84 Beautiful Birthday Wishes

Turning a year older always stirs up something a little different for each of us. Some people love the attention and the cake, others quietly want the day to pass with just a cozy dinner or maybe a phone call or two. There’s no “one right way” to celebrate a birthday, which is exactly why the words you share can mean so much.

Sometimes it’s a text, sometimes a card or just a quick message scribbled on a sticky note, but the way you put it makes a difference. I think we’ve all had that moment of staring at a blank card thinking, what do I even write here? That’s where having a little pile of ideas comes in handy.

I put together a bunch of beautiful birthday wishes that actually sound like something you’d really say. Sweet ones, funny ones and personalized ones based on relationship.
