Using Clever Quotes for Birthday Wordings
Whether you're making a birthday greeting card, a birthday invitation, or a card to go with a birthday gift, there is one thing that is foremost on your mind: birthday wordings. So many birthday cards have been written, that some choice phrases have actually become generic and completely dull. Phrases such as "Many happy returns" and "Many more years to come" have become quite cliche, you would be ashamed to employ them on a card that you intend to give to a loved one!
It could become a challenge to find or come up with unique and interesting birthday wordings. One way to make sure you are at least able to make your card memorable is to employ not-so-famous quotes. Famous quotes are easy enough to find, but looking up obscure but no less witty and/or insightful quotes is sure to impress the birthday celebrant.
There are surprisingly few famous or obscure but witty quotes related to birthdays, so it may be extraordinarily difficult to find just the right phrase that would make your birthday celebrant smile. If it is taking up too much time and effort to dig up a good birthday quote, you could shift your attention to quotes that are related to different themes. Ideally, however, these themes should be related to birthdays - themes such as optimism, hope, good cheer, and aging gracefully would fit the bill.
Funny quotes are always a treasure. Try to find jokes that may be related to birthdays. But be careful! Quotes that make fun of aging people could be quite dangerous to use in delicate situations. If the birthday celebrant happens to be sensitive about his or her age, it might be quite inconsiderate to give him or her a card with a joke about aging! It would depend on the joke and the personality of the celebrant, of course, but such an act still runs the risk of triggering a relationship disaster.
If you should decide to use poetic quotes for your birthday wordings, make sure that the quotes adequately express your feelings toward the birthday celebrant. This is a surefire way to get the celebrant to appreciate your gesture.
