Hints & Tips
Whether you choose to keep the birthday wishes and quotes "as is" or change them, take a moment or two to check out my tips and hints below.
The more you know about birthday messages, the better your choice will be, making the birthday of your loved ones even sweeter.
What are the best birthday wishes?
Choosing the best birthday wishes depends on seven factors:
1. Knowing what you want to say is a good start.
If you know what you want, you just need to find birthday messages that say just about everything on your mind. Be sure that it reflects your true feelings (you don't want to come off as insincere to a friend or family member who knows you inside out). Knowing what you want to say, of course, is not the only way to begin your search. You can also start without a clue of what you would like to express in your birthday message. If you don't know what you want, simply opt for generic birthday messages (what I call "happy" birthday greetings on this site) that "feel right" to you (in other words, a message that fits your personality). So-called "happy" birthday messages are practically guaranteed to be inoffensive.
2. Knowing the birthday boy or girl well makes all the difference.
Knowing whether or not he or she has, for example, a funny, clever, cool, sentimental or romantic side can really help you narrow your search. Here are a few questions you may want to ask yourself about the recipient of your birthday greeting: What age will he or she be turning? Does he or she want his/her age mentioned in the birthday wish? When is the birthday of the birthday boy or girl? How do you know the birthday girl or boy? His or her personality? Education? Work history? Hobbies and/or interests? His or her idea of fun? Any talents or skills worth mentioning? Does he or she like to travel? Where? Favorite colors, animals and foods? Goals, dreams, job and school?
3. Major milestone birthdays call for milestone birthday wishes.
When any of your loved ones, turn 21, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 or 100, you need to pick birthday messages that not only pay tribute to these milestones but also reflect how the birthday girl or boy feels about reaching them. Is he or she freaking out about getting older or aging gracefully? Is he or she now more content with life or is every mountain a mole hole? The more you acknowledge the milestone and their reaction to it, the better your birthday message will be.
4. Don't go too far with the style you choose.
When you want to pick a funny message, be funny. Don't be cruel. Nobody likes the cold, hard truth, even in jest. If you want to go the inspirational route, don't be condescending. People could usually smell condescension a mile away. If you want to be sentimental, don't be maudlin or melodramatic. It's just depressing on someone's birthday. If you want to be cool or clever, don't be cryptic. Nobody wants a puzzle for their birthday. If you want to go the generic route, don't be too generic (it sounds insincere and it's plain boring).
5. But don't be shy with your birthday messages.
When you're too shy with your birthday messages, you could come off as cold, phony or, even worse, the "b" word (boring). Pick a message that truly speaks your heart. However, don't be too forward — you don't want to go too far and cross any lines by mistake. You'll just end up offending the birthday girl or boy.
6. Birthday messages are not engraved in stone.
In other words, you can personalize any birthday wish on this site. In fact, adding your personal touch will only improve what I've written, since you obviously know the recipient of your message better than I do. What kind of changes should you make? Take a quick look at Message Guy Tip #6 below to get a good idea of what you need to do.
7. Make sure that the birthday wishes you choose have no mistakes.
Last but certainly not least, check the birthday wishes you choose for grammar, spelling and punctuation mistakes.
How do you say "Happy Birthday"
to someone special?When you don't know what type of birthday message you should send someone, happy birthday wishes are the way to go. You might even say that they are the "safest" path to take. It's almost impossible to offend anyone with this type of birthday message.
There's very little chance you'll accidentally insult someone with"happy" birthday wishes, given their benign nature. So, are these "nice" birthday greetings the best route for you? First, you need to consider why you're choosing happy birthday wishes in the first place.
• Is it because you don't know what type of birthday greeting to send (or you just don't care what you send)?
• Do you want to avoid looking ridiculous with the wrong birthday message?
• Are you concerned that you might look inconsiderate if you don't send one at all?
• If you've answered "yes" to any of these questions, happy birthday wishes are the best option for you.
Out of all the birthday verses you can choose to give someone, the "happy” birthday message is the least risky. It’s virtually impossible to hurt people with this type of greeting. But it’s also the most generic kind of birthday wish you can pick for your loved ones. And you don't want to seem insincere.
You can avoid the pitfalls of "happy” birthday messages by keeping in mind why people like to receive them: they want birthday greetings that show you care enough about them to acknowledge their special day in a tangible way (in writing).
Ultimately, you should choose happy birthday wishes that show you appreciate the recipient of your message. You don't have to pick a birthday message with "deep" or "strong" sentiments — particularly if it's not for a family member or romantic interest. You just need to express "appropriate" feelings that you think will ring true for the birthday boy or girl, based on his or her personality.
What's the perfect type of birthday wish? It's any birthday greeting that sheds a positive light on the best qualities of the birthday gal or guy, turning a birthday card or eCard into a "thank you" note and focusing on the year ahead (and what you hope it brings. The best birthday wishes also do not assume people are thrilled about a birthday, so emphasizing the person instead of the milestone is the right route to take.
With all these tips in mind, the happy birthday wishes you choose can be a perfect, inoffensive birthday message not only for your family and friends, but also for coworkers, clients, acquaintances and the children of friends. For ideas, check out the examples on this page. Feel free to combine them, change them or use them "as is" if they express what you feel about the birthday gal or guy.
How do you personalize happy birthday wishes?
There are a many ways to say "Happy Birthday" to someone special, but only one way that makes birthday wishes special: you need to personalize the birthday wishes you send to them.
All the birthday wishes here have that personal touch you need. The best way to show you what I mean is to show you a generic birthday wish and what I would do to personalize it.
Here's one: "As a husband, you’re wonderful. As my best friend, you’re simply amazing. Now that you’re 40, you’re, well, perfect. Happy birthday, sweetheart!"
There are three ways to personalize this birthday wish (without changing its overall message):
• You change the word "wonderful" to any other adjective (e.g. inspiring, supportive, loving).
• You can also change the word "amazing" to another adjective (whatever you think will make him feel truly special on his birthday).
• Plus, you can change the word "sweetheart" to your own term of endearment (such as darling, honey, sweetie pie, a cute variation of his name or just his name).
When is the best time to use birthday quotes?
Choosing birthday quotes over birthday wishes or birthday poems is something to consider when you want to make your birthday message truly stand out. That's what birthday quotes do best.
In other words, the best time to say "Happy Birthday" with one or more birthday quotes in a card, eCard or text is when you want to make a big statement in the birthday greetings you write.
Birthday quotes are particularly ideal when you want to share your feelings about not only the birthday boy or girl, but also the birthday milestone itself. Major milestone moments, like someone's 50th, 60th, 70th, 80th, 90th or 100th birthday, call for birthday quotes loud and clear. That's because birthday quotes are pretty momentous themselves.
For the birthday guy or gal, reaching the age of 50 or 100 is a very big deal, so it requires clever, sentimental, inspirational, funny, romantic or cool words of wisdom that only famous writers can deliver through well-written, time-tested birthday quotes.
Of course, not all birthday quotes are created equal. Personally, I tend to choose inspirational birthday quotes over other styles, because who doesn't like to hear or read a few uplifting words about themselves on their birthday? Probably nobody. Inspiring birthday quotes, even by themselves, make wonderful birthday gifts.
Otherwise, I like to send, depending on the personality and circumstances of birthday girl or boy, sentimental, funny or cool birthday quotes.
The bottom line: whatever you do, be sure to select birthday quotes that, first and foremost, make the birthday gal or guy feel incredibly special and, lastly, express your true feelings about him or her.
Why do you need to add birthday wishes to birthday quotes?
Why do you need to add personal birthday wishes before and after famous birthday quotes? Put simply: birthday quotes without birthday wishes are like eating a hamburger without a bun. It's good but not great.
In other words, you need to make birthday quotes, which are written by someone who doesn't even know the birthday boy or girl, more personal.
You shouldn't just famous birthday quotes into a card, eCard or text. Sandwiching birthday quotes with your own birthday wishes adds your personal touch — your personal feelings, your personal beliefs and your personal memories, making your "Happy Birthday" truly unique.
What's the best way to add birthday greetings to the birthday quotes you choose? Use birthday messages that put the birthday quotes into the proper context, showing the birthday boy or girl how and why they apply to him or her.
To see what I mean, glance at the personal birthday wishes right below. Each one could easily be added to the famous birthday quotes on this page.
