What Do You Say in a Family Grandparent's Day eCard?

When your family is writing together, you must determine a balance that is optimum between what you all like and what is most personal. You must write what is shared, but most personal. Here's how:

Start with a family message

Start by beginning with a letter that represents all members.

"To the anchors of our family—thank you for always being there with your love, your strength, and your stories."

Add genuine greetings from every member of the family

Everyone, parents and little children, can add a personal message.

Examples:

"Thanks for your patience and for teaching me to ride a bike."

"I still laugh when I remember how you would sneak me cookies when Mom was gone."

Finish with a group goodbye

"Love from all of us—your proud, noisy, and always grateful family."

Incorporating your own stories, appreciation, or words of wisdom expressed by them makes such Grandparents Day greetings remembered and even cherished.

How Do You Make Each Family Member's Message Feel Special in One Combined Card?

If you're sending one card collectively as a family, you don't want it to look like a copy-paste drill. This is the way you can let each of your donors' personalities and affections shine through:

Break Up the Themes

Get each member to write about a different theme—one can write a humorous memory, one a lesson learned, one a favorite holiday spent together.

Add Nicknames and In-Jokes

These little things warm up messages.

"To Nana Banana, queen of bedtime stories"

"From your favorite pickle thief (you know who that is.)"

Invite All Ages to Join In

Invite grandkids to include doodles, emojis (if the grandparents are high tech), or dictated words. Even one-liners such as "I miss your pancakes" will melt hearts.

Include Images

Sendwishonline.com is photo and media friendly, so include a collage of previous visits or scanned in handwritten letters in the card.

End with a Group Signature

Finish off with a group signature and all their names:

"Love from Priya, Anuj, Meera, Aarav, and the entire Sharma crew."

Since each person signs in his or her own words, the finished product is a very personal, individual digital Grandparent's Day card that their grandparents will read over again and treasure.
