Quick Tips Before You Write

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good short congratulations message?

“Congratulations, you truly earned this. So proud of you.” Short, specific and warm is the best formula. Mention the achievement and add one kind wish.

How do I write a congratulations message that does not sound generic?

Name the person, name the achievement, and mention one quality you admire, such as patience, honesty or hard work. That one detail makes the message feel personal.

Should I send a congratulations message by text or card?

Send a text on the day to share the happiness quickly. For big events like a wedding, new home or graduation, a handwritten card feels more lasting. See our graduation card messages if you are not sure what to write.
