tomorrow! It also means that you have the chance to think ahead, get creative and come up with something a bit more meaningful than your usual wise words in order to make an even bigger impact with your personalised cards. Think of the things your loved one would do on their special day if only they could. Would they spend it relaxing on a tropical beach perhaps, or driving a millionaire's sports car through the countryside? If you're ordering the 'Sandy Beach' or the 'Supercar Aston Martin' personalised cards, maybe you should write inside that you hope their special day will see them doing exactly that. Knowing full well that they won't be so lucky will provide that touch of tongue-in-cheek humour that'll make them smile.

There's also a lot to be said for using personalised cards to communicate your feelings. You may not often say it face to face, so put your inhibitions aside and say it in print. Messages like 'I love you', 'you mean so much to me' and 'thank you for all the great times we've spent together' are perfect greetings for romantic personalised cards. There are of course important milestone occasions when you'll want to give personalised cards, such as the 'to the happy couple' card for a wedding, or the 'Life begins at 40' card for that milestone birthday. These occasions call for special words, so tell the happy couple what a privilege it is to know them and to be sharing in the joy of their most special day and remind your 40 year old that now is the time to start planning ahead, travel the world, write that novel or go for that dream job!

Once you've chosen your special personalised cards and the heartfelt words to put inside, all that remains is to wait and see the delight on their face. They'll soon realise the thought you've put in as they read your imaginative prose and spot their name in some obscure place, whether it be over the top of the Eiffel Tower or hovering above the Great Wall of China!
