Attention point

When using Congratulations, don't forget the plural s. The singular expression Congratulation means "celebration" rather than "congratulations". The image is "congratulations" because there are many "celebrations", but plurals such as Congratulations are called "strong plurals". Plurals used to emphasize meaning, such as Thanks and My apologies are also strong plurals.

Also, if you have a close relationship, we will abbreviate it as " Congrats", but please note that neither Congratulations nor Congrats are used for birthdays and seasonal events.

"Best Wishes" is fortunate in the future!
