Birthday Wishes
30+ Birthday Wishes for Your Girlfriend
Birthday messages early in a relationship are harder to pitch than long-established ones — too much reads as intense, too little reads as indifferent. The sets below are written at three different levels of seriousness for exactly that reason.

Frequently asked questions
What do I write in a girlfriend birthday message?
Something specific about her rather than about how you feel. One observation she would recognise as true lands better than a general compliment.
How long should a birthday message to a girlfriend be?
A text can be one or two lines. A card has room for three or four, but there is no benefit to filling the space just because it is there.
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.
