What are the best 18th birthday wishes?
When people turn 18 (in many countries, such as Canada), they legally become adults with grown-up privileges, like the right to buy tobacco, drink alcohol, vote and drive.
So, should you just stick to drinking and other age-related jokes in your 18th birthday wishes? Yes and no. Here's why...
⢠YES, someone's 18th birthday is an opportunity to be funny or serious about age-related milestones, like drinking alcohol, bar hopping or partying in general.
In other words, if the birthday boy or girl can take a joke, poke fun at their drinking with your 18th birthday wishes. If they're the serious type (they look and sound like adults), gently inspire them to be their best in the coming years.
There's also the happy medium: 18th birthday wishes that aren't totally funny or completely serious. They could be sentimental, inspirational, cute, even clever, or a combo of every style.
Keep in mind, though, many 18-year-old boys and girls are consumed with social media and everything else online, so you need to send them original 18th birthday greetings that can penetrate this cyberspace-jaded crowd. You need to be "real" (not contrived or patronizing) with your 18th birthday wishes.
