2. I am grateful you’re the best friend I’ve ever had. You’re so beautiful, intelligent, and funny—I can’t believe you’re turning [age] today. I’ll miss you when you go to college next year, but I know that as long as we’re in touch and keep in touch. We’ll always be best friends. Enjoy the rest of your birthday.

You’re the most incredible person I know, and I am so thankful we have each other. No matter what, you are always there for me. You’re a fantastic listener. May your day be full of joy, love, and laughter—like you are every day.
4. I’m so excited about your birthday, [name]! You are one of the most incredible humans I’ve ever met, and I am so blessed to have you in my life.

6. Happy birthday, dear [name]. You’re so much more than a friend to me. You’re family, and that’s the best thing in the world. I’ve had so many beautiful experiences with you over the years, and I can’t wait to have even more. We’ve laughed and cried together. Now we’re ready to move on to the next phase of our lives together, and as we do that and grow older, I want you to know how much I love you and appreciate everything you’ve done for me. You are an incredible friend who has taught me so much about myself and life in general—and I will always be grateful for that alone. But really? It’s not enough for me to say “Thank you” or “I love you” because those things don’t tell you how important you are to me or how much joy you give me every day. They don’t capture all the beautiful memories we’ve shared.
7. It’s been such a joy getting to know you over the years—and I’m so happy to celebrate this special day with you. You are one of the most caring, thoughtful people I know, and it’s been an honor to get to know you better over the last few years. When we first met, I remember thinking that you seemed too good to be true. But then I got to know you better and discovered that your heart is even bigger than it appears at first glance. You’re always there for me when I need someone to lean on or give me a hug when I need one. And though we don’t see each other as often as we used to (I miss those days!), when we do get together again, all our old memories come flooding back and make us feel like kids all over again. You mean so much to me, [name], and I’m thankful for our friendship. Happy birthday.
8. I wish you a happy birthday, my dear friend. It’s tough to find someone genuine and wonderful as you are, I know you’ve been through some hard times, but today is your day filled with lots of joy and happiness. I’m so glad to be celebrating your birthday with you today! It is an honor for me to be in your life and call you a friend.
9. Dear friend, I’m so happy we’ve been friends for as long as we have. You’re the person who always makes me feel better about myself and my life. The last few years have been especially hard for me—they’ve tested my resolve and self-confidence in many ways. But you’ve been there every step of the way. You’ve helped me laugh through the tears and celebrate my wins, even when they were small ones. You’ve always believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself, and I am genuinely grateful. So here’s to happy birthday to you and many more years of friendship.
