Get well wishes always make anyone feel better. They feel cared about, and a little laughter (when it’s appropriate) can go a long way too. It’s always a good idea to send out a Get Well Soon card.

And to make someone feel even better, all you have to do is write your own get well soon wishes: the cards you send out have so much more meaning that way. 

With over 15,000 ready-to-use cards, our online card making service makes it quick and easy to send out cards when someone is sick or in hospital. Or you might choose to add your own photos on the card: if you haven’t created a customised card with our service yet, you don’t know how incredibly easy it is!

The challenge is what to write in a Get Well Soon card. If you find this difficult, you’re not alone. It’s not always easy to find the right words. We're here to help! 

Below are examples of Get Well wishes: some touching, some funny. Make sure you think it through – if humour is appropriate or not in the given situation. If it is appropriate, laughter can be the best medicine.

Examples of Get Well Soon Card Wishes:

1. I wish you were feeling better so we could spend time together. I look forward to your fast, full recovery.
2. I pray you will be fully healed, and that you receive all the encouragement and comfort you need.
3. Don’t get well soon. Get well now!
4. I’ve come down with something: I'm sick of you being sick!
5. We miss you very much, so get well soon.
6. We wish you a quick and full recovery. It’s not the same here without you.
7. Being in hospital is no fun. We hope you’re out in no time. Get well soon. We love you.

Get Well Soon Message Words:

You can also create get well wishes by reading over a list of common get well soon words. Remember: your own words will have so much more meaning to your sick loved one, so your own get well message will make them feel even better.

Words from the following list can be put together to create your personalised get well wish. These are some common words used in Get Well Soon cards:

comfort, peace, heal, healing, pray, praying, hope, spirits, chicken soup, love, warmth, caring, wishing, sending, strength, thoughts, wishes, better, recovery, recover, sorry, ill, sick, better, well, soon, find, God, faith, grant

Just choose the words that appeal to you the most, and see what comes out. E.g. "God, love, strength, sick, sending, grant, pray" can become:

"I’m sorry to hear you are sick. I pray that God will grant you strength at this time. I am sending you my love."
