Embarrassing mistake on birthday card

A bloke thought he’d made his girlfriend a ‘perfect’ birthday card — but forgot one very crucial thing.

Ryan Smith assured girlfriend Laura McKay he had made her a ‘good one’ this year after she complained about him sending her cards late on her past two birthdays.

The lad spent time adding in lots of personal snaps of the couple’s relationship together into a collage on card company website, Moonpig.

But when long-suffering Laura opened up the card she was surprised to find it addressed to ‘Georgia’.

Ryan — who Laura admits lacks common sense — had forgotten to change the template name on the card from ‘Georgia’ to ‘Laura’.

Laura thought she’d missed a joke and asked: “Are you kidding?”

Right SO Ryan’s just came in with my birthday card (1 day late let me tell u) and he’s been concentrating so hard on the f***ing pictures the c**ts forgot to CHANGE the writing,” Laura wrote on Twitter.

“Who the F**K is Georgia?”

She eventually understood what happened and thankfully saw the funny side of things.
