Funny and quirky birthday messages for your boyfriend.

Not all birthday messages have to be serious. If your relationship is built on humour and playfulness, these light-hearted messages will make him laugh and feel loved.

  1. Happy Birthday! Now that you're older and wiser, we're another step closer to retiring on that yacht together. But for now, let's stick to cake and celebrate!
  2. It's your birthday! Time to do something incredible—like surviving another year of my terrible jokes. Don’t worry, I’ll spare you today...maybe.
  3. Happy Birthday! Consider today your day off from being perfect. Feel free to leave the dishes for tomorrow and enjoy the sweet taste of freedom!
  4. Birthday cheers, love! You're like my daily caffeine: you keep me buzzing and happily addicted. Here's to another energizing year together!
  5. Happy Birthday! You're the one who truly gets my quirks...or at least pretends to beautifully, and for that, I’m grateful. Here's to us!
  6. It's your special day! Does this mean I don’t have to share that last piece of cake? Enjoy your slice as long as you promise not to share!
  7. Happy Birthday! This year, try not to blow out your candles with such gusto that you lose your eyebrows. Remember last year's giggles?
  8. Birthday greetings! You age like fine wine, except for when you resemble that stubborn cork we always struggle with. Cheers to another fun year ahead!
  9. Happy Birthday, love! I promise to adore you even if you keep forgetting your keys for the zillionth time—it keeps things interesting!
  10. Cheers to your birthday! If anyone asks, you’re still in your twenties...somewhere in there! It’s our little secret, and the cake’s willing to keep it too.

Take your humour to the next level by creating a t-shirt or hoodie featuring his face or a hilarious design. Get creative and design and print your t-shirt directly through Adobe Express. For an added bonus, use the same design to create WhatsApp stickers that you can send to him on the day.
