Everyday wishes that play
For the messages that matter on an ordinary day.
Some of the best messages are not tied to a date. A thank you, an apology and a well done all land better when they arrive as something to open. On Say Wishes you write a few words, pick a style and share one link, and the person you send it to taps, lights or opens something before they read what you wrote.
Nobody has to download an app or make an account. Every wish has a plain button as well, so it works for anyone on any phone.
Make a wish
These four work on any day of the year. Pick the one that matches what you want to say, then borrow from the ready-made wishes if the words will not come.
Congratulations Tap the spotlight, set off the fireworks and read the good news. Any time of year 
Miss You Join two stars across the distance, then read the love. Any time of year 
Sorry A small bouquet, one question and an honest apology. Any time of year 
Thank You Light three candles, then read the thanks. Any time of year Which one should I pick?
- Thank You: For gratitude. Three candles on a shelf that they tap to light, one by one, until a warm glow fills the card and your thanks appears. Good for friends, family, teachers, hosts and colleagues.
- Sorry: For an apology. A bouquet and one question, “Can we start over?”, with a Yes they can tap and a Maybe later that keeps stepping aside. A quiet card with no confetti, made for saying sorry well.
- Congratulations: For good news. A night sky they tap to set off fireworks, with a finale before your message appears. Good for a new job, a pass, a win or any small victory.
- Miss You: For someone far away. Two stars over two small homes, and a glowing line they drag from one to the other until the stars join and your words appear. Good for a partner, a friend, a parent or a child.
