FAQ

What is the best way to wish someone a happy birthday?

A birthday is a special occasion, and everyone likes to receive a birthday wish on their special day! When writing a birthday wish, it’s important to think about the recipient of your message. Birthday wishes for friends and coworkers will be different from birthday wishes for significant others of course. If you’re writing your birthday wish for an acquaintance or coworker, try to write a message that is personal, but not too familiar. Keep it simple and lighthearted, and keep your wishes for the future general and pleasant. If you’re writing for your significant other or a close friend, you have more free rein to be creative and personal with your message. Think about inside jokes, shared experiences, or goals they have for the coming year, and try to mention them in your birthday wish. As long as your birthday wish comes from the heart, you can’t go wrong with your happy birthday wish. If you’re still having trouble thinking of a birthday wish to write, check out our birthday wishes for some ideas and inspiration!

What’s a unique way to wish someone a happy birthday?

There are a million ways you can wish someone a happy birthday, but the absolute best and most personalized way to wish someone a happy birthday is by sending a card! Cards are a great way to show someone that you’re thinking about them and that you put a little bit extra thought and effort into wishing them a happy birthday. Cards are also a great way to add your own special and unique touch to your happy birthday wish, much more than you could with words alone. That said, the words themselves are the most important part! When writing a birthday card, it’s important to think about the recipient of your message and find the right tone to match your relationship with them. If you’re close with the person, start by telling them how much you love and care about them, and then include a personal message. You can include inside jokes, shared memories, or personal wishes for the future. If you’re not very close with the person, a simple happy birthday wish will be your best bet. Don’t forget to include your own personal touch, and to make sure that your birthday wish is genuine and comes from the heart.

What’s the best way to make someone feel special on their birthday?

Making someone feel special on their birthday starts with the right birthday wish – one that makes them feel valued, loved, and appreciated on their special day. When writing a birthday wish to someone you care about, remember that today is about them! Speak from the heart, and let them know how important they are to you. Don’t be afraid to get too sappy or personal; in fact, the more heartfelt your message is, the better. Let them know how much they mean to you, how much you value them as a person, and all the wonderful things you think about them. Reminisce about fun memories you've shared, and let them know how much you love spending time with them. As long as you remember to keep the focus on them, you can’t go wrong with a genuine, heartfelt birthday wish to make them feel loved and appreciated.
