Tips for crafting the best birthday message

Still not sure what to write? Here’s a guide to make sure your birthday message hits just right:

  • If it’s a milestone like turning 21 or 30, use that as the theme. Make jokes about new “responsibilities” or reflect on all they’ve achieved.
  • Be honest—write from the heart. You know your best friend better than anyone, so share why you love them.
  • Mention memories. Bringing up shared moments is always a great start for a birthday message or post.
  • Finally, keep it simple: wish them love, and maybe buy them a drink! It’s always the thought that counts.
