Father’s Day Wishes

June 15, 2016 by bluemountainecards

3440869_GiftfromDadQuote_BMA

Fathers Day is a wonderful time to remember the fathers and father figures in our lives. Whether they are the men we call Dad, father-in-laws, brother-in-laws, husbands, grandfathers, sons, or brothers, we look up to each of them in our own special way. Take some time to think about all the cherished moments you’ve spent with yours as you celebrate this special occasion.

Memories Make the Message

So where to begin? Whether you’re writing a note, a letter, or simply adding some thoughts to a Father’s Day card, you can turn your special memories into unforgettable messages. Sometimes it’s as easy as focusing on one special moment–perhaps a trip you took together, or playing ball in the yard, or even getting that piece of advice that’s always stayed with you. It can help you personalize your message in a way that he’ll know it came from you. Or instead of one thing, perhaps it’s a combination of all the things that make him special…like his sense of humor, how he’s always been there for you, and how you’ve always looked up to him.

What to Write…

As you take some time to personalize your message, here’s the main thing to consider… nothing speaks like your own heart—whether the words are sentimental, sweet or even funny. The following ideas are included to help you start or add to your message—you can use them as they are, combine a few or just use the basic ideas to get you going.

 For Your Own Dad

(for males) Dad, you are the man I’ve always wanted to be…
(for females) Dad, I’ll always be your little girl…
For all the things you have been in my life, Dad…
You are the person I model myself after…
Dad, you put the super in hero…
You made my childhood memories the happiest they could be…
I am the (man/woman) I am today because of you…
To my friend, my mentor, my father…
Having a dad like you made growing up so much (better/sweeter/happier… 

For Any Dad

You inspire me to live life to the fullest…
It takes a special kind of man to make others smile from the heart…
Your love is as warm and bright as a sun-shiny day!
What makes your (advice/love) so special is that it comes from you!
You’ll never know how many lives you’ve touched, or how deeply your love has been felt…
You’ve been a mentor and a friend and you’ve made the/my world a better place…
My day is filled with hope and inspiration because of you…
Everyone should have someone as special as you in their lives…

 For Husband

You are my knight in shining armor!
My life/Our lives would not be the same without your love…
You are my rock, my partner, my love…
For the man who helps make my/our world complete…
You fill my heart with joy, happiness and hope each and every day…
You are the compass on our life’s journey together…
You are the man of my dreams…
Lucky me/us–having you to love!

 For a New Dad / Dad-to-Be

(for girls) Your new little princess is ready for her fairy-tale dad!
(for boys) Your new little sports fan is ready to cheer you on!
Love is on the way with your little one about to arrive…
Wishing you all the joy and happiness fatherhood will bring…
Your arms will be filled with a bundle of joy, and your heart will be filled with love…
Tender moments are right around the corner…
It takes a special kind of love to make a father like you…

 More Messages

With warmth, love, and a special place in my heart…
Hoping you make the most of your special day…

Birthday Wishes for Brother

April 7, 2016 by bluemountainecards

04052016_birthday_brother_FB_BMA

We love our brothers. They mean so much to us but when it comes to celebrating their birthday, we may find ourselves suddenly hesitating when we go to write them a special message in their birthday card. We might think they won’t want any mushy sentiments or anything too emotional, but then again, maybe you and your brother have a super-close relationship and you could go on and on about how great he is, so how do you condense all your feelings down into something meaningful?

Whether your brother is a man of few words, a big marshmallow inside, or the kind of guy who is always the life of the party, here are some messages that will help you add your personal touch to his birthday greeting in just the right way.

Here’s a helpful tip — if your brother’s birthday has already passed this year, you might be interested to know that Siblings Day is just a few days away on April 10th. What a wonderful reason to send him a surprise card to let him know you’re thinking about him.

But if his birthday is indeed on the horizon, get ready to send him some birthday love with these ideas for messages that you might like to use or that might inspire you to write your own.

If you have a close relationship with your brother, you may want to add a warm, heartfelt message:

  • Do you know you’re a superhero?  Your special power is being a great brother.
  • I’ve always loved having you for a brother, and I wish you everything happy today and always.
  • Thanks for always being a light in my life. Happy Birthday
  • You’re such a great brother, and you deserve to have a birthday that’s every bit as special as you are.
  • I admire you so much for the person and brother you are. My wish for you is that your birthday is everything you deserve it to be and that the year ahead is a wonderful one for you.

 Haven’t talked to your brother in awhile or have somewhat of a distant relationship?  You can still acknowledge his day in a thoughtful way he’ll appreciate:

  • I’m thinking of you on your birthday and wishing you all the best.
  • We may have our differences, but I’ll always be glad that you’re my brother, and I only ever wish good things for you.
  • I know it’s been awhile since we talked, but that doesn’t mean I don’t think about you, especially on a special day like your birthday. I hope it’s happy for you.
  • Hope you have a great day and do something you enjoy to celebrate!
  • Just wanted to wish you a happy birthday and tell you that I hope it’s a great day.

If he’s a jokester who’s always up for a good laugh:

  • As my brother, you’ve always had great looks and charm. Copycat!
  • You’re such a great brother that I trust you with my life—but not a plate of chocolate chip cookies.
  • A brother like you is such a gift to me, even though you’re the one who should be getting the presents.
  • I hope you have a birthday that’s the perfect mix of fun and weirdness—just like you.
  • Don’t let another birthday get you down—gravity’s pretty much taken care of that.

Missed his birthday? There’s something to be said for the card that arrives in the mail days after the birthday has passed. It shows you not only remembered, but that you cared enough to still want to let him know that you’re thinking of him and want to send him a special wish:

  • Even though this is late, my feelings are still the same—you’re a wonderful brother and I  wish you everything happy.
  • I’m sorry this card didn’t arrive in time for your birthday, but I hope you had a fantastic day.
  • This birthday card isn’t late. I’m just extending your birthday becausea brother like you should be celebrated every day.
  • If you had waited a few days before you were born, this card would be on time.
  • Brother, you may feel this greeting card is very late, but I like to think of it as extremely early.

Birthday Wishes for Sister

April 5, 2016 by bluemountainecards

04072016_birthday_sister_FB_BMA

Whether your sister is younger, older, near, or far, her birthday is that one special day out of the year when you’ll want to show her just how much she means to you. And a personal message in a lovely birthday card can say it best.

After choosing the prefect card, you’ll want to add your very own wishes, making it that much more meaningful and thoughtful. Of course, this will require some heartfelt reflection. You’ll want to carefully think back on your great times together, her unique traits, and what your sisterly relationship means to you.

By the way, if you’d like yet another reason besides your sister’s birthday to send her a warm message, remember Siblings Day, which is joyously celebrated every year on April 10.

If you’re now ready to get started on your personal message but still need a little help with what to write in a birthday card for your sister, the editors at Blue Mountain have compiled a list of suggestions and ideas just for you. Some are sweet and touching. Others are silly and cute. But they all share the very same message: “I love you, sis.”

Without further ado, here are several ideas for birthday wishes that are sure to warm your sister’s heart and make her day.

  • Sis, you’re the one who made my childhood so happy and special. Thanks for all the great times we shared. I love you! Happy Birthday.
  • I feel so blessed to have a sister like you. After all, the bond I share with you, I don’t share with anyone else in this world. Wishing you the most fantastic birthday ever!
  • A sister like you is a gift from heaven. Thanks for being such a wonderful gift. You’re the best. Happy birthday, sis!
  • Hey, (name)! You’re not getting older. You’re just another year closer to looking like Mom. Happy birthday, beautiful!
  • You’re the most wonderful present our parents could have ever given me. Wishing you a birthday full of laughter and joy. Happy to you, sis!
  • Happy birthday, (name)! I’m so proud to have you as my sister, my support, and my best friend. Wishing you a beautiful day. Love you!
  • Happy birthday to my favorite sister! Ok, so maybe you’re my only sister. But you’re still my favorite, hands down.
  • A sister is someone who knows everything about you and loves you anyway. Thanks for being there for me through the years. Sisters for life! Happy birthday.
  • You’ve filled my childhood with love, laughter, and happiness. I’d like to fill your special day with the same. You’re the best, sis. Happy birthday!
  • For all the giggles, tears, pillow fights, and fun we’ve shared, here’s to our bond…and to your happy birthday. Love you, sis!

How to write a Thanksgiving blessing – Part I

November 23, 2015 by bluemountainecards

How to write a Thanksgiving Blessing from BlueMountain.com

November brings with it the flurry of preparation for the upcoming holidays, and in these next few weeks as menus and guest lists are planned, it’s also a good idea to start thinking about the annual tradition of the Thanksgiving prayer or blessing.

Perhaps you give the blessing each year, or maybe you’ll be invited to lead a prayer
as a guest in someone’s home. If the latter makes you tremble like Tom Turkey in the barnyard, fear not— we’ve written a two part series, including some helpful tips on how to offer warm and gracious blessings and prayers full of gratitude.

Thank you…to whom?

Many people feel pressured on the “what should I say” moment during grace. You don’t have to be Christian, or belong to any religion, to offer a prayer of thankfulness. If you are a Christian, than your prayer very likely would include God and you could thank Him for being among friends and family and for the food you’re about to share. Some tribal traditions thank the animal that sacrificed its life, others address the Universe, and many acknowledge the Earth and those who worked and labored to produce the food.  Taking time to speak gratitude out loud is a soulful gesture in itself, regardless of one’s tradition.

Think about what you’re thankful for:

Everyone has something to be thankful for, even if it’s simply being alive. Write down a list of people and things you cherish, and also think about things that have happened to you, or others that will gather with you, and speak positively about them.

Here are some thoughts to get you started:

  • Think of  the friends and family members you cherish
  • Are people traveling to see you? Think about gratitude for safe travels.
  • What about faithful pets? Give thanks for their companionship and comfort each day.
  • A warm home and food on the table is more than many have, and worthy of much gratitude.
  • Is someone ill and trying to heal? Think about offering thanks for the doctors and medical care they are receiving, or were fortunate to find.
  • Maybe someone is waiting on a new job, or perhaps someone lost a job—you could give thanks for the blessings ahead, and the courage and strength to persevere.

Help words and phrases:

For those writing a custom Thanksgiving prayer, these words and phrases can be plugged into any prayer during Thanksgiving:

  • blessing(s)
  • thankful
  • Thanksgiving
  • giving thanks
  • God’s gift of feast
  • family harvest
  • harvest gathering
  • feast of life
  • Autumn togetherness
  • unmeasured appreciation

Hopefully, your mind is swirling with ideas, and don’t forget to check back next week with our follow up post which will include poems, graces and prayers you can use for your blessing.

What to Write: Family Birthday Wishes

What Could Be Better Than a Birthday?

From young to old–and since time immemorial–people have celebrated birthdays in all kinds of unique and wonderful ways. But whether we like fanfare or some quiet time just to dream, we all deserve to have a day that’s simply perfect for us–and to be reminded how special we are and the difference we make in this world. And–if we happen to be family–perhaps even more so.

I Want to Tell Them…

Sometimes the people we care about most can be the last to know it!  Sometimes we’re just better at doing something to show our love than we are at talking about it.

Is there something they’ve said or done that made all the difference?
Something special you want to thank them for?
What does this person mean to you?

Some of my favorite family stories have you in them.
We share a special connection…

What to Write in a Thank You Note

April 16, 2015 by bluemountainecards

04122013

“THANK YOU.”  Most everyone says this daily and it feels perfectly natural to say it.
But for special situations, when we want to put our gratitude in print, it’s different and, sometimes, even difficult. So once you’ve got a great card or some nice stationery, what comes next in thanking someone for a gift, an interview, a thoughtful gesture? Perhaps
the tips below can help you write a thank you note that’s not only sincere, but appropriate as well.

Handwritten Thank You Note

First, know that a handwritten thank you note is always appreciated. With email being such a common form of communication, personal notes are more valued than ever. And taking the time to acknowledge someone’s kindness or time will mean the world to them. Simply the fact that you’re writing a note sets you up for success.

Be Timely

Next, try to be timely. A thank you note is best sent within a week. For a large event, like
a shower or wedding, up to three months is acceptable, but “sooner” is preferred than “later.”  If time gets away from you, just offer a humble apology, but don’t dwell on your delay. The note shouldn’t sound like it was a burden to write.

For more formal or business thank yous, such as after an interview, a thank you email can be sent immediately if there is a sense of urgency (say in placing an order or filling a position,) but it should still be followed up with a thank you note or letter sent shortly after the event–within 2 to 3 days. (See links below for more information.)

A few ideas for business thank yous…

  • I’m so happy you recommended our company to one of your friends…many thanks for your thoughtfulness. 
  • Or: We were so happy with your____________, we just wanted you to know we’ll recommend you to all our friends.
  • Thank you for the time you spent showing me…
  • Thank you for showing us what “above and beyond” really means…
  • I know your time is valuable, so I just wanted to thank you for making room in your schedule for me.

Be Yourself and Be Specific

Now, just be yourself…but be specific. Address the recipient in the way that’s comfortable for both of you, and then focus on your reason for writing. There’s no need for a long lead-in as you might do in a letter. Let the recipient know right away what you’re thanking them for, and describe it thoughtfully. Saying the gift is incredibly useful, the dinner was delicious, or their act of kindness was enormously helpful are personal touches that mean
a lot.

Add Some Details

Don’t hesitate to add more details to genuinely express your gratitude. For example, if you’ll think of the gift giver whenever you use their present, tell them so. If you felt the dinner guests were a great group of people, let the host know it. If thinking about what someone did still makes you smile, that’s something they’d like to know. Elaborating on the reasons for your gratitude helps people see themselves positively from your point of view—and doubles the joy of the gesture.

End With a Compliment

Finally, finish the note with a sincere compliment that will leave a lasting effect. Whether they’re a one-of-a-kind wonderful friend, an amazing cook, a prospective employer, or you appreciate the time they took out of their busy schedule, now is the time to tell them you noticed—and it will make them feel extra special.

Remember, the thank you note itself, although expected, can often be a pleasant surprise. And everyone wants to feel appreciated. So, the few minutes you take to tell someone you’re thankful could brighten their whole day…and yours!

A few ideas for social thank yous…

  • You always know the perfect thing to (do, say, give, etc.)
  • Your kindess during a difficult time was sincerely appreciated.
  • I feel doubly blessed…first for what you did, but mostly, for what
    you mean to me.

What to Write in an Anniversary Card

March 19, 2015 by bluemountainecards

ID# - 5878549  13-02763-00-00.psd

By definition, an anniversary marks a date that’s remembered because of a significant event. In this case, we’re highlighting a wedding anniversary, either your own or that of someone you care about.

To help celebrate this extra special occasion, you probably would want to send an anniversary card. But you really want it to speak straight from the heart—and every word needs to be both meaningful and sincere.

After you’ve finally settled on the perfect card, you then most probably will want to add your own personal note. And this is where the challenge lies. Where to begin? How to phrase your thoughts and wishes?  What exactly to include?

Blue Mountain is here to help!

First of all, it’s best to keep anything you write short and sweet.  (Think of one warm thought or feeling, one compliment about the other person, or one statement of gratitude.) It’s also important to express your feelings in your own genuine style (e.g., cute, simple, direct, romantic, corny, funny, etc.). Finally, be sure to keep the recipient clearly in mind, whether it’s a spouse, a friend, or a relative— and speak directly to them as you normally would in person.

For some great examples of what to write in an anniversary card, we’d like to share several ways to address that very special someone in your life:

For Your Own Spouse

  • To my one and only.
  • You are my endless love!
  • My heart is yours forever.
  • Thank you for another wonderful year.
  • I offer my heart to you again. And again. And again.
  • After all this time, you’re still absolutely, undeniably incredible to me.
  • My love is real because of you.
  • You make my life complete.
  • I love you not only for who you are, but for who I am when I’m with you.
  • To another year full of joy, love, and bliss.
  • Our union tells me God has blessed me with a tremendous gift.
  • I’m honored to grow old with you and to share memories of the blessed life we have together.
  • Happy anniversary to my best friend, the love of my life, and all the other titles you deserve.
  • Every year with you is sweeter than the last.
  • The longer we’re married, the more I realize I got the better end of the deal.
  • When I look into your eyes, I see a reflection of the love we’ve share and the many more happy years to come.
  • How sweet it is to be loved by you.
  • Every year that passes, I fall more and more in love with you.
  • One year down. Many, many more wonderful ones to go!
  • To the one person in this world who makes me the happiest!

For Someone Else

  • Congratulations on so many wonderful years together!
  • A wish that all your days together continue to be touched with lasting love.
  • May the cherished memories of the years you’ve shared make this anniversary a wonderful celebration indeed.
  • Wishing you a wonderful anniversary and a beautiful future with your one true love.
  • Congratulations on your anniversary and best wishes for many more wonderful years to come.
  • May you continue to be as blessed by your life together as those around you are blessed by your example of unconditional love.
  • True love stories never end.
  • To the couple who best exemplifies happily ever after.
  • May every year you share find you still more and more in love with each other.
  • Wishing you a very joyful anniversary and many more to come.
  • Happy anniversary to one of the coolest couples around!
  • Wishing you the special moments this golden day can bring, and through the years ahead of you, the best of everything!
  • May God bless you on this momentous occasion.
  • With love and best wishes for your anniversary.
  • Together may you share the things a perfect anniversary brings!
  • Wishing you all the happiness any couple could have.
  • May this be a day of tender moments, warm memories, and wonderful wishes for the future.
  • Celebrate the love that promises to bring so many more years of pure joy.
  • May your love continue to inspire others by shining brightly for years to come. Congratulations.
  • Wishing you much happiness as you continue to celebrate all the joys your marriage has brought.

What to Write in a Thank You Card

March 12, 2015 by bluemountainecards

 

We recently gave some advice on how to write a Thank You Note, and now we’re here with suggestions on what to write inside a Thank You card or eCard. You might be saying, “What’s the difference?” Although not vastly different, there are some points to take into consideration. You may want to write a bit more inside a Thank You card because there’s simply more room. Perhaps you’d like to be a bit more serious in a card… Read on for more tips and advice when writing a Thank You card.

Reflect on the person and situation you want to address. Is this someone you feel especially close to? Is the thank you for a gift or is this about a person’s generosity or thoughtfulness? If it’s the latter, remind them of how often you notice their generous spirit or willingness to do kind things.

Think about what the thank you is for. If for a gift, is it clear to you that they took time to choose it? Was their gift a reminder that you’re special to them? Is this for something nice they did for you or someone you care about? When you start answering some of these questions, it will help you develop some ideas of what to say.

Address them in a warm and personal way, thanking them for the specific gift or special thing they did. If they’re someone close to you, you can mention that you’re thankful for the gift, etc., but more than that, you’re thankful for their friendship, which you cherish all year through.

Let them know what the gift means to you. Did you eat the cookies they gave you right away or share them with your family? Did you wear the new scarf to work and everyone commented on it? Did their hospitality allow you to truly relax and enjoy yourself? Let them know that this gift has meaning for you.

You can then finish your note with a comment on how their gift or thoughtfulness makes you smile each time you think about it or let them know it added special meaning to your day.

The most important thing to remember is to be sincere…and to be yourself. Whether you go the traditional route or if funny is your thing, your appreciation will show through no matter which words you choose. So relax, and remember, too, that your note of thanks will start the year off right for both of you!

Finally, here are a few more idea starters that work well for many occasions:

  • Simply grateful for special people like you.
  • Your help was such a blessing.
  • Thankful, appreciative, grateful…that’s me because of you.
  • Thanks for all your special (caring) ways.
  • So lucky, so happy, so grateful for you.
  • Thank you for taking the time to be so thoughtful.
  • Could you have been any nicer? Don’t see how!
  • Thanks for thinking of me in such a special way.
  • Thanks…it was wonderful…just like you!
  • You’re a real sunshine-bringer!
  • You totally “out-niced” yourself!
