JUMP TO:
Welcome to the ultimate birthday wish extravaganza! I was tasked this month with coming up with unique and funny birthday wishes you can use in a blank b-day card or just when you want to text a little something to those special people in your life. I actually spent more than 20 days and about 40 hours coming up with these. Imagine?
So feel free to just take any of these so you can save time and make them feel like you’re a clever little genius. Some are better than others (don’t judge me) but they should work for just about anyone at almost any age. Let’s dive in and sprinkle some birthday magic!
