Best birthday wishes for a best friend
Happy Birthday, bestie! Have a day as amazing as you are!
Wishing you the best birthday ever! You’re only as old as you feel and when we’re together we act like a couple of teenagers, so let’s keep that feeling going! Love you!
You’re the best friend I could have hoped for. I wanted to take the opportunity to say that on your special day, and I hope that we celebrate many more together. Happy birthday love!
Funny happy birthday wishes for a friend
They say old is gold, if that’s true, then you are my 24 karat partner in crime and I hope you continue to be for many years to come! Happy birthday!
"Growing old gracefully" – now there’s a phrase that doesn’t apply to either of us! Let’s party until we drop and grow old disgracefully together forever!
I will still love you when you are old and wrinkly and smell like cough drops, because that’s what best friends are for, after all. Happy birthday!
Sending you birthday love! They say age is just a number, and it’s true… just that in your case it’s a very big number!
I was going to post some embarrassing old photos of you online for your birthday, until I realized you must have an equal amount of mortifying pics of me stored away somewhere… Let’s agree to hold those only for blackmail purposes, 😛 Happy Birthday bestie!
Sentimental birthday wishes for a best friend
You’ve been there with me through thick and thin, good and bad, always by my side with a kind word or helpful advice. Thank you so much for everything, you’re truly the best friend I could hope for and I wish you nothing but the best on your special day. Happy birthday!
In some ways it feels like no time has passed since we first met all those years ago, but then I look at the photos and think OMG – we were just babies! It’s been such a joy having you in my life and I feel so lucky to be able to call you my best friend. Happy Birthday love!
Who would have thought, all those years ago when we first met, that we would be here now, still laughing, joking, crying and dancing together like teenagers? I’m so happy we met, you’ve lit up my life since you came into it and I hope you know how much I appreciate having a best friend like you. Wishing you the happiest birthday!
There’s no day more perfect to let you know how much you mean to me. Your friendship is the greatest gift I ever could have wished for, and I want you to have the most wonderful birthday. I love you so much!
You are an absolute star and have brightened my life since the moment we met. Wishing you a day filled with wonder, as beautiful as you are. Happy birthday to my best friend.
