How to give a “delicious” poster

Arrange a surprise. Just leave the poster you made with chocolates and do-it-yourself inscriptions for your loved one in a visible place. The recipient will find the gift himself.
If you plan to give a gift during the feast, then present the poster when everyone is assembled. Let the hero of the occasion read out the wishes himself. Such a gift can be made in advance together with all guests.
Surprise in delivery. Ask a friend to play the messenger and deliver the gift. Or you can order delivery. This is especially true if the recipient does not live nearby, and you do not have the opportunity to congratulate him personally. Usually packages intrigue people when they are not expecting them.

Before you go for another postcard with a standard and impersonal wish, think that a person will be more pleased not with a quick purchase, but with a gift made with love especially for him.

Tips and tricks

When making your own holiday poster, you can take into account useful tips and recommendations from people who already have extensive experience in this area:

Choose (insider) jokes, phrases that, as a rule, are understandable only to a narrow circle of “insiders”. From this, the congratulation acquires exclusivity and a certain piquancy.
In the design, use lines from the favorite songs of the person being congratulated, excerpts and quotes from your favorite books and authors.
It would be appropriate to place on the wall newspaper frames from your favorite films, cartoons (for kids), as well as photographs of countries and places on the planet where the “hero of the occasion” would like to go (wishing that this would come true).
Making a poster in a photo editor and then printing it will always be original. The finished material will look great against a bright background.
For those who like to create themselves, making appliques or drawings with their own hands to congratulate loved ones is always a chance to express their feelings. A loved one will definitely appreciate a unique congratulation, be pleased and grateful.
When designing a poster to congratulate a boy, they often use a “superhero” theme - the boys really like it, and the girl is impressed by the image of her as a “princess”.
Use a special greeting style, including foreign words, a super-official address (like from the president) to make you laugh, as well as coded words and encryption, even Morse code.

A poster should contain enough information, but a poster that is too busy can become boring.

When choosing to congratulate a loved one using a holiday poster, it is important to adhere to the theme of the celebration and use elements, templates, and congratulations that will evoke joyful and enthusiastic emotions in the person being congratulated. In this case, the holiday will definitely be a success, and pleasant memories will remain in the memory for a long time.
