What to Write in a Daughter's Birthday Card?

If you’re like most people, you probably have some trouble coming up with what to write in your daughter’s birthday card. The best birthday cards are the ones that are written from the heart and show the recipient that you are thinking about them on their special day. Here are some ideas to get you started so you can find just the right message to tell your daughter how much she means to you. Happy Birthday!

1) Let her know you love her

This is self-explanatory, but it’s also really important. You can tell her how proud you are of her, or how much you like seeing your world through her eyes. Or, if she’s into something unexpected or unusual, now’s your chance to gush about how thrilled you are that she’s blazing her own trail. Whatever it is, don’t be afraid to get sentimental — your little girl won’t be little forever! But, choose one thing to focus on: too many ideas at once will likely result in a forgettable birthday message.

2) Tell her she is beautiful

All daughters love to hear how beautiful they are from their parents. This will give her some insight into your thoughts, and it will make her feel really good about herself. You can tell her she is beautiful both inside and out, and that you are proud of her for being unique and wonderful. She may feel insecure sometimes growing up but knowing that you think she is beautiful will put some of those feelings at ease.

3) Express your appreciation for her

As your child gets older, it can be easy to assume that you and she share an understanding of what you mean to each other. However, take time on her big day to express your feelings for her. Remind her how much she means to you and why (even if it’s something as simple as I wouldn’t be who I am without you). She will appreciate knowing that she has such an important role in your life.

4) Find a birthday card for her personality

Search through Karto for cards tailored to your daughter’s interests. If you can’t find something that fits her niche, consider writing your own handmade card. Use pretty paper and colorful markers to decorate it so she feels loved on her special day. Write down all of your favorite memories you've shared with her throughout these years.
