How to Write Sweet Birthday Wishes for Your Bestie
Want to make an extra good impression this year? Here’s how to approach writing those birthday wishes for best friends that mean the whole world to you.
Keep it Casual
Your best friend is someone you can be fully yourself around, so go as casual as you like. No need for formalities here, unless that’s your vibe! Write to the special person in your life in a way that feels natural to the way you talk and your birthday greetings will feel truly authentic.
Make it Personal
When you write to a loved one, the best advice is to make it feel as unique and personal. Skip cookie-cutter phrases and replace them with funny or inspirational birthday wishes, inside jokes, and memories from special moments you’ve shared together.
Mention a Gift
No doubt you have the best gift planned for your BFF, so feel free to tease it a little in your birthday message! Let them know you can’t wait to surprise them with a luxury gift at their birthday party, or that you’ve been planning this birthday gift for the entire year.
