Birthday wishes

A birthday is the perfect excuse to tell someone how much they mean to you. Here you will find birthday wishes for your mum, sister, best friend, boyfriend or husband, children and colleagues, from short texts to longer messages for a card.

We also cover milestone birthdays, from the 18th and 21st to the 60th and beyond, and a practical guide to what to write in a birthday card when your mind goes blank. Pick the tone that fits, sweet, funny or sentimental, then add a shared memory to make it yours.
