How to write a better birthday wish

Frequently asked questions

What can I write instead of just "Happy birthday"?

Add one line about the person: what you admire, a shared memory or a wish for their year. "Happy birthday, Sam! Here's to a year of new adventures" already feels warmer.

Are these birthday wishes free to use?

Yes. All wishes are original and free to use in messages, cards and posts.
