How to choose the right greeting
When writing to a loved one, it’s best to choose warm words and add a personal touch: a shared memory, a character trait or a dream you know they have. Even a short message will feel special if you address the person by name.
For a colleague, a manager or someone you don’t know very well, a restrained, formal greeting without overly personal phrases is appropriate. A few sentences are sufficient for a message on a messaging app, whilst a more detailed message is suitable for a face-to-face greeting.
The best birthday wishes — not the longest or the most elaborate, but one in which the recipient feels the sincerity. Choose the right option, add a few words of your own — and an ordinary message of good wishes will become a warm gesture of thoughtfulness.
