If you are here, then, unlike the other people who are naturally gifted to know what exactly to write on a birthday card, you find it a tad difficult. Fortunately, we are here specifically to help with that. We have been able to put together a collective range of birthday messages and tips together with a few inspiring examples to get you on the go.
The following are various categories of people you are possibly writing to and what to write for them;
- Birthday wishes for a friend-
For a friend, you are looking to be as flexible, humorous, and personal as possible. You would also want to make it a handmade greeting card just to have that personal effect.
Examples:
- “I hope this brightens your day, as you’ve always brightened mine”.
- “Happy birthday to the best person anyone could ever wish for”.
- For a spouse or relationship partner-
It might prove a little difficult trying to describe how much your significant other means to you. So, regardless of you’re married or you’re dating, all you should want to put in the card is something that sounds like you. Using your private pet names, writing about memories, using paper flower decoration, you just want to be as real as possible while being sweet and funny also.
Examples:
- “I still remember the very first time we looked into each other’s eyes and said the words ‘I love you’… because I feel the exact same way, even today. Thank you for that and happy birthday, my love.”
- “Thank you for being you and for being mine. Happy birthday.”
- “Happy birthday to [Jason], the [boy] who stole my heart.”
- For a sibling or relation-
These are the people who grew up with you and you still will have more years to send and receive birthday cards. You can be very flexible here and write long memories or short comments, just let them know you are proud of them and you care.
Examples:
- “I know of no other person that can be a dork and a sweetheart at the same time, but, that’s how you are, one in a trillion. Happy birthday [bro].”
- “Happy birthday to a girl who has brought me countless scars but endless smiles. I love you.”
- For a parent or a child-
It’s important to tell our parents or children just how much we care, even though they already know. You simply need to express gratitude and make them feel special.
Examples:
- “Some people don’t believe in superheroes, that’s because they haven’t met you [dad]”.
- “My baby is plus one today. Don’t worry I haven’t forgotten your age…I hope”.
- Belated, milestone and funny birthday messages-
Examples
- “It’s not that I forgot or anything it’s just that I didn’t want to limit your birthday celebration to just a single day. So sweet of me right? Well, you’re worth it.”
- “Congratulations on turning [30, 40, 50…] and still looking like a teenager”.
You could just take one of the examples and make use of it or read through the tips, added with a mix of the examples to create the custom birthday message for your birthday person making use of handmade greeting cards and paper flower decorations if desired.
