Design with your wishes

Sending advance happy birthday wishes can be a thoughtful way to show someone they’re already on your mind and in your heart, even before their big day arrives. It’s a sweet gesture that reflects love, excitement and genuine care – especially when life gets busy or you want to make sure your message reaches them first. But keep in mind that early birthday wishes aren’t for everyone. Some people prefer to celebrate only on their actual birthday and may not appreciate premature greetings. In fact, some may even consider it unlucky. For those who love the build-up and anticipation – whether it's a best friend who deserves all the hype or a partner you can't wait to spoil – here are some thoughtful early birthday wishes to make them feel seen and celebrated.

Happy birthday in advance wishes for best friends.

There’s something truly special about a best friend – the kind of person who knows your weirdest habits, laughs at all your silly jokes and sticks by your side through life’s ups and downs. For best friends who feel more like family, sending thoughtful advanced birthday wishes in a birthday card, video or WhatsApp sticker shows you're not just remembering their birthday; you're already looking forward to it because they’re that important to you. Reflecting on cherished memories and expressing gratitude for their friendship is a great way to start. Here are meaningful advanced happy birthday wishes to best friends to celebrate your friendship.
