Tips for writing a message

Name something specific you love or admire about her, not just “you're amazing.”
Keep the humor affectionate — tease the marriage, never her.
For a big birthday, let yourself be a little more sentimental than usual.
A shared memory makes even a short message feel personal.
One heartfelt line she'll reread beats a long message that sounds generic.
