What to write in greeting cards


I usually don't have a problem writing messages in greeting cards when the cards are for closer friends and family members.  However, I always have brain freeze or second guess myself when the cards are for people I don't know quite as well, or if I know the cards may be read in public.  So here are some examples of messages to write when the words don't come to you freely.
