Whether you need a quick birthday message to fire off on the way to work or a longer, more heartfelt sentiment that is sure to make their day, we’ve compiled over 100 birthday wishes to share with your best friend.
Because every relationship is different, we have a range of options to send their way. There are funny wishes for the jokester, simple messages for the friend who prefers short and sweet, birthday blessings for the religious pair, and more. No matter how you classify your friendship, these birthday wishes are sure to bring a smile to their face on their big day — whether you’re there to witness it or not.
If you’re pairing your birthday wish with a gift, consider writing your sentiments in a card for them to keep, display, and/or look back on during hard days.
