Add Kannada Messages or Birthday Wishes with Stylish Fonts
- Choose a bold, festive font for birthday messages like “Namagededdu Shubhashayagalu” (Birthday Wishes) in Kannada or “Happy Birthday!” in English. Recommended Kannada fonts: Nudi, Tunga, or Lohit Kannada; for English, try Bubblegum Sans, Pacifico, or Birthday Wish.

Use vibrant color gradients (e.g., pink-to-gold, blue-to-silver) and apply subtle sparkle or confetti effects to the text. Keyframe animations can make the text bounce or zoom in sync with the audio’s upbeat moments, while a slight outline or shadow ensures readability against colorful backgrounds, creating a polished, namagededdu look
