What to Write in a St. Patrick's Day Card
St. Patrick's Day-the one day a year when everyone suddenly claims to have Irish roots, wears way too much green, and toasts with a pint (or two). Whether you're celebrating with a parade, a cozy gathering, or just using it as an excuse to indulge in some shamrock-shaped cookies, sending a St. Patrick's Day card is a great way to spread a little Irish luck and cheer. But what do you actually write inside? No worries-we've got you covered!
Here are some ideas for the perfect message, whether you want to keep it traditional, make someone laugh, get a little sentimental, or send a sweet note to the little leprechauns in your life.
