Quick tips: make the message your own
- Start with a nickname or memory: a single line about something only you two understand makes the message personal.
- Add a wish: health, travel, love, or a small funny wish works well.
- Close warmly: “Love you,” “Always,” or “Your friend forever” adds heart to your sign-off.
