What to write in a birthday card for a friend

Start with what makes the friendship yours: how you met, a trip you still talk about or the inside joke nobody else gets. Add a wish for the year ahead and sign off warmly. For a newer friend or coworker, a cheerful, simple greeting is perfectly fine.

Sample messages to copy

Use one as it is, or start from it and add a detail only you would know.

  • Happy birthday to the friend who makes ordinary days feel like an adventure.

  • Thanks for every late-night talk and every laugh I needed. Happy birthday, my friend.

  • Here’s to another year of bad ideas and great stories. Happy birthday!

  • You make the people around you braver and happier. I am lucky to be one of them. Happy birthday.

  • Happy birthday! Let’s celebrate like we did the night we met, just with fewer regrets.

  • Distance has never changed a thing between us. Happy birthday, and see you soon.
