How to Personalize and Send

Want the message to feel real? Add one specific detail: a shared memory, a nickname, or what you admire. Instead of "Good luck," try "Good luck on your presentation—your slides are clear and your voice is calm." That small tweak makes the note about them, not the occasion.

Match the tone to the channel. Text messages can be casual and short. Cards and emails can be a bit longer and warmer. Social posts should be public-friendly—avoid private jokes or sensitive details. If it’s a condolence note, keep it simple, sincere, and offer a concrete help: "I can bring dinner Thursday."

Keep it brief when time is tight. A three-line message is often better than a long paragraph. People appreciate clarity: say what you feel, why it matters, and a small closing line like "love," "thinking of you," or "cheering for you."

If you need more options, copy one of the lines above and tweak one element—the name, the memory, or the next step. That’s all it takes to turn a ready-made wish into something personal. Save this page or screenshot your favorite lines so you have them when a moment pops up.
