Get Well Soon Card Messages

Get well soon card messages: what to write

Get well cards are hard because you don't want to be cheerful at someone who feels awful. These messages strike a lighter note: present, practical, not pitying.

Offer one concrete thing — a lift, a shop run, a visit — instead of "let me know if you need anything".

Warm get well messages

  • Thinking of you. No rush on getting better — take the time you need.
  • Sending love. I'll bring the shopping in on Thursday, no arguments.
  • Hope you're being properly looked after. Here when you're up to it.

Lighter get well messages

  • Get well soon. Daytime telly is punishment enough.
  • Doctor's orders: rest, biscuits and absolutely no emails.
  • Get well soon, mainly because things are duller without you.

Gifts to send with the card

Add a candle or a pin badge and the card and present arrive together.
