Funny quotes for the 80th birthday
Jokes and funny sayings should be taken with a grain of salt. Especially for the 80th birthday, not only sayings that make fun of age can tick off. Humor can also differ greatly from generation to generation.

Today's humor often moves in gray areas, is sarcastic and is borderline. This often tends to be seen as bad manners in the older generation.
The society in which today's 80-year-olds grew up was still strongly norm-oriented. It wasn't proper to openly address uncomfortable topics like aging – let alone make fun of it.
Note that in addition to a funny saying, you should always write your own little text in which you express serious congratulations.
If you use the funny sayings properly, they can lift the mood and make both the guests and the birthday boy or girl laugh. Use them as a drinking toast or as a closing for a birthday speech.
Especially for a speech that was a bit more serious or even emotional, it pays to use a funny saying as the closing words. This will quickly get everyone back in a good mood.

A Birthday
My heart is like a singing bird
Whose nest is in a water’d shoot;
My heart is like an apple-tree
Whose boughs are bent with thickset fruit;
My heart is like a rainbow shell
That paddles in a halcyon sea;
My heart is gladder than all these
Because my love is come to me.
Raise me a dais of silk and down;
Hang it with vair and purple dyes;
Carve it in doves and pomegranates,
And peacocks with a hundred eyes;
Work it in gold and silver grapes,
In leaves and silver fleurs-de-lys;
Because the birthday of my life
Is come, my love is come to me.
(Christina Rossetti)

Wishing a happy 80th birthday
Wishing a happy 80th birthday
Modern medicine makes it possible for many people to reach the age of 80. Nevertheless, it does not mean the same for everyone. Where some are already physically breaking down and enjoying life in peace, others are still mentally young at heart and full of zest for action.
But one thing is certain: at 80, very few people are still working and their days can be used to the full. The most beautiful thing about this age is the peace and quiet. There is no longer any time pressure that could prevent you from enjoying life.
Many people at this age have children and grandchildren. In addition, their life experience has given them a wisdom that only time can bring. All of this wants to be celebrated and appreciated.

80th birthday messages
The following sample texts are a bit more personalized. Many of them contain a saying or a quotation, which will be discussed afterwards.
Even if there is a nice saying or a small poem in a birthday card, no one should fail to write their own short text in the card as well.
Sayings and poems can also be meaningful, yet a few personal words are even nicer for most people. The combination of both will make your congratulations perfect.
Let the texts inspire you. Maybe you'll even get lucky and one of them will perfectly fit the birthday boy or girl you want to congratulate on their 80th birthday.
Wishing Grandma a happy 80th birthday
Egg, is that why I turned eighty, that I should always think the same? I strive rather to think daily something different, new, in order not to become boring. One must continually change, renew, rejuvenate, so as not to become stubborn.
(Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)
Dear Grandma,
you are always cheerful, always fashionably dressed, enjoy life as it is and do not close yourself to new things. A grandma who is so open-minded and spiritually young at heart, you really do not find every day!
I am proud to have such a cool grandma and wish you for the next years that you stay as you are, lots of health and lots of energy for your drive.
Happy 80th birthday. I really love you very much.
To Grandpa on his 80th birthday
Birthday wishes to grandpa
'Nature' is what we see—
The Hill—the Afternoon—
Squirrel—Eclipse—the Bumble bee—
Nay—Nature is Heaven—
Nature is what we hear—
Thunder—the Cricket—
Nay—Nature is Harmony—
Nature is what we know—
Yet have no art to say—
So impotent Our Wisdom is
To her Simplicity.
(Emily Dickinson)

Birthday message to your friend
Life would be much nicer if we were 80-year-olds.
Born and slowly, slowly we reached 18.
(Mark Twain)
Ah, if only we had always been as wise as we are now, we would have spared ourselves many a foolishness. But I'm glad you were by my side through every foolishness and every worry, and I wouldn't want to undo anything. You can be proud of who you will be, who you are and who you have been in all your years.
Congratulations on your 80th birthday!
Gift ideas for the 80th birthday
Gifts for the 80th Birthday
Birthdays happen every year and every year creativity is again in demand. Especially with a round, high birthday like this, you certainly want to give something special.
For this reason, we have five different gift ideas for you in this chapter, which are wonderfully suitable for an 80th birthday.
A historical newspaper
What actually happened at the time the birthday boy or girl was born? Increasingly popular as gifts for the older generation are historical newspapers. You can choose them by the year and even by the exact date of birth and order them online.
People over 80 in particular spend a lot of time mentally in the past, because that's where they still had adventures, were vital and fit, and long to go back to 'the good old days'. A historical newspaper can bring this feeling even closer to them. Without question, the person celebrating will be delighted with this special gift.
Engraving and printing
Having things engraved and printed is not only beautiful and easy, but also personal. Consider beforehand whether the birthday boy or girl with his proud 80 years still drinks alcohol or rather reaches for coffee or tea. Depending on this, you can, for example, engrave a whiskey or wine glass or have a cup printed.
Anything made of glass is suitable for engraving: choose one of our short 80th birthday wishes or think about a short dedication, such as "For my dearest grandma on her 80th from your granddaughter Klara".
Cup printing even offers the possibility to put joint photos on a cup. It's best to choose a photo of the whole family or both of you as a personalized gift.
If the 80-year-old loves to cook, a cutting board with engraving is also suitable. This can also be ordered online or made at most Christmas markets.
A memory album
A memory album for the 80th birthday
You can either make it yourself, buy it in a bookstore, or order it online: A memory album is always a good idea! It's a great way for grandma and grandpa to leave great stories for their grandchildren, or for mom and dad to leave great stories for their kids.
The memory album should make the birthday child think intensively about important moments in his life. Not only does it put them in a good mood and support a positive look back at the past, it may also evoke memories that had long been forgotten.
Written memory album
If you want to make a written memory album by yourself, you should write explicit questions in it and leave enough space for the answers. Question for example:
• Who are you particularly remembered from your elementary school days?
• How did you actually meet grandpa / dad?
• What is your fondest childhood memory?
The more specific the questions, the better chance you have of learning as much as you can. It's also a great experience to look at the memory album together at some point.
Framing a saying or poem
Particularly suitable here are life mottos or generally held sayings. A "Happy 80th Birthday" certainly no one wants on his wall.
A "love-box"
A love box as a gift
A self-designed "love-box" is also suitable as a gift for the 80th birthday. It's not only a great gift for couples, because you can't tell your parents and grandparents often enough what you love about them.
All you need is a sealable container, such as a jar with a screw top or a small cardboard box – and strips of paper.
On each strip, write what you like or appreciate about the birthday girl or boy. In principle, you can write down anything you've always wanted to say.
• I like your calming manner.
• I don't know anyone who cooks as well as you.
• Your style of dress is the best!
• I love that I can tell you anything.
• I have one of the prettiest grandmas I know.
• You really are still in great shape for your age.
• I love your stories.
• I like it when you play the accordion.
• Thank you for teaching me so much.
• I love that you're the only person I know who gets up cheerfully at 6am.
• I love your patience.
• Your hairstyle is elegant and timeless.
• Thank you for always being there for me.
