Short Birthday Messages

  1. If you’re not usually keen on talking at length (or want the pre-written message in your girlfriend’s birthday card to do most of the talking), short yet sweet birthday wishes can still show her how much you care. Just remember to say something more in person if you write a short note in her card (or vice versa if you plan to give brief wishes in person and write a longer card).
    • “I’m so excited to celebrate my favorite person today. Let’s party!”
    • “Today’s a special day because it’s the day you were born—and you’re one of a kind. HBD!”

    • “My world is better with you in it. HBD!”
    • “You bring so much joy into my life, babe. Happy birthday!”
    • “Your smile can light up the darkest room. Happy birthday!”
    • “Happy birthday to my favorite person in the entire world!”

Birthday Blessings

  1. Birthday wishes with religious sentiments in them can be super touching as long as religion is something you and your girlfriend share.

    • “You’re in my prayers today and every day. I hope you get every blessing in life. Happy birthday!”
    • “May your birthday be filled with happiness, peace, and blessings. I love you!”

    • “God blessed me with the most wonderful girlfriend ever. Happy birthday!”
    • “I wish you a blessed day, my love. Happy birthday!”
