What should you say to your man on his special day?
Sometimes it can be challenging to write deeply emotional birthday wishes in a greeting card for your boyfriend—especially if you are in a long-distance relationship. While choosing the right words to show how much you care is not rocket science, it can be difficult to know where to start.
What you write should remind him how much he means to you and show him that he is always in your thoughts. Revisiting your feelings for your significant other in writing can be a great way to remind both of you of the importance of your relationship in your lives.
