There are many types of guys: macho guys, hipster guys, smart guys, nice guys, funny guys, and of course, hot guys. But no matter what type of guy we're talking about, it's safe to say he likes being recognized on his birthday. Sure, he might claim to be too cool for birthday traditions (talking about you, hipster guy), but that's just a front.
So, what's the best way to say Happy Birthday to a male friend? It all depends on – say it with me – what type of guy it is. Here's a list of birthday wishes in a variety of styles, for dudes of all stripes.
Short
To be clear, this section isn't about short guys. It's about short birthday wishes for guys. Big difference.
• Happy Birthday to my best guy friend! Hope your day rocks!
• Best birthday wishes to one of best guys I know!
• Happy Bro-thday!
• Happy Birthday, you party animal you.
• Happy Birthday, Silver Fox!
• Another year of being an all-around awesome guy. Happy Birthday!
• Happy Birthday to a friendly man and a manly friend!
• Hope you have a man-tastic birthday!
• Happy Birthday to my brother from another mother!
Longer
Here are some longer birthday messages to send to a special male friend.
• Happy Birthday to a great guy! You do so much for others. I hope you can take some time for yourself on your big day. You deserve it as much as anyone, and more than most.
• Happy Birthday to one of my favorite guys! I hope your day is as awesome as you are. And yes, I know that sappy stuff makes you cringe. But we don't always get what we want for our birthday, do we?
• Happy Birthday to a wonderful man! As you celebrate another year, I hope you look back on your life with a sense of pride. I know your friends and family are proud of you – and rightly so.
Funny
Finally, here are some funny messages for the birthday boy.
• I was going to get you something special for your birthday, but then I remembered that you pride yourself on self-reliance. So get it yourself.
• Happy Birthday to a real swell guy! I'm sending you this ironic birthday wish because I know you're way too cool for ordinary human sentiments.

• I have two messages for you on your birthday: 1) Have a great time, 2) Don't call me for bail money.
• Hey Birthday Boy! Hope you're enjoying your “distinguished-looking” years, because you move right to “old fart” after this.
• Happy Birthday! You know, you don't look that old. But then, you don't look that young, either.

While there are many special occasions where you can express your love to your hubby, birthdays remain exceptional. They remind you that your husband is growing older with you. Throwing a party to celebrate his special moment is one of the many things you can do to show how amazing he is to you.
However, not every man fancies a big party. If your husband comes under this category, you may need another way to celebrate his birthday without actually throwing a party. Giving him something that he currently wants to have, along with a card of happy birthday husband messages could never go wrong, especially if you write it by hand.
Now, you already know how much happy birthday hubby messages will mean to your husband, it’s time for you to create one. However, if you don’t want to just go with conventional birthday cards, here are some ideas that can inspire you:
• Leave a love note – If you think a piece of the birthday card isn’t enough for your husband, you can go with this sweet idea. Write happy birthday to husband messages that are more like love notes. You can leave them in any part of your home and ask your man to find them.
• Write a poem – Creating a birthday card doesn’t have to be in a literal form of a card. If you’re good with words, you can try writing a poem for your dear husband. If you don’t, you can give it a shot.
• Letters from family and friends – Another way to make your hubby’s day is to reach out to all the people closest to him and ask them to write a special letter or card for him.
