So what if you're another year older. Think of it this way: You’re just one day older than yesterday. Have a wonderful birthday!

Let what I'm about to say be a lesson to you. When a young man or woman is beautiful, it is a fluke of Mother Nature. When an old man or woman is beautiful, it's a work of art...and you're a masterpiece! Happy birthday!

You taught me that the most obvious route to happiness is right under my nose. It's myself. And I just need to look at myself from another angle to be happy. Hoping you're as happy with yourself as I am because of you. Happy birthday.

Happy birthday to the newest member of the Middle Age Club! Don’t wax nostalgic for your glory days. So what if you're now the perfect candidate for a mid-life crisis. On the bright side, this is so much better than an end-of-life crisis. Today is only the beginning of the end! Here's to getting older and celebrating many more birthdays!

Happy birthday! To me, you are still one in a million. To the world, though, you are one in a million Baby Boomers who believe age is not a number, but a series of experiences that can only lead to Botox or plastic surgery. Here's to getting older.

I once read that you shouldn't count your birthdays — you should make your birthdays count. I don't remember where I read it or who wrote it, but I've thought long and hard about this tip. And I have reached this conclusion: whoever wrote it must have died young or is an idiot. In any case, here's to making your birthday count. Happy birthday.

Birthday Toasts
- Funny -

How do you write a funny birthday toast? You don't need to be a comedian to write or deliver one. You should just be yourself and write what you think is funny.

To get started, below are funny birthday toasts that you can modify, blend or deliver "as is" for birthday gals or guys who think that life is a comedy of errors.

Here's to a secret that has the whole world (and this whole room) buzzing with excitement and wonder...your real age. Today, we should  wish you "happy (what) birthday"? 

Happy birthday! There's no sense in fretting about your age. Getting older is like owning a dilapidated home. Every year, it's a something else. One day, you need to get your pipes fixed and, the next day, you're spending thousands on a front
face-lift. Too bad you can't buy a new home.

Here's to you. No matter how old you get, you never look your age. The only reason I know you're 50 is because I have it on good authority that your chiropractor sent you a birthday card.


Birthday Toasts - Cute Toast and Cute Toast Keepsake for a Birthday Guy or Gal

My plan was to write a very special toast for your birthday, like a short and sweet birthday poem that truly reflects where you are in life, but I couldn't find the right words for it. I mean, it's pretty hard to find anything that rhymes with decrepitude, disrepair or decay. So, let's just leave it at "Happy Birthday" and I hope you have many more.

Happy birthday! I'm not here to tell you that you're old. You already know you're old. Come on, you and I know that you're old enough to do what the heck you want, but you're young enough to remember that you should pretend you don't remember doing it. That's a good age to be in my books. Here's to you getting away with anything.

Happy birthday! You've been granted another chance to show that getting older does not necessarily mean getting wiser, starting tonight. But I can see that you already started without me. In the spirit of your birthday celebration, I will join you. If we're lucky, we won't be any the wiser tomorrow when we try to remember what we did tonight.

Your birthday is the perfect time for me to share what I really think of you. You are my hero. You exemplify everything I respect in this world: honesty, compassion, caring, integrity, love, you name it, you possess it. And I'm not just saying these words because it's your birthday. Every day, I model my life after yours. For this reason alone, I'm a better person. Keep shining your light, so the rest of us can happily live in your shadow. Happy birthday.

The road you've chosen for yourself is a challenging one, but you've persevered, regardless of every obstacle in your path. You are a shining example of what it means to be brave. You've proven all the naysayers wrong. And you did it so gracefully. You should be very proud of yourself. I know I am. I know that everybody here feels the same way. Happy birthday to the strongest person I know…and love. Cheers!

Someone once said to me that there's beauty in life's struggles. I never understood what those words meant, until I met you. You've struggled all your life and succeeded, even when the odds were stacked against you. You are a beautiful soul. There's true beauty in everything you do. Happy birthday! May you always see in yourself what we see in you.

I would like to raise a toast to growing older gracefully. I've always heard that it's possible but never believed it — that was until I met our very graceful birthday girl. Nobody I know makes growing older look so effortlessly beautiful like her. Happy birthday.

I just wanted to take the time today to wish my mother a happy birthday! My Mom is an amazing woman. If I only had one word to describe what makes her so amazing, that word would be "love." She gives so much of it away without expecting any in return. I'm sure I speak for everyone here when I say, we love you dearly. Happy birthday, Mom!

Just wanted to wish you a very, very happy birthday today! You're one of the most big-hearted, friendly, uplifting and thoughtful people I know. I feel blessed to have you in my life! Happy birthday!


Birthday Toasts - Sentimental Toast and Sentimental Toast Keepsake for a Birthday Guy or Gal

I'm glad I'm here to celebrate your birthday. I've known you for many years and, because life (and, I guess, my shy nature) can often get in the way of telling someone special in your life how much you care about them, I've never really told you how special you are to me. You are so special to me. You make my life, well, better. I just wanted you to know how I feel about you. Happy birthday! May all your days be as wonderful as this celebration of you.

Happy birthday. I don't know anybody who deserves to have the happiest of birthdays more than you. You are someone who never asks for anything and who never hesitates to lend a helping hand to anyone. This celebration is for you, so let us give you a hand for once. Let us make this birthday the best ever. Here's to you.

Wishing you a mere "happy birthday" just doesn't cut it for me. I would like to say more. I want you to know that this is your special day, and you should feel as special as you are to us. That said, I want to wish you a "happy, happy, happy, happy, happy birthday" for today and a "happy, happy, happy, happy, happy birthday" for all your tomorrows. Cheers!

Hints & Tips


How do you write happy birthday toasts?

Out of all the birthday toasts you can make, the “cheerful” variety is the safest route to take. It’s virtually impossible to offend anyone with happy birthday toasts. But not all "happy" toasts are created equal. Which type is right for you? Well...

Happy birthday toasts, if written superficially, can be the most impersonal toast you can use. If you stay with only "oldies but goodies" like "Happy Birthday" or "Wishing you all the best" (you know what I mean), your toast will be good but boring. 

What you want for the birthday boy or girl is a birthday toast that's truly original and enjoyable. To this end, you should include three elements when you write happy birthday toasts:

  1. Your toast should be 100% celebratory (in other words, cheerful to the max), celebrating the recipient.
  2. Your birthday message should be slightly personal (not one-size-fits-all), reflecting the personality of the birthday gal or guy.
  3. Your toast should not contain even a hint of anything offensive. No bad vibes here.
  4. Your toast must be suitable for the recipient ("cheerful" happy birthday toasts are best for family, coworkers, clients and acquaintances, not for girlfriends, boyfriends, husbands or wives).
  5. The message should not be too personal for the birthday boy or girl. Gauge how far you can go based on his or her personality. If the recipient of your message is an introvert, veer more to a generic toast. If he or she is an extrovert, go out on a limb and be a little daring with your toast (add some humor).
  6. Most importantly, Your toast should reflect how you feel about the birthday boy or girl and the relationship you have with him or her. Don't settle for a vanilla, one-size-fits-all birthday message.

How do you deliver an unforgettable toast?

Whether this is the first time you need to give a toast or the 100th, you want yours to be unforgettable. If this sounds like you, check out some amazing tips on delivering an awesome toast.

It'll only take you about a minute (just as long as your toast should be).
