Plan your theme according to the personality of the recipient and your relationship to them.

Step3
Write a colorful birthday message on the outside of the card, and a personalized message inside. Draw a colorful picture if you like.

Glue on some glitter, confetti, or torn scraps of colorful tissue paper, or attach some whimsical stickers. Allow the glue to dry.

Present the personalized birthday card to the happy recipient.
