30+ Birthday Wishes for Your Boyfriend
Most birthday messages to a boyfriend get sent as a text rather than written in a card, which changes what works — shorter, more conversational, less formal. The three sets below cover the range.

Frequently asked questions
What should I text my boyfriend on his birthday?
Something short and specific in the morning, then say the longer thing in person. A text does not need to carry the whole message.
Is a funny birthday message appropriate?
If teasing is how you normally talk to each other, yes. It only misfires when the usual register between you is more serious.
Are these birthday wishes free to use?
Yes. Every line is original to Saylines and free to use in a message, card or post without credit.
