It's "des bises" which is closer to "hugs and kisses". The exact translation would be too romantic for most circumstances. Edit: Beatrix's contributions are absolutely correct. Des bises is a bit brief, internet-type talk. Des bises, Bets

Actually you sign a birthday with a name. Or are you asking for the French translation of Katie.

The French have a number of greetings to end a letter or card. Depends on the relationship. For a friend I would choose one of the following Grosses Bises

When I was studying French we always said, bon anniversaire! We must have wished a lot of people bon anniversaire as I had no trouble remembering it. :) Pam
