Say Thank You" that can save you from this awkward moment. It makes replying to all your birthday wishes automated. Write a message and send it as a reply to all or selected birthday wishes. Lets see it in action.
Next enter the reply you want to send for your birthday wishes. A simple one like "Thanks a lot friend." would do.
Once done, you will be shown a list of all the birthday wishes you have on your wall. You can either reply to everybody or select people from the list.
For instance, most usual "Happy birthday buddy" message could be replied with the automated message. For others which are more personal, you could uncheck them and reply to them separately.
"Belated thank you so much."
They wish you this late.
So your response is also late, and this one works here perfectly.
"Youâre right, actually today is my birthday."
While everyone in your life celebrates your birthday one day before, this person is your true friend who knows when your actual birthday is.
So great friend heâs, that you even shifted your birth date to the next day.
"Bro, youâre actually a bit early for my next birthday."
Quite a sarcastic response to belated birthday wishes.
It would make them realize how late they are⌠nope, how early they are with the birthday wishes for you.
"Weâll still remain friends even if you didnât wish me."
Because they didnât greet you on the right day.
"Glad you finally have time to share your wishes."
Your friend is such a busy person and doesnât waste time on unimportant things.
Even late, as they greet you with happy birthday, it means youâre important to them.
"No problem, friend, I know where you are."
Definitely, this friend has time to check your status.
Theyâve been online and still donât get time to wish for you, so your response here is sarcastic but reasonable.
"Lol, even your birthday wishes come late. Thanks, Btw."
They are never on time, not even on a special day.
"I thought you were ignoring me. Fine, now."
And thatâs why you havenât invited this friend to your birthday. Right?
"Let me know whenâs your birthday?"
Why are you asking this?
Do you want to do the same to them?
"Sorry, I almost forgot to invite you to the party."
How arrogant are you, you forget your friend to invite a good friend.
This friend is certainly late, but they even care to send you wishes.
"Now Iâm happy, as my best friends have wished me."
You show your excitement that now your bestie shares the belated happy birthday wishes, you feel like itâs today.
"Thank you so much, Iâve been waiting for your message."
This is from a special friend, who never forgets to wish you.
Glad even late but they keep their record.
"Same as usual, thanks, buddy!"
You canât do anything about this person, they do the same to others and so to you!
"Bro, is there anything you can do on time?"
Youâre confused about what is preventing this person from doing the right things at the perfect time.
"Finally you realized itâs my birthday."
If someone texts late birthday wishes, see it as this friend wants to make his wishes noticeable.
And itâs possible when no one is wishing you a birthday.
"Thank you, but weâre not friends anymore."
We hope youâre not serious and get it personal.
Youâre just messing with this friend who dares to forget the important day of your life.
"And, whereâs my birthday present?"
They couldnât escape even with the belated birthday wishes.
Ask for a present, as itâs your best friend.
On asking, you can tell them itâs for a late fee.
"Thanks just because of you, Iâm celebrating my birthday this day, too."
Thank them and you can give a party for this person to make another day a special day of the year.
"My birthday isnât today, Save it for next year."
Try to act as if it makes you annoyed and not accept their belated birthday wishes.
"What were you doing? Why werenât you here?"
Youâre checking if this person is fine.
Maybe they were lost on the way to your home or their phones were stolen.
Possibly thatâs why he never greeted you on time.
"Itâs not my birthday, itâs her birthday now."
When someoneâs birthday comes on the next day after yours, these responses suit there.
Now, youâre not accepting wishes, because itâs someone elseâ now.
"Be frank, who told you that yesterday was my birthday?"
You are confirming with this person because you know someone has informed them about wishing you.
"You break my heart. I didnât expect this from you."
Of course, you donât like it.
To make them wish you on time, and mark this day for the next year, such witty responses to late birthday wishes are enough.
"I will do the same, then you will realize how it feels."
They wonât understand it unless it happens to them.
"Those who wish late are the ones who are honest."
Youâre being frank while accepting the late happy birthday wishes.
Just a fun response to give your bestie for the belated wishes.
"Are you kidding me? Youâre not only late but also wishing the wrong person."
Well, you have someone elseâs late wishes as your birthday isnât around⌠So why take it.
Inform this person to pass it on to the right person.
How do you respond to a belated birthday wish?
You always have that one friend whose messages and wishes are late.
Not just a regular text, but this friend is also late to wish someone a special day.
In response to most birthday wishes, you may copy and paste âThank youâ messages to everyone.
But late birthday wishes are something that you want to handle differently.
Here you can simply say thank you, but if itâs from your best friend or someone you care about the most, you give them sarcastic or funny replies like the one shared above.
You can tease them or express how being not with you on a special day hurts you and all.
With funny responses to belated happy birthday wishes, you try to show that youâre fine and not taking things personally.
Late or early, they wish you thatâs you care most.

Thank them for making an effort to wish you a âHappy Birthdayâ
The most common way to respond when someone says âHappy Birthdayâ is to thank them. It doesn't have to be anything extraordinary, but thanking someone or remembering and making an effort to wish you a happy birthday is a kind gesture.
For example:
⢠âThanks a lot! It was kind of you to remember.â
⢠âAww, thanks. I'm fortunate to have awesome friends like you guys.â
⢠âThank you so much for reaching out, it was lovely to hear from you, and I really appreciate the birthday wishes.â
⢠âThank you! I'm having a great day made all the better by your touching words.â
Share your emotions
Birthdays can be emotional. The fact of getting older can cause some to think about their life and get deep and emotional. Also, the outpouring of support and love from friends and family can remind people how lucky they are.
You can use any emotions you're feeling in the way you reply when someone wishes you a happy birthday:
⢠âIt goes by so quickly. I feel lucky to have you in my life.â
⢠âI always get emotional on my birthday as I'm reminded of how many amazing friends I have. I love you guys!â
⢠âIt's been a wild year, but I've learned so much and feel like I've been on a real journey.â
⢠âWith age comes wisdom, and I'm feeling much wiser than I did a few years ago.â
Make a joke about your birthday
Birthdays are meant to be fun. In fact, when someone wishes you a happy birthday, they may do so with a joke or by making fun of how old you're getting. So an excellent way to respond is to make a joke about your birthday!
Embrace getting older and poke some fun at yourself:
⢠âThanks. I've been working hard towards this all year!â
⢠âThank you all for the birthday wishes! I'm still calling it 29!â
⢠âThanks, but I'm really just waiting for my present.â
⢠âThanks to my friends for all the wonderful birthday wishes. To everyone else â you're dead to me.â
Tell them about your birthday
Some people may be genuinely interested in what you did for your birthday. If you had a big party or went away to celebrate, it's worth mentioning.
For example:
⢠âThanks! I had an awesome day. My partner got me an amazing present, and then we had a quiet family meal. It was great.â
⢠âThanks for remembering. It was pretty low-key this year, no wild parties or anything. Maybe next year, though!â
⢠âIt's going to be a wild one! You're invited to my party, so I expect to see you there!â
Reply to everyone in one go on social media
This way, you can thank everyone together without having to make individual replies:
⢠âThanks to everyone for the lovely birthday wishes! You guys all rock!â
⢠âIt made my day to wake up to so many lovely messages. Thank you to all my friends.â
⢠âIt would take my entire birthday to thank you all for the messages, but I read them all and am so grateful for all the kind words.â
Send a little card or note
Sending a card or note is usually when you've received a gift and want to thank that person. But there's no harm in sending a little note to say thanks if someone has made an effort to say happy birthday in a lovely way.
Stella Scott
Birthday wishes always make the occasion memorable, and it is vital to make those who send you the wishes feel appreciated from the bottom of your heart.
A simple word of gratitude goes a long way
A simple word of gratitude or thank you goes a long way to return some of the love back and show how grateful you are. Just ensure to do it timely and concisely.
However, how you respond to âHappy birthdayâ depends on whether you got the message through:
⢠social media channels
⢠text message
⢠a phone call
⢠in-person
Respond individually over text
The best way is to use the same platform on which the person sent you the wishes. For instance, if someone wishes you a happy birthday through a text message, it would be appropriate to respond individually over text.
Give them your full attention and deliver your thanks in person
The best way to thank someone for telling you happy birthday in person is to give them your full attention, make eye contact, and smile as you deliver your thanks.
Make the person feel special for their contribution to your birthday celebration. Be precise and tell the person what they would like to hear without criticizing them, bringing up an embarrassment, or doing something that might upset them.
For example, you can say:
âThank you for the birthday wish, you are so kind, and I truly appreciate it.â
Ensure that you don't offend anyone on social media
The first thing is to ensure you don't offend anyone. If you got several messages from your closest ones, you could respond to them individually via personalized responses.
However, a single message on your wall will work if you are a frequent social media user and get many messages from different people.
For example, you can make a post saying:
âThank you, everyone, for the love and birthday wishes! You are truly amazing.â
AJ Silberman-Moffitt
As I approach the big Five-O, I have had my share of birthdays. The next one will be a milestone birthday for me, and I am still unsure how I feel about that.
What I do know, however, is that when someone wishes me a âHappy Birthday,â I should be prepared to answer appropriately. But what are good ways to respond when someone wishes you a âHappy Birthdayâ? It can depend on who is saying it to you.
Keep it short and sweet if it's from a coworker or supervisor
You can simply say thank you to a coworker or supervisor because sometimes, it's best to keep it short and sweet. Saying thank you is polite and appropriate.
Your coworkers or supervisor may be wishing you well on your birthday because it seems the right thing to do, but that doesn't mean you need to start a long conversation about it.
Of course, if they ask you leading questions such as, âDo you have any plans for your big day?â you can respond accordingly.
Reply kindly if it's from a family member
If it's your mom or dad wishing you âHappy Birthday,â you can reply in kind. After all, you wouldn't have a birthday if it wasn't for them.
Siblings may also wish you well. You can take the opportunity with these family members to reminisce about days past, or when you were younger, even the silly things you did and the like.
A birthday greeting can be a great way to open up and start a conversation.
Talk about their birthday if it's from a friend
If a friend wishes you a âHappy Birthday,â they probably say it sincerely and not merely because it's the right thing to do.
In addition to the appropriate âThank you,â why not talk about their birthday? Whether they are younger, older, or about the same age, you can talk about the similarities or differences that your birthdays might bring.
Make sure you respond politely
Whatever way you choose to respond to âHappy Birthday,â make sure you are polite. A simple âThank youâ will always suffice for anyone wishing you this.
Even if your birthday (like my Five-O) might not be something you are looking forward to, remember that these people wish you well. Let them know you appreciate the gesture.
Harriet Chan
It depends on the people who wish you or how you receive it
It may seem a simple question, yet the answer can depict someone's personality. So, it is wise to respond correctly depending on the people who wish you or how you receive it.
A close family member can be responded to with a hug
A direct wish from a close family member can be responded to with a hug and express your joy. A thank you may not be just enough or relevant for close ones.
After all, thank you can seem more formal. You can also write a handwritten note expressing your gratitude.
You can respond to your friends humorously
While replying to friends, you can go with the flow and be casual. If they are formal, you can thank them. If they are funny, you can also respond humorously. The key is not to overthink and just go with the flow.
Like your friends' birthday greetings on social media
If you receive a âHappy Birthdayâ message through social media, you can simply thank the person by writing a short message back.
âThank you.â There is no need to try and find out the person as it may seem intrusive.
So, the next time you receive a âHappy Birthdayâ wish, think about the relationship you share with the person and reply accordingly!
John Hart
There are different ways with which people can wish you âHappy Birthday,â like social media, in-person, and at your birthday party.
If it's on social media
On Social media, you might be a member of various groups created by your friends or colleagues or your family and relatives, and they send you wishes in the group on your birthday.
âThank you, everyone, for all your wishes. It really made my day.â
So here, you can respond to every wish one by one or just one âThank Youâ to all. One âThank Youâ to all is much easier than responding to every wish.
In one âThank Youâ to all, you can say, âThank you, everyone, for all your wishes. It really made my day.â
If someone wishes you in person
When someone wishes you in person, the situation can be anything like you are in school, college, or work, and people wish you there.
Give them a little treat on your birthday
At that time, you can respond like this: âThank you so much. You remembered, and it means a lot to me.â
And it is a decent and polite move to give them a little treat on your birthday if you don't want to hold a party and invite them over.
They deserve this much, as they took the initiative and made efforts to remember your birthday and wished you on the day.
If it is at your birthday party
The other way is at your birthday party. You invite your friends, your family and relatives, your colleagues and your beloved and dear ones.
âThank you so much. I'm so glad you came.â
They wish you a âHappy birthdayâ as soon as they arrive at your party, and sometimes they can even pull you into their embrace if you are very close to each other.
At this point, hug them back and say, âThank you so much. I'm so glad you came.â
And for people you've met after a long time, you can say, âThank you. Thank you so much for coming. I've been longing to see you.â With a bit of emphasis and emotions in your response, you can make the other person who wished you feel good.
Steve Anderson
Birthday greetings are usually significant for a person, and when it is your birthday, people will prepare surprises or give you wishes all day.
Here are a few ways to respond to âHappy Birthdayâ wishes:
Send out one thank-you note
If you use social media often, you may receive birthday wishes from strangers, old friends, and individuals you don't know. Even your buddies are unlikely to be anticipating a tailored answer.
It's standard practice to post a remark on your wall thanking everyone for their birthday wishes, and it's unlikely to upset anybody.
The following is an example of a response:
âThank you very much for your birthday greetings! I'm having a fantastic time!â
âThat was the ideal birthday present! You know everything about me.â
When feasible, thank someone in person after they offer you a birthday gift or go out of their way to make you a birthday wish. Give each buddy or group of friends your undivided attention, smile, and establish eye contact while expressing your gratitude.
Here are some suggestions about how to go about it:
⢠âYour card meant a great deal to me. It truly lifted my spirits.â
⢠âThat was the ideal birthday present! You know everything about me.â
Tell your pal what they want to hear
Never criticize a present provided to you by a friend, bring up something humiliating, or do anything else that can irritate them. If you don't like the gift, try to discover something you do appreciate about it, or praise them for taking the effort to choose (or make) such a thoughtful gift.
Maria A. McDowell
Birthdays are always a moment when family and friends send their best wishes. Sometimes, the birthday wishes can get overwhelming, and you will be at a loss on how to reply to everyone.
Here is how to respond to âHappy birthdayâ:
âThank you for your best wishesâ
When you get a happy birthday message in person, you can respond by simply smiling and saying, âThank You!â If it is a text, you can reply with, âThank you for your best wishes.â
Share a general thank you message on your social media
If the messages are so much and overwhelming, the best way to respond is to share a general appreciation message on your social media page/handle. This saves you the trouble of replying individually to every message.
For example:
âThank you, everyone, for sending your best wishes and celebrating this day with me. My heart is exploding with joy! Thank you!â
Share a birthday picture of yourself with a message
Suppose you want to respond personally to your birthday wishes. In that case, you can post your beautiful picture on any of your social media handles and curate an appreciation message to go with it. This gives your message a more personal touch.
Jacquelyn Kennedy
Respond with a simple and in-kind âThanksâ
All you have to do when someone wishes you a simple âHappy Birthdayâ is respond with an equally simple âThanks.â
If someone has put a lot of thought and effort into wishing you a Happy Birthday, then you should respond in kind â by putting more effort into showing your gratitude.
Think of a handwritten âThank youâ card
If someone has brought you a gift, or baked you a cake, then think of a handwritten âThank Youâ card with a personal, thoughtful touch (I always try to put a little doodle in mine â usually of one of their beloved pets, but also favorite foods, or inside jokes).
Take them out for lunch to show how thankful you are
If you have been lucky enough to have a friend or colleague organize a party for your birthday, I recommend taking them out for lunch to show how thankful you are.
It doesn't have to be expensive â it just has to be thoughtful, such as taking them to one of their favorite spots or surprising them with a delicious home-cooked meal.
David Reid
Reply with long-distance messages
If someone sends you an earnest birthday wish on social media, reply to yourself. Post the answer at least 3-5 sentences long â no need to respond to new posts on someone else's wall.
Older relatives, people with âlow technology,â and people who do not use social media are more likely to expect individual responses.
Instead, post a photo (optional). If you want to thank people visually, take a picture of your smiling face wearing a party hat, birthday cake, or another birthday party. This shows that you are making little effort to make your gratitude special, but it is easy.
For example:
⢠âI am grateful for your good wishes,â you can say.
⢠âYou are very kind, and I appreciate you remembering my birthday.â
⢠âThank you for your birthday wishes. It means a lot to me.â
⢠âGrateful for your kindness towards my birthday.â
⢠âSincerely, I wouldn't have done it without you making me remember this special day in my life. I will never forget all of your good words and compliments.â
Chris Myles
"Happy birthday to who? Iâm not aging!"
The obvious answer is to simply respond with "Thank you," and there are infinite variations. It can be a simple and formal "Thank you," or it could be a more friendly "Thank you very much," or it could be something more personal.
You can also say thank you in person, over a text, with a card or letter â you get the idea.
If you want a goofy and fun response, thereâs one that I like doing with friends and family. Instead of saying thank you, I say, "Happy birthday to who? Iâm not aging!"
It usually leads to a conversation about birthdays, age, and how fast time passes. Or if the person doesnât know you as well, they will worry about whether they have gotten the date right, so it can be a bit of a prank on them!
Share it on social media!
