Tip 1. Choose a template they’ll love.
If the person you’re congratulating is a fan of a particular series, celebrity or character, why not choose a card with this theme? Whether they’re into Dolly Parton or are a lover of the Lion King, incorporating something you know they like will make the card a bit more personal.
Tip 2. Select a suitable message.
