Get Well Soon Messages & Wishes

Comforting words for someone on the mend.

Wishing someone a speedy recovery is a custom far older than the printed greeting card — ancient Egyptians sent messages of healing on papyrus, and in China handwritten scrolls called Zengbu were exchanged with the sick to wish them well. The sentiment hasn't changed much since: a short, sincere message can matter more than the medium it arrives in. Browse Messages or send someone Wishes while they recover.

Different cultures still put their own spin on the gesture — red is used in Chinese tradition as a color associated with good luck and recovery, for instance. Whether you're writing a card, a text or a quick note, the Status collection has short lines for a social update or WhatsApp message.
