Tips for birthday wishes for him

Tips for birthday wishes for him

Finding suitable birthday wishes can be a real challenge since you want to please the person celebrating and not wind up sounding too corny or boring.

To address that, here are a few tips for you on how to improve your birthday greetings more and make them more fitting.

Include something personal

Most people are happy to receive personal messages. For example, you can revisit jokes that you’ve shared together over the years, or just reminisce a bit about your time together.

It can also be fun to refer to the interests, hobbies or personality of the jubilarian. In this way, you’ll show that you know him well and that you didn’t copy the content for your birthday card from somewhere.

You’ll also show him that you have made an effort and that his birthday and he are important to you. You may get the best results by combining your personal message with our birthday wishes.

Reference your relationship

Most sayings are basically applicable to most men, and many sayings need only a bit of adjustment. Then again, the way in which you express congratulations varies depending on the relationship you have with the person you are congratulating. For instance, congratulating your grandfather as his granddaughter would differ from congratulating your best buddy in his mid-forties or your fiancé as a young woman;

As a buddy it can be a funny saying or a little (or bigger) teasing. A grandfather would likely appreciate a few heartfelt words or a poem, while a fiancé would be pleased with a loving message or references to shared experiences from the past or anticipated future.

Especially if you are colleagues and you want to congratulate more out of politeness, you should refrain from coarser, teasing sayings. Of course, this also depends on the relationship you have with each other.

Tailor your birthday wishes to his character

Adapt your happy birthday wishes to his character

It’s cliché to claim that no man likes long and profound birthday wishes. Men want it to be short, crude and funny — and touching texts are boring. After all, no man likes to show feelings.

Nevertheless, there are certainly a lot of men who are just as happy about emotional and loving congratulations as many women are. You will probably know the celebrant himself best and what he is most pleased about.

So when choosing your birthday greetings, it is best to make sure that they also fit the character of the birthday boy.

Use photos or pictures

Maybe you can find some old photos of you as children or young adults somewhere. It’s especially nice if the person celebrating isn’t familiar with the pictures or hasn’t seen them in a long time. Reveling in fond memories puts a smile on most people’s faces.

Many also give their friends goofy pictures for their birthday. Some of them are often quite silly, but just that can be very funny, particularly if a photo is paired with a humorous saying, for example.

Send these pictures either via social media or also give them away as a card or postcard. Maybe the birthday boy will even hang them up for display.
