- Words of Sam's that you have caught yourself using.
- A day Sam made better just by turning up.
- Something Sam taught you without meaning to.
- A small thing about Sam that nobody else would notice.
- The story about Sam you tell most.
- The moment you knew you had a proper friend in Sam.
- Something Sam did that only a friend would.
- A thing you still laugh about together.
- The time Sam turned up when it mattered.
- Something Sam knew about you before you said it.
- Something Sam did for the family that went unsaid.
- A habit of Sam's that you have caught yourself copying.
- A memory of Sam from when you were younger.
- Something Sam put up with from you.
- Something Sam taught you, mostly by example.
- A small thing Sam did that you noticed and never mentioned.
- The moment you knew.
- Something Sam did this year that made things easier for you.
- A thing about Sam you would not change.
- Something Sam carried that was yours to carry.

French birthday card messages
In French, in English, or a mix. Pick one, add their name, sign yours.
In French
Joyeux anniversaire. Tu comptes beaucoup pour nous tous.
Bon anniversaire, et merci pour tout ce que tu apportes.
Bonne fête. On est tous là pour toi.
Joyeux anniversaire de la part de nous tous.
From an English speaker, with a little French
Joyeux anniversaire. We could not let the day go by without a card.
Happy birthday. A little French from all of us, and a lot of good wishes.
Wishing you a joyeux anniversaire from the whole group.
Happy birthday from everyone here. We asked Google how to spell it.
A few things to keep in mind
Set the open date to the birthday itself. The card opens that morning, so picking the wrong day means they read it too early or miss it entirely.
Do not assume everyone signing can write in French. Ask them to write what they know, or just sign their name. A card with ten names and two French messages is still a good card.
Share the link a week before. Waiting until the day before the birthday means some people will not see it and the card goes out half-signed.
One card from everyone
One link, everyone signs, and it opens on the birthday.

Each wish carries a name. In French, in English, or both.
Questions
Can I write in French on tbf?
Yes. Write in any language you like. The person reading it sees exactly what you typed, signed with your name.
Who can sign a group birthday card?
Anyone you send the link to. There is no limit on how many people sign.
Can I send the card after the birthday?
You can change the open date right up until the day. Once it opens, the card is read.
Somebody has a day coming up.
