Questions

What do you write in a birthday card for your cousin?

A cousin is the childhood co-conspirator — a birthday card can lean on all that shared history. The strongest messages name one specific, true thing about them and say plainly how you feel — keep it short and it lands harder.

How long should a birthday message be?

One to three sentences is plenty. A short, specific line beats a long, generic paragraph — people remember the detail, not the word count.

Say it to Cousin in their language

The phrases natives use, and full messages by a native speaker — sent as a card in that language.
