For my daughter’s birthday, as part of a sponsored post by Collective Bias®, I need your help choosing the perfect Hallmark card! For more information read my Full Disclosure.
Time – there is never enough. I catch myself hurrying the day along so I can finish all my tasks. All the while, missing precious moments and opportunities to share heart-felt conversations.
And my little Audrey is turning 6 so soon! Her past 5 birthdays happened in a whirlwind, as I raced to pull something off last-minute. Then flash! It was over and I felt a little guilty knowing I could have done a better job planning . Well, this year is going to be different. This birthday will be one Audrey remembers for the rest of her life! That is why I’m getting an early start and asking for your help choosing a perfect card.
I’m going to start with choosing the perfect card, write my top 10 Birthday Wishes to her in it and take a full day to cherish the precious time I have with my lovely little lady.
10 Happy Birthday Wishes…
1. That you will love the Lord with all your heart, and all your soul, and all your might.
2. That you’ll never lose your love of dance.
3. That Daddy will always be your first love.
4. Your sister will always be your best friend.
5. You’ll never obsess over the way you look.
6. You’ll always present yourself as a lady.
7. You’ll find someone to marry who loves God more than you do.
8. That you’ll forgive me for all the times I’ve postponed our play dates.
9. That you will be blessed with many children.
10. That you’ll grow up to be more than I could ever be!
That’s what I want to put in the card. Now which one should I choose? It took me almost an hour to pick out a few Hallmark cards from the huge selection at Walmart. You can view my whole shopping experience in my Google+ Photo Album.
Birthday Card Choices
Hallmark has so many beautiful cards! It was really hard to pick. Since this is a special occasion, I didn’t pay any attention to the price and grabbed about 10 cards that I really liked. Slowly, I eliminated them and was left with these 3.
1. Rainbow Birthday Card with “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” Song.
2. God’s Thoughts of You
3. To My Beautiful Daughter with detachable bookmark.
I love all these cards! Each one is so unique. You can see why I need help. So, which one do you like the best? Here they are again…
Please leave a comment to help me pick out the perfect birthday card for my daughter and tell me a wish you have for your little girl.
Don’t forget to like me on Facebook and Follow me on Pinterest to see which Hallmark card wins!
I vote for #1! I’m a sucker for rainbows … and I think it’s the most appropriate one for a 6 year old! I hope all her birthday wishes come true!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I love the song #1 plays too 🙂
I love #2.
Me too! That is my favorite. We’ll see who wins 🙂
I personally love the warmth of the rainbow card for a little girl to brighten her special day 🙂
Oh I LOVE Hallmark! I really love the first one with the cloud that folds out! I love any card that encourages kids to dream BIG!
Blessings!

I’m going with 1 because it’s the song from one of my fav. movies and I sing it a lot to my own little girl.
A wish I have for my daughter? That she grows up knowing that beauty comes from within.

I like #1.
I love the bright colours, the freshness and promises of the rainbow. And childrena are fascinated with where the music comes from in musical cards. It will also give Audrey music to dance to.
I didn’t even think of that! You are so right.
I love card number two. Actually all the cards are wonderful.

I also love the rainbow card! Super cute for a little girl.
#3– Of course, I’m a big fan of bookmarks for kids!! Can my wish be for a daughter? 😉
Of course! I hope you get your wish 🙂
Oh my.. I just love love love all of these cards. The messages are just perfect, but I would choose #1 because I can’t get over how adorable that is!

#1! I think she will love that it plays music. One of my wishes for Kate is that she never loses her joy of seeing mommy after time apart.
I loved this post!!! I am sharing on my daughter’s wall your list of wishes. The cards are adorable and so special. Thank you for this!
I think #2 is sweet, more meaningful
I pick #1, so sweet 🙂
I can’t wait to see which card you pick out!!!

I found it interesting how you mentioned how a birthday card for a young girl should reflect her special occasion. My granddaughter is turning six soon and we want to make sure she has the best birthday possible. We will be sure to keep this in mind as we search for a birthday card that fits her personality!
wow, these are amazing cards, so colorful. I’m sure these can make wonderful memories while hanging on wall
