What to Write in an 80th Birthday Card

Ever stare at a blank birthday card and draw a mental blank?

Yeah, us too.

Especially when it’s a big one, like an 80th birthday!

Let’s face it, 80 years is a huge accomplishment.

This person has seen history unfold, rocked trends that are back in style (and maybe even out of style again!), and probably has some amazing stories to tell.

So, how do you put all that into a birthday card?

Don’t worry, we’ve got your back (and hopefully a few funny anecdotes up your sleeve).
