What to Write in a Funny Birthday Card

They are part of our lives, whether we love them or not. They are a sign of growing older and wiser, and often mark important life milestones. Many people agree that birthdays become less fun after a certain age. Some people feel dread as they get older, and can also be a reminder that life is short.
Birthdays shouldn’t be depressing or lonely. They should bring joy and celebrate. A birthday card should make the recipient smile. You can make a friend’s or family member’s birthday more joyful by sending them funny birthday cards with a humorous quip.
Age Antics

While there is nothing wrong in aging, it can also be an enjoyable part of life. Be aware of the impact it may have on the recipient’s feelings if you include a joke in your birthday cards. Be respectful and condescending. Otherwise, you could end up hurting the feelings of your friend and cause problems in your relationship. Keep it innocent and keep your wits about you.

Birthdays are always popular with jokes about the recipient’s age. If the recipient is sensitive to this topic, you may not want to use them. If they are not sensitive, you can still send them. Let them know when they reach a milestone age like 30, 50 or 50. You have more ammunition if you are younger than them.

Happy Birthday. Thank you for being always older than me.
Another year older, another year closer the grave!
You’re now done! You can still get senior citizen benefits.

Jokes about relationships

Consider your relationship with the recipient to find the best joke for your birthday card. Is it your sibling? Your spouse? A friend? Each person has their own set of jokes. To make your birthday joke more funny, consider your relationship status.

Honey, it’s not necessary to do the dishes on your special day. You can do it tomorrow.
What does it mean to be a true friend? A friend who not only remembers your birthday, but also your age.
The best gift you can give someone is to know them. Your Facebook wall will be filled with birthday wishes from people that you haven’t met, never seen in years or simply couldn’t care less about.

Funny Quotes

No matter what holiday or occasion you celebrate, quotes are great for cards. Choose a quote that you find funny and which is relatable to the recipient of your birthday card. To make your message even more powerful, you can use one from their favorite comedian or prankster to make it more relatable.
