About Greetings Day

Who runs Greetings Day, what the blog covers, how articles are researched and checked, and how to reach the people who write them.

The short version

Greetings Day is a blog, and the line under the logo, What to write, for every occasion, is the whole editorial brief. New articles go up when they are ready, and everything we have published stays available in the blog archive.

This site grew out of a spreadsheet. Mira Caldwell had been tracking what to write for every occasion for years, mostly to stop repeating the same mistakes, and it turned out other people wanted the same answers.

The people

Every article carries the name of the person who wrote it, and every name links to a page listing everything else they have written.

Mira Caldwell, Greetings editor. Mira has spent years helping people say the hard and happy things, and writes about finding the right words when your mind goes blank.

Theo Rowan, Holidays and traditions. Theo writes about the customs behind holidays and celebrations, and how to greet people across different occasions and cultures.

Ava Lindholm, Etiquette and tone. Ava focuses on the etiquette of messages, how tone, length, and wording change what a greeting actually conveys.

What we do not do

What we do not do is predict outcomes. Nothing about what to write for every occasion works that way, and pages that pretend otherwise are selling something.

How this is put together

The method is dull and it works. Explain what happens, explain what it costs, explain what can go wrong, then stop writing.

We buy what we write about. It is slower, it is more expensive, and it is the only arrangement that lets us say a thing was not worth it.

If you want the mechanics rather than the summary, the editorial policy has them, including what we refuse to publish.

Where the articles sit

  • Birthdays. Birthday wishes and card wording for every age and relationship.
  • Holidays. Holiday and seasonal greetings that do not sound like a template.
  • Celebrations. Words for weddings, new babies, graduations, and milestones.
  • Messages. How to word a message with the right tone, warmth, and length.
  • Thank You. Thank-you notes and messages that feel genuine, not obligatory.
  • Condolences. Sympathy and condolence messages that comfort rather than fill space.
  • Games. Video games and gaming, from what we play to how games connect to the rest of life.

One article, one topic. It keeps the category pages usable, and in practice birthdays, holidays and celebrations are where most readers end up.

Corrections

Tell us which line is wrong and why, at info@greetingsday.site or through the contact page. Small errors are corrected the same week. Anything that changes the advice gets a dated note at the bottom of the article.
