12 Creative and Funny Ways to Say Happy Birthday
Here are some unique and clever ways to touch someone’s heart with a Happy Birthday, including your family, friends, and co-workers. Writing something like “happy birthday, you are the light of our life” with a glow pen somewhere they can see it in the dark is a sure way of surprising your family, especially your children. You can leave a birthday wishes note in a bottle or balloon or tape it to the bottom of a glass for friends and co-workers. It will be exciting for them to find it and read it.
- You can simply write over balloons with markers and decorate them with pictures or stickers. For a co-worker, create a bouquet with colorful balloons instead of flowers for their table.
- Tuck in a handmade birthday bookmark with a personalized message wishing your friends and family, especially your dad or mom, inside a book by their favorite writer.
- Use a small scrapbook to collect and paste your favorite yesteryear memories, design around these, and write your wishes. You can make it fun for them with one-line quotes such as things you told them or they told you.
- One of the ideas people use is to create a collage of old pictures and gift it to them. For example, for a co-worker, you can try to collect a message from everyone on a blank surface, like a giant coffee mug, and gift it to them. This clever idea is sure to make them smile.
- Your local photo studio may offer many services, like printing pictures and messages on mugs, mousepads, t-shirts, pillows, and other surfaces. So use this opportunity to write your heart out and wish someone in a unique style.
- For a special someone, like a spouse or lover, you can print an ad in your local paper and wish them a happy birthday with a loving message.
- Be creative and write, sing out, or print a happy birthday message in another language.
- When it comes to family, you can take them to the beach where you can surprise them by writing happy birthday on the sand with a heart around it or make it unique and design it with small shells and rocks.
- You can make a video message for them. Or you can also add favorite pictures and old videos, edit them, and put them on video.
- For colleagues or friends, you can sing and record a happy birthday song sung in a funny manner or a funny video with a happy video message and send it to them via message, email, or fax. This is one of the clever ideas to make their big day memorable.
- Another unique idea is to surprise them with a happy birthday banner or poster hung in a place where they least expected.
- You can place a cookie, pastry, or cake with icing wishing them a happy birthday and setting it on a table to find it and surprise them.
- Be clever and make a treasure chest of sorts. Put a couple of small items or gifts in them. This doesn’t mean you have to add anything useful; you can add funny little toys or things that can make them laugh or cheer them up.
- Though writing a birthday poem is a traditional way of giving wishes, give it a unique twist by keeping it short, meaningful, and funny.
- Birthdays are about celebration, a day to look forward to because it is just about you; it is about making it through another year of life after all the trials and tribulations of life. We all love receiving birthday wishes and presents, even if we don’t really celebrate them. So wishing someone is a way of letting people know that they mean a lot to you, and that’s why you care to remember their big day. The truth is simple and creative ideas can go further than costly gifts in letting people know how much you value them.
