Hints & Tips


What are the best 100th birthday wishes to send?

Turning 100 is THE biggest milestone birthday. You want to go all out with your 100th birthday wishes. The best birthday messages for 100 year olds are thoughtful 100th birthday greetings that celebrate and honor their amazing lives, plus express how you feel about them 

What type of 100th birthday wishes is right for you and your loved one? This is easy. You just have to write 100th birthday wishes that best reflect how you feel about the birthday boy or girl.

With other milestones, I typically point out that the recipient's preferences for all things birthday related should also be taken into consideration, but this factor is not as important with 100th birthday wishes.

With 100th birthday messages, you simply want to find the most suitable tribute. By suitable, I mean the "birthday message closest to how you want to honor your loved one." It's that easy!

For example, some of my favorite 100th birthday wishes cleverly pay tribute to the strength, love, individuality and achievements of someone who has turned 100, someone who deserves our deepest respect and love.

I also like to pay homage to a loved one's finest qualities. For instance, you could craft 100th birthday wishes that show that one of these qualities had a profoundly positive impact on you. 

If you still don't know how you want to pay tribute to the birthday boy or girl, just choose one or more of the 100th birthday wishes on this page to combine or change into a beautiful 100th birthday message of your own.

If you decide to use (as is) one of the 100th birthday wishes here, be sure to add your own personal touch to it. That should result in a wonderful tribute for this incredible milestone.

Also, you may want to personalize your 100th birthday wishes by adding the recipient’s name — or have it framed and wrapped to give as a gift. So, start writing away!
