Every employee enjoys receiving that special card to help celebrate their birthday. Would it mean more to them to include a handwritten note in their greeting cards telling them how much they are appreciated? After all, John Adams said \u201cDare to think, speak and write,\u201d so I decided to give it a try to see the response.<\/p>\n<p>One of the next upcoming <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/birthday-cards\/birthday-balloons-cards.htm\">birthday cards<\/a><\/strong> that I had to send was Melody\u2019s. How original can I be? She is so creative that my idea could backfire, but I decided to write her a poem. Melody was so touched and surprised that I took the time to personalize her birthday card. Maybe it is a small step and surely not the type of writing that John Adams meant, but it certainly got me thinking and made Melody happy. Next in line\u2026Dolly and Lauren! I am sure I can have fun with what I will write in their birthday cards.<\/p>\n<p>I am sure John Adams had more on his mind with his quote, but isn\u2019t making someone happy on their birthday just as important as writing an epoch? That may be going a little overboard but you can never tell, all this thinking about what to say may get me to writing the next great American novel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I recently purchased stamps from the USPS so that I could mail out business birthday cards for my&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":[1292,1297,31],"tags":[38,46,912,80],"class_list":{"0":"post-220","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-occasions-and-celebrations","7":"category-birthday-inspiration","8":"category-business-birthday-cards","9":"tag-birthday-cards","10":"tag-employee","11":"tag-business-birthday-cards","12":"tag-note","13":"cs-entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Business Birthday Cards Inspired by a President - 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\/business-birthday-cards-inspired-by-a-president\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Business Birthday Cards Inspired by a President - Gallery Connection\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I recently purchased stamps from the USPS so that I could mail out business birthday cards for my&hellip;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/business-birthday-cards\/business-birthday-cards-inspired-by-a-president\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gallery Connection\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2008-03-06T14:42:01+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-11-20T01:51:02+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\/business-birthday-cards-inspired-by-a-president\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/business-birthday-cards\/business-birthday-cards-inspired-by-a-president\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Henry L.\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/354a198a194eb6492cbacff6edb7440b\"},\"headline\":\"Business Birthday Cards Inspired by a President\",\"datePublished\":\"2008-03-06T14:42:01+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-11-20T01:51:02+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/business-birthday-cards\/business-birthday-cards-inspired-by-a-president\/\"},\"wordCount\":291,\"commentCount\":0,\"keywords\":[\"Birthday Cards\",\"employee\",\"Business Birthday Cards\",\"note\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Occasions &amp;
