It adds a personal affection and that you thought of them during this very special occasion.

3. Choosing the Right Card

Choose a card that fits in with your relationship with your friend and the occasion being celebrated. A casual and lighthearted design should be chosen if you have a close relationship with a more relaxed friend, whereas if it is more serious or a formal occasion like a coworker moving away finding a card that is more formal rather than funny would be the best choice.
