I received an email from a reader asking if there were any birthday cards in the Subscribers Resource Library for “friends”. I realized I not only didn’t have any birthday cards for friends, but I didn’t have any birthday cards.

How could I have NOT shared printable birthday cards before? Well, I had to rectify that problem. I actually ended up creating a few cards. This is the first and I’m sharing it with you today.

Social Distancing Birthday Cards

In light of the fact that we are all participating in social distancing these days in an effort to slow down and combat COVID-19, I thought it appropriate to add some sentiments to the card that reflected that fact.

Prior to the pandemic of 2020, to say “even when we’re apart” had a completely different meaning that what it does now that we’re practicing social distancing.

I mean, who even heard of the term “social distancing” prior to all this craziness?

Happy Birthday to a Dear Friend Printable Birthday Cards

This free set of printable birthday cards read:

“For a dear friend. Happy Birthday! Even when we’re apart, you’ll always be one of my dearest friends.”

The birthday cards are blank on the inside so you have plenty of room to write a personal note. There are two cards per sheet and they are approximately 4-1/4″x5-1/2″ and fit nicely in an A2 sized envelope. By the way, one of the nice things about the Avery Printable Note Cards is that they come with envelopes.
