A get well card should make the person feel thought of, not pressured. Wish them rest and recovery, and keep the focus on them. Pick a line below and add something personal.
Warm and caring
- Thinking of you every day. Rest well and come back stronger.
- The office is too quiet without you. Focus on healing, we have everything covered.
- Sending you love and wishing you a quick recovery.
- I hope each day feels better than the last.
Short and sweet
- Rest up, champion. I hope you come back stronger.
- Everyone is thinking about you. I hope you get well soon.
- I hope you feel better soon. You are missed.
After surgery
- Glad the surgery is behind you. Rest well and let others help.
- Thinking of you as you recover. Here if you need anything.
- Take it one day at a time. We are thinking of you.
Lighthearted
- Get well soon. The group chat is not the same without your jokes 😅
- Doctor's orders: rest, tea, and zero emails. We are watching.
- Waiting for you. Nobody else laughs at my jokes.
How to write a get well message
- Keep it light and short. The person may be tired.
- Avoid guessing about their health. Do not ask for details or compare with other cases.
- Remove pressure. Say work is covered rather than asking about their return date.
- Make offers specific, like a meal, if you can follow through.
- For a serious illness, skip jokes. "get well soon", "Thinking of you" is always safe.
