WORDS TO START WITH

Birthday card messages

A birthday message can be small and still sound like you. Pick a starting point, then add the thing only you would say.

12 ideas to make your own

Happy birthday! I hope today is full of your favourite people, good food and a bit of peace and quiet.

I’m lucky to have you in my family. I hope you get back some of the love you give the rest of us all year.

I wish we were around the table together today. Save me a slice of cake and a long catch-up soon.

Another year of putting up with this family. You deserve the biggest slice of cake. Happy birthday!

Happy birthday, my friend. I hope you have the kind of day you’ll want to tell me all about.

Life is better with you in it. Thanks for the chats, the laughs and for always being yourself.

We need more days that end with us saying, ‘Remember when…?’ Let’s make a few this year. Happy birthday.

I was going to plan a sensible birthday for you, but then I remembered who I’m dealing with. Have a brilliant one.

Happy birthday! Hope you get a proper break today and something good to celebrate after work.

It’s a pleasure working with you. I hope today brings all the good company and good cake you can fit in.

You make even the busy days easier. Thanks for that, and have a birthday that’s entirely about you.

For your birthday, I’m officially not asking you about work. I’ll try to keep that promise until tomorrow.

Make it sound like you

What did they do this year that made you laugh, helped you out or made you proud? Add that one detail.

These are starting points. Change anything that doesn’t sound like you.

Writing from the whole group?

Give everyone room to add their own words, photos and voices in one card.
