That is tough. :D
Um. I would write something like "Happy Birthday, ________ and many many more!"
But I've never written a card to a baby..
Hope that helps.

im not sure how things work over there, it could be different than Australia, being in a relationship we write on 1 card the same card together. we write on the card like happy 2nd birthday love and both our names. maybe if you were married things would be different. i wouldnt stress about it to much, long as you have a nice gift and card together thats all that matters. i think 1 card coming from 2 people (a couple) says it all.
good luck .

I would say the same as Ministry, but then it depends on your background and traditions.
If you are to give a card from yourself without your bf's name on it, just write "TO (the kids name)" and write some witty/nice message and who its from. There is no need to write godson, nephew etc.

I'll ask my mom. She'll know what to do. Keep in mind both my and Chadi's families are ultra-conservative and traditional.[/QUOTE]
2 year olds dont read the cards. No giving him one would be an Australian option.
(Waiting for all the Aussie's to rip me a new one:kissing:)

You love our country but you also love bagging us I see :D I know...it's an european thing...
I don't know if I'm too late here to reply but the card for a kid this age is really to the parents in the way of...if you don't say something along the lines of being a family member to the kid, they'll remember it forever!
Maybe bite the bullet this once and say something like "To our nephew" or God son, whatever u like.

I appreciate the advice but LOL I canNOT say he's my nephew or godson. I'm not even CLOSE to being part of the family. It's only been a year and a half and I'm 20 :P Thanks though!! His birthday is Sunday. I'll figure something out. I can't wait to buy him an outfit. Baby shopping is the BEST.

Maybe just not get him a card. Or just put the kids name and say from Julia.

Okay, so here's the thing...my boyfriend's brother and sister-in-law invited me to their son (my boyfriend's godson and nephew)'s birthday party. He's turning two. They also invited me last year. It'll be easy to buy a gift, but I'm not sure what I should write in the card. I mean...it's not like I'm family or anything, even though Chad's family treats me as though I'll become a member...someday.
Any suggestions? I'm usually really good at writing personal cards, but for a little boy who's my boyfriend's godson...well...lol it's a little tricky.
I would write something like "Happy Birthday

I would write love and happy birthday! especially if you have been together for over a year...i don't think it's inappropriate. esp. if you are fairly close..His party was prob a while ago lol i was just looking at the dates..but those are my 2 cents lol

I think that you should just keep it simple that way it is not confusing for you or the child:) maybe put something witty inside like a little four verse bday poem a bit like roses are red etc but that depends on your required taste! hope that helps!

That's a truly unusual question. How well do you know the family? Are you actually going planning to be a part of said family at some point? If you're not I'd keep the gift to a minimum of extravagance. Otherwise, go all out! He's a kid...get him something...kid-like. Sorry, I suck at children stuff.
