There are many ways to wish someone well on their birthday. Here are a few fluent and natural expressions:
âWishing you a fabulous birthday!â
âHope you have a wonderful day!â
âMay your day be filled with laughter and love.â
âHave the best birthday ever!â

YouTube birthday greeting videos
Voice practice apps
Language exchange partners

At English with Janet, we believe that language learning is about more than textbooks and testsâitâs about connection, expression, and joy. So why not make birthdays part of that journey?
Whether youâre sending a birthday message to a fellow learner or creating a card for a student, your words can encourage someone to keep going and celebrate how far theyâve come. Fluency is not just a goalâitâs a journey made up of small wins. Let birthdays be one of those wins.
