Where do I write in a greeting card?

Nothing to do with anything science, but hoping someone might help me out here... The printed text inside a greeting card is almost always in the middle of the right side. Particularly when the text is the punchline to the joke on the front of the card, should I keep all of my own writing below the text, leaving a huge space at the top...or write both above and below the text and risk distracting the reader's attention from the punchline? I could possibly write on the left side of the card, but it doesn't seem quite right to me.
...or am I just thinking about this too much?
What do you guys think?

If you want to write your own message, it might be better to use a card that does not have its own message in it (it is not that difficult to find cards without any message).

It depends on how much you want to write. If its very long, then by all means write on the left side of the card.
If it's just a few lines, write it just below the text on the inside of the card.
.....and yes, you're overthinking it. [

I always write on the RHS. I put the 'TO' bit above the text and the 'FROM' bit under the text. If it is a joke card people will naturally ignore your bit until they have laughed themselves silly at the amazing wit of these people that are employed to make card jokes. How can I get a job like that. It sounds like a doss to me.

Lol alrighty. Thank you everyone! I did realise I was overthinking it...but that still didn't bring me any closer to deciding where to write.
Anyway, I've gone with putting everything under the text on the RHS.
