Our tips

Name the occasion

“Congratulations” on its own could go to anyone. A word about the event — the baby's name, the school, the company — turns a formula into a personal note.

Send early rather than perfect

A message on the day beats a polished one a week later. Two sincere lines at the right moment always land better.

Your frequently asked questions

How formal should a congratulations text be?

Keep the tone you normally use with that person. In a work setting or a distant relationship, slightly more formal wording is the safer choice.

Is it fine to congratulate by text rather than by phone?

Yes, and it is often more considerate: a message is read when it suits, which avoids interrupting a day the event itself has already filled.
