Birthdays sneak up, don’t they? One day you’re just in the middle of regular life, maybe answering emails or eating dinner or scrolling your phone, and then you suddenly realize your husband’s birthday is around the corner.
Sometimes it feels like, oh I’ll just get a card and write something sweet, but then when you sit down to write, your brain goes totally blank. Like, how do you even fit years of love and inside jokes and all the little things he does into a couple sentences?
It’s kind of overwhelming when you think about it, but also really beautiful because it means there’s so much there to celebrate. The truth is, your words don’t have to be perfect, they just have to feel real.
Below I put together a bunch of birthday wishes you can use, tweak, or just steal outright (I won’t tell). Whether your guy loves sentimental stuff, goofy jokes, or just a quick heartfelt note, there’s something here that’ll work.
