There is something about your son’s birthday that hits differently. One moment he is a tiny bundle you are carrying around the house at 3am, and the next he is towering over you, raiding the fridge, and pretending he is too cool for a hug. Blink and another year has flown by.

Whether he is turning one, twelve, or twenty one, the birthday message you write is the part he will actually keep. Long after the cake is finished and the balloons have deflated, your words are the thing that stays. So if you are staring at a blank card wondering what to say, take a breath. We have gathered 40 birthday wishes for your son, sorted by mood, so you can find the one that sounds like you.
