Whether you want to make them laugh at the memories you’ve shared together, or use a pun to put a smile on their face, we have all the funny birthday wishes for girls you could ever need — plus some of our favorite greeting cards to pair them with.

How to Find the Perfect Funny Birthday Message

Before you grab any old birthday message and add it to a card, it’s a good idea to figure out what’s likely to work best. Here’s what to think about to help you find the ideal funny birthday wishes for girls in your life.

Consider Your Relationship

First, think about the relationship between you and the recipient. If they’re your best friend forever, you can be as wild as you like with your funny birthday greetings. If it’s a sibling or friend, trust that you both know each other well enough to find a birthday joke that’s funny to them.

When you’re writing to a coworker, unless you’re close with each other, it’s best to stick to some light humor, if you decide to use any at all. The same goes for a more distant relative or a neighbor — stick with what feels right to you.

Take Inspiration From Their Interests

To make your funny happy birthday message extra special, choose a greeting that features an interest of theirs or a topic you know they’ll find interesting.

Choose a meme, pun, or joke that’s centered around their love for cats, dogs, a specific TV show, actor, or whatever is the subject of their latest (or longest) obsession. If you’re not sure where to start, think about what’s trending right now that they’ve spoken to you about.

Joke About Your Previous Birthday Mishaps

Nobody’s perfect, and your previous birthday mishaps can be a great starting place for a funny birthday message. This works great if you’re serially late to birthday parties, or if you always have to send belated birthday wishes.

Play up the fact that you’ve finally managed to send a birthday card their way on time, or that you’ll be early to their birthday celebration instead of an hour late. And if you’re late again this time? Promise you’ll do better on their next birthday with a lighthearted joke.
