The cards we receive are very familiar to us since they come from our own line of birthday greeting cards. It is what is written inside that makes these cards unique. In our situation, four key people in the company sign the birthday cards every year: the owner, the president, the department manager and one\u2019s direct supervisor. In the beginning, the comments were nice, but basically, generic. Expressions such as \u201cHave a great day,\u201d \u201cAll the best,\u201d or just \u201cHappy Birthday\u201d are common on most of these employee birthday cards. During the course of my 13 years of employment here, the once generic sentiments have changed somewhat in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps I have been working here too long, but the words I now receive seem to be a lot more personal and not always so \u201cnice.\u201d Some examples include: \u201cYou are looking fabulous at 60!\u201d (I was only in my 40s); \u201cEat some cake, you are making the rest of us look bad\u201d (after having lost a few pounds); \u201cEnjoy, but no gloating over the Yankee defeats\u201d (after my favorite Red Sox team won their second World Series). Am I upset by these comments? Not at all, because not only do I have thick skin, I like to dish it out as well. The people I work with have become my family over the years, sharing all my ups and downs. It makes me feel good knowing that they feel comfortable giving me the business. But keep in mind, when their birthdays roll around, I also can send out birthday cards to my fellow employees. So watch out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I work for a company that sells employee birthday cards, so it is only appropriate that its workers&hellip;","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1292,1297,1300,31],"tags":[129],"class_list":{"0":"post-1778","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-occasions-and-celebrations","7":"category-birthday-inspiration","8":"category-comforting-messages","9":"category-business-birthday-cards","10":"tag-employee-birthday-cards","11":"cs-entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Employee Birthday Cards with Sentiments of Fun - Gallery Connection<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/business-birthday-cards\/employee-birthday-cards-sentiments-fun\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Employee Birthday Cards with Sentiments of Fun - Gallery Connection\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I work for a company that sells employee birthday cards, so it is only appropriate that its workers&hellip;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/business-birthday-cards\/employee-birthday-cards-sentiments-fun\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gallery Connection\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2010-04-12T13:21:14+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-11-20T02:17:35+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Henry L.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Henry L.\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/business-birthday-cards\/employee-birthday-cards-sentiments-fun\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/business-birthday-cards\/employee-birthday-cards-sentiments-fun\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Henry L.\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/354a198a194eb6492cbacff6edb7440b\"},\"headline\":\"Employee Birthday Cards with Sentiments of Fun\",\"datePublished\":\"2010-04-12T13:21:14+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-11-20T02:17:35+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/business-birthday-cards\/employee-birthday-cards-sentiments-fun\/\"},\"wordCount\":302,\"commentCount\":0,\"keywords\":[\"employee birthday cards\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Occasions &amp;
