The Happy Birthday! Card

If you're like me, you try and send a birthday card to the special people in your life whenever you can (or at least – whenever you remember to). But, one of the greatest challenges of sending a birthday card is determining what to write on the inside. Sure you can simply write “Happy Birthday” and sign your name, but that's not very personal, now is it? So if you're looking for something special to say, but haven't a clue what that is - try one of the inscriptions I have provided below. They're short. They're to the point. And with any luck, they should make the birthday boy/girl chuckle a little bit before diving into that bowl of chocolate cake and ice cream, while crying about how old looking he/she has become.

  • You remind me of a good bottle of wine – kind of old... kind of dusty... rather full-bodied... and most importantly you're getting better with age. Happy Birthday!

  • You know, I really didn't like you when we first met. But now that you're a full year older than me and getting some crows feet around your eyes – you're my new wingman! Happy Birthday!

  • Didn't I see you on a milk carton once? Yeah, I'm positive I did. It showed a picture of you and said something like “Best if Used by: December 11, 1994.” Happy Birthday!

  • Don't worry about your age. Both the fire department and EMTs are on standby just in case all those birthday candles get out of control. Happy Birthday!

  • How's 32 years old sound to you? Good? Good. I'll keep your secret if you keep mine. Happy Birthday!
