### Make It Personal
These messages are a great starting point, but the real power of your "wish you were here" flash mob will come from personalization. Tweak a phrase to include an inside joke, a shared memory, or a special nickname. The goal is to create a moment so uniquely "you" that the person on the other end of the screen feels the immense love, effort, and care that went into it. Now go on and create a memory that will be talked about for years to come
