Mums keep the cards their children give them, so make this one worth keeping. Lead with one specific, true thing about her and say plainly what she means to you. 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.
