Half a century is usually celebrated with family round a big table or at a restaurant, and the card should look the part: a large 50 in gold, calm lettering and plenty of space. A motif from their life also works well, such as the garden, the hills they walk or a favourite record, drawn in muted colours.
A 50th birthday card is often signed by several people, from the children and grandchildren to the whole department at work. In that case choose A5 and add a back with room for signatures.

Elegant 50th birthday card: colours and style
Elegance on a card is mostly restraint: two colours, one decorative typeface for the number and a calm one for the message. In the design wizard, write something like: black background, gold 50, thin border, no confetti. A card like this suits a family party as much as a milestone at work.
- For her: gold with blush pink, watercolour flowers and delicate lettering.
- For him: navy or graphite with silver and a motif from his hobby, such as mountains, sailing or chess.
- From a company: muted colours, the logo as a separate layer and a formal tone.
What to write in a 50th birthday card
A milestone deserves more than a standard Happy Birthday. Mention something they have achieved or something that makes them who they are, then add one wish for the years ahead. From a company, two or three sentences signed with the team name are enough.
If the card is going to a party with lots of guests, add a back with blank space for signatures and print it in A5 at a local print shop or copy shop. The same elegant style works for a 60th or a 70th: just type the age.
