80+ Birthday Wishes For Your Loved Ones

Thoughtful birthday wishes message for friends, coworkers, cousins, nephews and more.

Getting older isn’t everyone’s favourite topic to think about. If this sounds like you, you might not look forward to your birthday—and many people don’t. However, a message from a loved one can turn the entire day around. After all, we all want to know that people are thinking about us on our special day.

But what happens when you need to send a birthday message? For some, coming up with something is natural; for others, not so much. But whether you’re looking for a quick text to send a coworker or a longer, more thoughtful message to put on your spouse’s birthday card, finding the right birthday greeting can be tricky.

As you begin to craft the perfect happy birthday wishes, think about all the ones people have sent you throughout the years. Were there any that stuck with you or were thoughtful? What made the message so memorable? If your memory fails you, it’s time to get creative and research.

Aside from your typical “over the hill” jokes, there are hundreds of ways to wish someone a happy birthday. This list has a birthday wish for just about anyone in your life, from family members to coworkers.
