Sending warm ASL greetings in sign language is a beautiful way to connect, encourage, and celebrate with Deaf and hard-of-hearing friends and family. Whether you’re signing a quick hello on a video message, writing a caption for an interpreted post, or delivering a heartfelt wish in person, the right words (and signs) can uplift spirits, strengthen bonds, and mark important moments.
