Sorry Card Messages

Sorry card messages: what to write

A sorry card works because it's slower and more deliberate than a text. These apology messages keep it simple: say what you did, say you're sorry, don't explain it away.

Avoid "sorry if" and "sorry but". A clean apology without conditions is the only version that helps.
