Tips for writing a message

Say one specific thing you love about him rather than a general “you're the best.”
Match the tone of your marriage — romantic, funny, or somewhere in between.
For a milestone birthday, it's worth going a little deeper than usual.
A shared memory or private joke makes it unmistakably from you.
Even one honest sentence beats a card you leave blank.
