Frequently asked questions

How do I write a heartfelt birthday message?
Start with a warm greeting, mention a specific memory or quality you admire about the person, express your wishes for their year ahead, and close with a personal touch. Greetigo's free templates give you a starting point, and on Plus and Premium, AI writes a draft from the person's name, the occasion, the style you pick and any notes you add (for example, how you know them).
What should I write in a birthday card for a friend?
For a friend's birthday card, keep it genuine and personal. Reference an inside joke, a shared memory, or something you admire about them. You can go funny ('Another year older, but at least you're not as old as you'll be next year!') or sentimental ('Your friendship means the world to me'). Greetigo's templates help you find the right tone.
Can AI write birthday wishes that sound natural?
It can. On Plus and Premium, Greetigo's AI drafts birthday messages that sound warm and personal, not robotic. You choose a style, such as funny, heartfelt or professional, then edit the draft with specific names and memories to make it yours.
