Congratulations on the 60th anniversary of the woman should correspond to the date of the anniversary, but at the same time not be pompous, pathos or impersonal and official.
In addition, when choosing or composing a congratulatory text, one must take into account that the words are addressed to the woman, which means that they must be beautiful and sincere.
What can be congratulations?
Almost everyone will answer this question without hesitation that birthday greetings to a woman on her 60th birthday, like on any other anniversary, can be prosaic or poetic.
This is certainly true. But in addition to dividing into rhymed and prosaic, texts of congratulations can be:
- accompanying;
- independent.
The first includes words that accompany something, such as flowers or a present. They can be pronounced upon delivery of a gift or a bouquet, or written on a postcard. The second type includes congratulatory speeches delivered without presenting gifts; these can be toasts, SMS, a postcard sent by mail, and so on.
What accompanies the words present or is an independent speech influences the style and duration of how a congratulation on a woman’s 60th birthday is drawn up. Beautiful short texts are usually placed on small notes in floral bouquets, and long speeches are delivered at the festive table.
What to write or say?
Oddly enough, but many people, taking a pen and unfolding a postcard or preparing to make a draft of their banquet speech, suddenly realize that they don’t know what exactly and how to say it.
Good texts of congratulations on the 60th anniversary of a woman, regardless of whether they are short or long, prosaic or not, accompanying a presentation or pronounced in a toast, must meet a number of requirements. Congratulations must contain:
- appeal to the birthday girl;
- introductory part;
- mention of the celebrated date;
- wishes;
- conclusion.
In conclusion, during a table speech, a call is made to raise glasses, and when writing congratulatory words in a postcard, a signature is used.
Are SMS appropriate?
For some reason, many people believe that it is not necessary to send congratulatory messages to SMS or MMS to a birthday girl celebrating such a solid anniversary. However, this is not quite true. Ladies at an elegant age are completely different. They can drive a car, travel, use the most modern gadgets, play online games and spend evenings on social networks. And they can be “traditional” ordinary grandmothers baking pies, going to the country, fiddling with grandchildren, spending leisure time in clinics or at the entrance and watching TV in the evenings.
That is, the appropriateness of whether to send a short congratulations on the 60th birthday to a woman by electronic message or not to do this depends on the individual characteristics of the birthday girl.
How to write in SMS?
For texts sent in electronic messages, the same rules apply as when writing congratulations in postcards or pronounced directly in the presence of the birthday girl.
As for the length of the message, it is customary to write briefly and in essence. However, when sending congratulations to a woman on her 60th birthday, one should proceed from the degree of closeness to the birthday girl and her personal preferences. That is, a long and beautiful email may be appropriate from a granddaughter or close friend. But it is completely inappropriate, being expelled by a work colleague or a barely familiar person. It is important to consider whether the lady likes to read letters on the monitor or display, or whether they annoy her.
What to write in SMS in prose?
To compose a sincere congratulation on a woman’s 60th birthday, beautiful and full of warmth, for sending in an electronic message, is not as difficult as it seems at first glance.
Congratulation text example:
“Dear (name)! Congratulations on your holiday! I wish you on this special day of miracles and joy, surprises and happiness, good mood and the best holiday in the world! ”
You do not need to put a signature in SMS or a message in messengers, since it is clear who the message is from.
What to write in SMS in verse?
Many people want to send to SMS not just a prosaic text, but a congratulation on the 60th anniversary of a woman in verse. Beautiful and touching lines are quite appropriate for congratulations in messages, but the poem needs to be chosen not long and preferably not from the Internet, because anyone else can send it.
An example of a poetic congratulation:
“(Name), today is the best day.
And even the sun at dawn
Hurry to congratulate.
Anniversary…
Such a date is always welcome.
Let them live for many years
They are still in abundance.
So don't let the sun fade
And in life there will be only happiness. ”
What to say to a colleague?
Congratulations to a colleague on her 60th birthday to a woman (and her workmate at the same time) should be more concise and less emotional than the words that are used by close people to the birthday girl. But excessive officiality is not needed.
Congratulation text example:
“Dear, our dear (name)! Congratulations to all of our team! Such an anniversary is an important event that should be celebrated with a grand scale and joy, which is what we wish for. We also wish you happiness, health and the realization of all your hopes and dreams. Happy holiday, dear (name)! ”
What to say in a prosaic congratulation?
Congratulations on the 60th anniversary of a woman in prose can be no less touching, emotional and spiritual than a poem. Of course, among all the prosaic festive statements, the most popular parables, that is, speeches in the Caucasian style.
An example of a prosaic greeting in the Caucasian style:
“When there was nothing, God got bored and divided the darkness and the light. Then God became bored again, and he created the earth. God missed six times, each of which lasted ten years of human life. For the sixth time, he created people and said: “There will be 120 of their summers.”
What does this mean? Only that our dear (name) today is not one holiday, but two. Yes exactly. Today our birthday girl celebrates exactly half of the time specified by God. But besides this, for the sixth time, God stopped bored. So, 60 is the time for ending all the troubles and boredom. The anniversary, leaving behind all the troubles and hardships and opening a new page in life, filled only with warmth, joy, kindness and love. This is the second reason for celebration.
And since God himself ceased to miss the sixth dozen of the human calendar, then we need to have fun and rejoice on such a day. “Let us raise our glasses and drink for the most beautiful and wise, kind and happy, for ours (name)!”
Congratulations on the 60th anniversary of a woman in prose may be less pathos.
“(Name), you are 60 today. This is a very good number. The science of numerology attributes to this combination of numbers properties such as harmony, wisdom, peace and happiness. So let all this be enough on every day, starting today. Happy holiday, dear (name)! ”
Is humor appropriate?
Congratulations on a woman’s 60th birthday are funny or humorous to a woman only if they are fully convinced that they will please the birthday girl.
Any anniversary, and especially associated with an elegant age, requires respect. This is not combined with practical jokes, jokes and other manifestations of humor in congratulations.
However, this does not mean at all that there is no room for a joke in congratulatory speeches. Congratulations on the 60th anniversary of a woman containing humor can be pronounced by her relatives, relatives and friends. But even their words are not always appropriate during the celebration. At pathos banquets dedicated to the celebration of the anniversary, where a large number of guests are present, humorous greetings are inappropriate. But at a small celebration, at which only close friends and relatives gathered, humor in congratulations is quite acceptable.
The most important thing in such congratulations:
- humor must be kind;
- jokes need to be used understandable to the birthday girl and guests.
Often there are situations when in a joking form the grandchildren congratulate the lady. However, the elderly woman simply does not understand the slang used in the joke, nor the meaning of the joke itself.
How to congratulate with humor?
It is best to use texts that evoke not a laugh, but a smile. They, as a rule, are always understandable and are not able to offend the birthday girl.
An example of humorous congratulations in poetic form:
“Your age, of course, old age.
Use it without shame.
If anything, say: "Not long after all."
And then go to the stove to lie down.
Grandchildren look down with shame
Redo your affairs.
And they will leave you conversations,
On the Internet from night to day.
You listen to this advice,
Wrap yourself on a mustache.
Now find the glasses somewhere
And try your anniversary to taste! ”
For prose humorous greetings, jokes can be used as a basis. An example of such a speech:
“Dear (name)! And you, dear guests! Let's imagine for a moment the quiet Odessa courtyard (pause, until the first laughs at the table). Odessa courtyard can be quiet. After this situation:
- Abrash, and Abrash!
-Yes, Sarochka?
- Now - a verse!
-What to read, Sarochka?
-Abrasha, a verse is a verb. He means - began to observe silence.
(Pause until the guests stop laughing).
So, dear (name)! Let this verb never appear in your vocabulary, and you will see a quiet Odessa courtyard only in a dream! Let noise and din always surround you, because life is never full of silence, it sounds like music! Happy birthday to you, (name), our restless! ”
How to congratulate briefly?
Laconic congratulatory speeches are needed when there are a lot of guests at the festival. Each person is waiting for his turn to turn to the birthday girl, respectively, toasts “merge” among themselves.
In such an atmosphere, the not-so-long text of congratulations on the 60th anniversary of the woman will sound and be remembered in an original way. Short verses or prosaic speech are equally good, but it makes sense to prepare both options. If most guests speak prose, then you need to use the poetic "blank" and, accordingly, vice versa.
An example of a short poetic congratulation:
“You, (name), have passed a stream of days,
Leading to harsh old age.
You are youth with wisdom in one
Put life together in a glass.
Let me raise my glass
For you and your Indian summer,
Red purplish from mirrors
It will light your day in the morning. ”
An example of short prosaic speech:
"(Name)! 60 - the beginning of the fourth quarter of life. Behind is the bulk of adversity, and ahead is only a flat road and a clear sky. And not because the world around us has become different, but because you (name) are already an experienced car driver, whose name is “life”. Therefore, next to you is comfortable and cozy for all of us, guests of this wonderful holiday! Let us drink for you to celebrate with us joyfully and cheerfully! Happy Birthday!"
Do you need postcards?
Congratulations on the 60th anniversary of the woman are not only pronounced aloud, but also written in postcards attached to presentations, or in cards accompanying bouquets of flowers. Unfortunately, most people do not pay special attention to the texts in postcards, believing that this is just a formality, and all the main words will be spoken at the holiday.
This is not entirely true. If there are few guests at the holiday, then each congratulation is really heard by the birthday girl and remembered by her. But if the anniversary is celebrated on a grand scale, for example, a banquet is ordered for 20, 50 or even 100 people, which is not uncommon for a date of 60 years, then the words of congratulations, even the most sincere, merge into one. In such a situation, the text in a postcard or an accompanying flower card becomes extremely important.
You can write a congratulatory text that accompanies a gift or a bouquet in both the prosaic genre and the poem. The main thing in this congratulation:
- handwriting;
- large and clear handwriting;
- even distribution of text on paper.
Visually, the congratulation should be perceived as a whole with a card, postcard, flowers or gift. In this regard, it is easier to first decide what will be written, and only then take a closer look at postcards and cards and choose the right ones in size.
What to write in a card and a card?
An example of a poetic congratulation that accompanies a bouquet of flowers is the following text:
"60 is a fall youth,
This date is just like flowers.
Withering didn’t touch her,
Remain young and you. ”
After the verses, a signature is required, and before them is an appeal by name.
A floral card filled with prosaic text might look like this:
“Dear (name)!
Let these modest flowers decorate your anniversary just like you - this world! (Signature)".
The text in the greeting card accompanying the gift may be longer than what is written in the floral cards.
An example of a poetic greeting in a postcard:
“So I hit the first ten,
Half of the second century.
Only this is no reason to cry.
It's a day so that half a century - down
Directly throw them off your shoulders like fatigue,
Or like a tired shawl.
And live all the years that remain
So that the moment was not a pity. "
Of course, the verse should be addressed by name to the hero of the occasion, and after it put a signature.
Prose greetings in postcards are now used much less often than poems, but they can be no less beautiful. An example of prosaic text:
“Dear (name)! Anniversary is an exceptional event. There have already been many jubilees in your life, there will be more. But there will be no second day of the 60th anniversary. May the holiday become unique, joyful and very happy for you, (name)! Happy Birthday! (Signature)".
