There are times in our lives when a simple pick-me-up can make us feel ten times better. This is especially true when someone is feeling poorly.
If a work colleague, manager, or teacher is sick, clubbing together as a team and finding the perfect group card with some light-hearted messaging can be tough.
So, to save you, your colleagues, friends, or your classmates precious time, the Thankbox team have put together some top tips when writing out your heartfelt get well soon card.
What Makes the Perfect Get Well Soon Message?
1. A Friendly Greeting
To start with, let’s go over your greeting.
Your greeting all depends on the relationship you have with the receiver. If you’re sending to a work colleague or friend, you might opt for something more informal. For professional relationships, you’ll more than likely adopt a more business like tone..
For example, if you’re writing out a message to your boss, you might want to greet them with ‘Dear [name]’ or ‘To [name]’. Alternatively, you could just greet them with their name to play it safe.
2. Express Your Well Wishes
This part is the anchor of your get well soon message. It lets the recipient know you’re thinking of them and you want their recovery to be a speedy and healthy one. So, the messaging has to reflect!
And why not also contribute to a cash collection for a gift using Thankbox? That way, the recipient knows you’re all still thinking of them at such a tough time, and will feel even better as a result.
3. Keep It Light-Hearted
Staying positive and upbeat is just what the doctor ordered when it comes to writing out their get well soon card. For inspiration, we’ve put a few suggestions together further down in this article.
4. A warm sign off
This could be your usual sign off, but you might want to go a touch more heartfelt and maybe use:
With love
All my best
Thinking of you
Wishing you rest
Best wishes as you get better
PROMO
Why Send a Get Well Soon Message?
1. Let’s Them Know You’re Thinking of Them
A get well soon message lets the recipient know that you’re thinking of them and wishing them the best recovery possible. With that in mind, it’s important you know what your friend, colleague or classmate are going through to get the messaging and tone right.
2. Strengthens the Relationship
You prove that their health is your priority outside of the classroom or workplace and that adds trust and strength to your relationship. You probably spend more time with the recipient than you do with your own family at times, so a get well soon card is guaranteed to let them know how important they are to you.
3. It Puts a Smile on Their Face
You want to make sure that the recipient feels better after reading your card, not worse! Funny get well wishes, get well soon jokes, and light-hearted humour is bound to pick them up.
