Words of congratulations on the 70th anniversary of the woman should be special, like the date itself. Of course, everyone wants a close loved one or just an old friend to enjoy everything on this day, including the words in the congratulation.
And if the peers of the birthday girl or her friend easily find the necessary and sincere words, then the rest of the guests need to prepare for the anniversary in advance.
What should not be in the congratulation?
Congratulations on the birthday of a woman whose 70th birthday is usually proud of her whole family should correspond to this date.
In the texts are not allowed:
- familiarity;
- jokes of any type;
- excessive brevity;
- excessive duration;
- disrespect and everything that can be regarded in this way;
- lightheadedness;
- frivolity or ambiguity.
This list can be continued. In the text of congratulations on this date, in addition to general points inappropriate at such a holiday, there should not be:
- the fact that the birthday girl is not entirely clear;
- hurts the feelings of an elderly lady;
- causes her unpleasant associations.
Usually, guests at such anniversaries are familiar with the hero of the occasion, are related to her or are in a relationship with her relatives.
Relatives should avoid excessive care or guardianship in the text, especially for children and grandchildren. And those who are not personally acquainted with the birthday girl need to do without excessive penetration and enthusiasm, making a polite and restrained speech. Familiar and girlfriends of the ladies should not emphasize their own proximity to the birthday girl and publicly indulge in memories if the culprit of the holiday does not begin to do this.
What to consider when choosing a congratulation text?
Congratulations on a woman’s 70th birthday should take into account her lifestyle in the first place. At an elegant age, women are very different. They can be old ladies, visiting theaters or traveling, actively caring for their appearance and following fashion. And they can be ordinary, familiar to the perception of grandmothers, fiddling with grandchildren and baking pies. They may have a hobby, for example, a summer residence or walking. Or they can watch TV from morning until night and go only to the market and the clinic. They can drink tea with friends and communicate with neighbors or be completely lonely.
Such nuances must be taken into account. After all, what is appropriate to say for a traditional grandmother, is absolutely not suitable for an active elderly lady.
Secondly, you need to consider the state of health of the birthday girl. Congratulations on the 70th anniversary of a woman who wish health and many happy years will not be entirely appropriate for the anniversary of a woman dying of oncology or having suffered a stroke. In such a situation, it is better not to touch on the topics of health and longevity.
How short should I congratulate?
A date such as 70 years does not imply either excessive brevity or excessive length. Congratulations should be comfortable to read.
Of course, the congratulatory speech accompanying the presentation of the gift should be different from what is said at the table. A short congratulations on the 70th anniversary of the woman is appropriate only at the table, that is, when making a toast, but only if the table-talk does not sound in the Caucasian style.
What to say to the children?
To relatives, paradoxically, it is usually more difficult to congratulate a birthday girl than to outsiders. This is due to the fact that loved ones often put excessive care and guardianship in their words, which is not entirely appropriate for celebrating a birthday.
Congratulation to a woman on her 70th birthday, sincere and heartfelt, will certainly touch an elderly lady, but it should not humiliate her at the same time. That is, relatives need to remember that in front of them is a woman. Beautiful, elegant, joyful, celebrating her holiday. And not the grandmother who recently forgot to turn off the gas, lost her pension, or for whom half of the assortment is purchased on a monthly basis at a local pharmacy. Caring for a birthday girl on her anniversary should not be intrusive, as well as courting her. And even more so inappropriate reflection of the presence of guardianship in the words of congratulations.
Example of congratulations on the 70th anniversary of a woman from children:
“Our beloved mother! Today is a wonderful day that has set us before an insoluble question. The question is, what can you wish for one that has it all? You have us - your children. There are grandchildren who adore you. There is a whole life full of bright and interesting moments.
We thought for a very long time. But they didn’t find anything that you no longer had. Therefore, our dear mother! Let there be more of all that is already there! Even more love, light, kindness and fun! And we will do everything to make it happen.
And we, your children, also want to wish you that day that we don’t know about. May that which you would like and that which you are not telling anyone come true. May all your desires and dreams come true! Happy holiday to you, mother! ”
For the congratulations accompanying the gift, you should not take the finished text, no matter how beautiful it is. Firstly, one of the guests present can prepare the same text, and secondly, your own words always differ from the memorized ones. They sound differently, and it is noticeable. Ready, liked congratulations should be taken as a basis and write your own, based on an example.
What to say to adult grandchildren?
The way the congratulatory speech from the grandchildren comes out depends on their age. A woman in her 70s may have practically adult grandchildren and those who still go to kindergarten.
Sometimes this moment is played out, and adults, using children's surroundings, read poems that they once told grandmother. For example, on the first conscious New Year or on the far birthday of the birthday girl. This is the only version of humor acceptable on any anniversary, of course, if the lady does not take such a joke as a hint of anything. But usually suspiciousness is not so developed.
It is also appropriate from grandchildren to congratulate a woman on her 70th birthday in poetry without a "journey into the past." Adult poem example:
“Those years have already passed
When poems were read to you.
We were put on a chair then
And we - why - did not understand.
Today is a glorious anniversary.
And I want to remember a lot.
See the children in us again.
And we will talk about the road.
The road is your life.
Let there be no bumps on her.
And if that - we will help,
Wishing you never to cry.
Wish this good afternoon
Smiles sea, sky - happiness.
And let your life not know
Not a shadow of grief, nor bad weather.
We congratulate you from the bottom of our hearts,
Giving you, of course, roses.
And let the flowers not fade.
And on the eyelashes there will be only joyful tears. ”
What to say to little grandchildren?
Congratulations on the 70th anniversary of a woman in verses from little grandchildren can be less pathos and contain humor. If the child is not alone, then both should read.
An example of such a congratulation:
“Today is a holiday, an anniversary.
Probably a big date.
We kept repeating from the door
What mom and dad told me to say.
But we forgot all the words.
And we want to wish for ourselves,
To be kind, as now - always,
Beautiful and not at all strict.
We love you the most.
With you, we share all the secrets.
You are the main friend.
And may the summer always last in your life. ”
When choosing a poem or prose text for a child, one should take into account his artistry and willingness to speak in public. If the baby is shy, resists or even cries, you do not need to force him. A poem told by a child from under a stick will not bring joy to both the birthday girl and those around her.
What to say to the guests?
If the guest is not closely acquainted with the birthday girl, then it is worthwhile to limit yourself to a beautiful but restrained congratulation. An example of a 70th birthday greetings to a woman from guests:
“Dear (name)! Today is a very important and joyful day - the day of your anniversary. Congratulations and this modest bouquet, and let me wish you all the best that can be in life. In everything. In the weather - let the sun shine above your head. In everyday life - let the economy argue on its own. In life - let only pleasant people who are sincerely related to you surround you. Happy holiday, dear (name)! ”
What to tell friends?
As a rule, it is not difficult for relatives and friends of the birthday girl to extemp a congratulation on her 70th birthday to a woman in prose or in verse. After all, no one knows better than girlfriends a birthday girl. With a person close in spirit, you can share what you can’t tell neither to children, nor even to grandchildren.
But very often girlfriends and just close people worry or don’t want to speak simply, wanting to somehow highlight their speech. Therefore, you can prepare in advance, taking as a basis a congratulation on the 70th anniversary of a woman in prose, for example, in the Caucasian style:
“There lived a young eagle. He flew a lot and rarely visited his native nest. Once other eagles told him:
- A thousand years will pass, who will be next to you?
“I don’t want to live to be a thousand years old,” the eagle answered, “It’s even scary to imagine.” I will always be young.
The eagles shook their heads and said nothing.
1000 years passed - and the eagle remained young. His soul still hovered over the mountains and plains, and his grandchildren became keen eyes, children became strong wings.
And the eagle remembered how he thought many years ago and was afraid of old age. He grinned and spread his wings, flew over the nesting and did not feel heaviness. Because his children supported him. And their grandchildren supported them. Great-grandchildren also ascended to heaven. And the eagle flew in the same way as a thousand years ago.
So may your wings never weaken, dear (name). May your grandchildren always be with you - keen eyes. And not far off are the great-grandchildren, whom you will grow up, giving them all the accumulated wisdom. All of them are your youth, which is always with you. Happy Birthday!".
How to congratulate beautifully?
A beautiful congratulation on a woman’s 70th birthday is not only words, but also a bouquet of flowers. Flowers help make speech more attractive. Of course, if it is not about toasts, but about those words that are pronounced when presenting a presentation.
In order for the speech to sound beautiful, it is important not only to choose the words, but also to rehearse the congratulations several times. This is necessary because words read to oneself and spoken aloud sound completely different.
Beautiful congratulations can be prosaic, spoken in simple words, or poetic. When choosing, you need to build on the preferences of the birthday girl herself. Not everyone loves poetry or considers Caucasian parables to be beautiful. However, the majority of elderly ladies understand lyric verses under the term “beautiful congratulations”.
An example of a beautifully sounding 70th birthday greetings to a woman in verse:
“Not a dozen have been exchanged.
But it doesn’t suit you to count the year.
Let the fall colors bright starfall.
After all, autumn is a revived spring.
All in gold, scarlet and frost.
Beautiful and cheerful, and fun.
Fly with a motley cape
Today is the past year.
After all, “70” is only just the middle.
And there is still so much beauty ahead.
Let the weather and the bend not touch
All that you touch. "
How to talk at the table?
Toasts delivered at the anniversary must meet all the same conditions as a regular congratulatory speech, but be shorter. However, utterances from a few words, for example, for health, are not permissible at such a holiday.
A good toast should contain:
- appeal to the birthday girl;
- a brief mention of the occasion of the celebration;
- wish list;
- call for raising glasses.
The duration of the speech depends on the type of celebration. In the family circle, with 8-10 guests, toasts can be much longer than at a banquet with a hundred guests. The optimal for serious anniversaries is considered to be a duration of 3-4 minutes.
What else to look for?
Not without reason, most of the organizers of the holidays arrange preliminary rehearsals and runs with the obligatory voiceovers of congratulations. Especially when it comes to large events with a large number of guests.
This must be done while preparing for the congratulations of an elderly lady. Speech should be well-trained. That is, the words must be pronounced clearly and clearly. The birthday girl should not strain, trying to understand what exactly the guest says.
Speech should not be too fast. No need to chatter. An elderly lady is not obliged to try to keep up with the words of congratulations. But stretching the words is also not necessary. Speech should be unhurried, clear and intelligible. If necessary, emphasize the semantic emphasis of what has been said, pause.
These are very important points for the success of the congratulations. If there is no one to help in the preparation, that is, to listen as a spectator and point out defects, then you can use the recorder and analyze yourself.
Anniversary at 70 is an important and status date. On such a holiday you can’t run “along the way”, say something, give a bouquet of flowers and rush on. It is necessary to prepare for it, even if acquaintance with the birthday girl is not particularly close.
