70th Birthday Card Messages

70th birthday card messages: what to write

Seventy is the birthday where most people would rather be teased than fussed over. These 70th birthday card messages cover both, so you can match the words to the person rather than settling for whatever the shop verse says.

Pick a line, add a memory, sign it properly. That's the whole formula.
