Another year, another candle on the cake! Whether it’s for your bestie, your baby brother, your mother-in-law, or even that new coworker that you don’t really quite know yet, if you’re anything like me, you can get a serious case of writer’s block when the time comes around to sign the birthday card. If you can relate, take a page out of my book and feel free to use one of these birthday quotes! From a wide variety of sources, I like to think there is something for anyone!

When it's one of my best friend's big days, I like putting together a little gift package featuring some of the quotes below. You can't go wrong with a fun card or photo block personalized with an inspirational message. I even throw in their pic from our last girls' weekend for an extra personal touch.

Plus with our same-day pickup at CVS or Walgreens, I know that I can snag a gift the day-of. That way if I forget until the last minute (oops!), I know I can still swing by and nab their present without missing the party!

1. "Happy birthday! Wishing you a day filled with love, laughter, and lots of cake!"
2. "Another year older, another year wiser. Happy birthday!"
3. "May your birthday be as amazing as you are. Have a fantastic day!"
4. "Sending you my warmest wishes on your special day. Happy birthday!"
5. "Happy birthday! May this year bring you endless joy and happiness."
6. "Wishing you a day full of surprises and a year full of success. Happy birthday!"
7. "Cheers to another trip around the sun! Happy birthday!"

1. "On your special day, I hope all your dreams and wishes come true. Happy birthday!"
2. "Sending you hugs, kisses, and best wishes on your birthday. Enjoy your day!"
3. "Happy birthday! May this year be the best one yet!"
