60 Birthday Wishes for Your Best Friend on Their Special Day

Rejoice! It's your best friend’s birthday. Anyone who is lucky enough to have such an impactful person (think: a Gayle to their Oprah or vice versa) in their life knows that this momentous occasion is also a reason for you to celebrate, because they're the ones who help us through the biggest hurdles and inspire us to thrive.Once a year, we get a chance to gush over our loved ones and take time to reflect on the value they bring. Whether you're attaching a heartfelt card to their gift, hunting for a unique Instagram caption to accompany that hilarious friend meme you're posting in their honor, or you're simply looking for a meaningful birthday message to text them, there's a birthday wish here that will capture your sisterly bond.

Some are funny and teasing—in the kind of way that only besties can get away with—where as others are short and sweet, yet touching enough that they'll be reminded of just how much you care.
