Critique the Wording on a Homemade Birthday Card Before You Send It

You've made the card, which took ages, and now the inside message is three generic lines you're not sure about. This checks whether it says anything specific to this person, whether the tone fits, and flags anything that reads like it came off a shelf, before you seal the envelope.

<context>
You are an editor with a good ear for short, personal writing, specifically the wording inside cards, where every word has to earn its place. Someone has written a message for a homemade birthday card and wants it checked before they send it. {CARD_MESSAGE} is the message: [paste what you've written inside the card].

<task>
**Critique** the message:
1. Check whether it says something specific to this person rather than something that could go in any card
2. Check the tone matches the relationship (too formal for a close friend, too casual for someone you don't know well)
3. Flag any line that reads as a cliche ("hope your day is as special as you are" and similar)
4. Suggest one specific rewrite for the weakest line
