The Greeting Card Poet Blog Archives

Welcome to the Greeting Card Poet Blog archives. Here, you'll find all of our past posts.

The blog was established as a helpful tool for folks who sometimes struggle with finding the right words to express themselves. This might show up on greeting cards, texts, emails or letters.

We've probably all been in that position at least a few times in our lives when you just don't know what to say or write. Sympathy cards can be difficult to write even for the most experienced. Or, how do you say something meaningful, but not derivative, for a best friend's birthday. Graduations, weddings, anniversaries, and holidays all usually require us to put a few words down. That's where the Poet can help.

We've enlisted the support of professional writers to come up with lists of ideas for you. Most of the heavy lifting has been completed for you. Read through the selections, find ideas you like, personalize them, and you're good to go.

Here are a few of our favorite posts for you to check out. "Funny Happy Birthday Messages," "Christmas Card Messages," and "Tuesday Quotes: I Can't Even See The Weekend From Here." Click through these menu pages for ideas, and please come back often.
