How to write wishes of your own

  1. 1

    Start with a memory

    One specific memory says more than five adjectives.

  2. 2

    Say what you value in them

    “Thank you for always picking up when I call at the worst time.”

  3. 3

    Wish for something that matters to them

    Instead of “all your dreams”: “that this year you finally make it to Lisbon”.

  4. 4

    Add a little humour

    An inside joke makes it sound like your conversation, not a shop card.

  5. 5

    Want to say more? Write a letter

    Hand it over on paper or send it as a page with a few photos.

Where to put your words

On a card, in a message or next to shared photos, which bring back the moments you write about. You can make such a page on Storka and send it as a link; the first one is free.

Frequently asked questions

How long should a card message be?

Two or three sentences are enough for a card; for a big anniversary, write a longer letter.
