About this card
Meritxell Day is the kind of occasion that benefits from a card you can hold — not a text, not a forwarded image, not a calendar reminder, but something printed on real paper that someone can prop on a shelf or tuck into a book. The verses below were written specifically for Meritxell Day rather than adapted from a general template, so each one carries the right register: warmer where warmth fits, quieter where quiet fits, lighter where the moment can take a smile.
Pick the verse that suits the person you're sending it to. If two feel right, you can use one as the front-of-card line and the other as the inside note. If none feel quite right, scroll down to the related occasions — sometimes a sibling card has exactly the tone you're looking for.
Print at home: these verses fit a standard A2 (4.25×5.5″) folded card or a half-letter (5.5×8.5″) flat card on 80–110 lb cardstock. See the printing guide for layout templates and paper recommendations.

Writing tips for this occasion
If you're adding a personal line of your own beneath the verse, keep it specific. Mention a small thing — a shared memory, a thing you noticed, a way they made you feel last week. Generic compliments slide off the page, but a single concrete detail ("I still think about your tomato sauce," "your handwriting on that birthday list") lands hard and lasts.
Sign with the name they call you, not the name on your driver's license. Cards are intimate; signatures should be too. And if you're mailing it, write the address by hand — the envelope is part of the card.
