This is the ultimate guide to birthday wishes (well almost).
Also, if you wanna send something other than a super simple “Happy birthday” message, then I’d say that’s a pretty good idea.
I mean, letting someone know you’re thinking about them on their birthday in a very thoughtful way is always gonna be better.
And there are so many reasons why you’d probably want to get more creative and mindful with your birthday messages:
- You want to become someone who is intentionally caring for others and making them feel special.
- You want to strengthen your bond with a close friend, family member, or your significant other.
- You don’t wanna just send a normal birthday wish every year; you wanna send something they’ll (actually) remember. 🤷♀️
But whatever your reason, I honestly think it’s always a good idea to try out new (and more meaningful) ways to give birthday wishes.
So if you’re looking for happy birthday quotes, happy birthday wishes for love, or even happy birthday wishes for a friend, I think this list has got you covered. 👍

How to Write Birthday Messages
To write a good birthday message, it’s very important to think about what this person means to you and remind them of why they’re so important. This special day is a reminder to you and to them of the fact that they’re in this world, and that’s a very good thing. You want them to know that you’re glad that they’re here.
Also, here are some great tips for writing a great birthday message:
- Be Sincere: Birthday messages don’t have to be long in order to be meaningful. As long as you’re showing them that you’re happy to have them in your life and to be in theirs, it’s honestly enough.
- Make Sure It’s About Them: Focus on making your birthday wish about them and making them feel thought of. What is it about them that you really love? How can you make their day just that much better?
- Be Willing to Keep It Brief: Sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming to respond to every message you get on your birthday. And if you know that they already have a big day ahead of them + a lot of people already messaging them, keep it brief but thoughtful!
While sending birthday wishes or a card seems pretty easy, sometimes you want it to be a bit more thought out.
And I really hope these ideas help you; I want these birthday messages to be something you’d actually wanna send.
So try some of these and let me know how it goes! I’d love to hear!
PS – What’s a birthday message you love sending to others? I’d like to know!
