Funny birthday messages – the best way to give a cheap present? Well you know what they say: laughter is the greatest gift.
Making someone laugh on their birthday is a fantastic thing to do. If you get the opportunity to do so, you’d want to grab that chance. Including a hilarious quote in a birthday card is the perfect way to do this, be it being sent to a friend or family member.
And as most birthday messages are usually pretty boring, a funny birthday wish could be just what the doctor ordered.
So use some of the crazy birthday wishes below in your card or in person and start someone’s birthday with a smile!
The last thing you want to do is offend someone on their big day. So keep in mind the type of person your message is for. If they’re the sensitive type or you don’t know them that well then it might be best to stick to a regular message.
