Celebrating a friend’s birthday is always lots of fun but making sure it is extra-special can be hard. In this blog, I’ll be sharing 6 of my best birthday card ideas for friends who deserve the perfect birthday.

Choosing the card

When choosing a friend’s birthday card, I think you should always pick one that matches their personality, hobbies and, of course, your bond with them. Having these things in mind is a great way to show you care and could be as easy as choosing a card design with a funny cartoon, a cute character or a sweet message. A gesture as simple as this will make your friend feel special and appreciated when you wish them a happy birthday.

If cute characters and sweet birthday messages are the perfect sentiment for your best friend’s birthday card, they will love any of the options below!

Find the perfect birthday card for your friends.

Writing a birthday message

Writing a birthday card for your friend, is a great opportunity to show your love and gratitude towards them. You could recall fond memories and inside jokes that you’ve shared together, making the card feel personal and meaningful. Or, reflect on their unique qualities, strengths and let them know how much they mean to you. Whether you’re crafting a heartfelt message or sharing a funny memory, the key to making your friend feel extra-special, is being genuine and sincere.

Including a photo

Adding a photo to a birthday card for your friend is a wonderful way to celebrate your special bond and cherish the memories you’ve shared together. Whether it’s a photo from a fun day out, a silly selfie, or a nostalgic throwback from years past, including a photo adds a very-special personal touch. When your friend opens the card and sees the familiar image, they’ll be reminded of the laughter, adventures, and special moments you’ve shared – making celebrating their birthday with you, feel even more lovely.

Celebration in a card

Writing a heartfelt message is nice. But, if you need ideas for celebrating a super-fun friends birthday, this is the perfect birthday card idea for you! Once you have chosen a lovely card and written a wonderful message, try stuffing the envelope full of confetti or glitter.

This will be a fun surprise that will last for weeks (that stuff gets everywhere) and is s a great idea for celebrating a cheeky friends birthday!

Decorating the envelope

I think, decorating the envelope of the card you send your friend, adds extra excitement to the celebrations. It shows your friend you care about every detail of their special day and makes opening the card even more wonderful, especially if you decorate it with little heartfelt messages or funny birthday drawings.

Special delivery

The one thing your friend will enjoy the most on their birthday? Seeing you! That’s why, going out of your way to hand deliver your wonderful besties card is my number 1 birthday card idea!

Sometimes, that’s not possible. So here is another lovely idea – write a little note on the envelope of your friend’s birthday card, encouraging them to video call you when they open it. That way, you can be with them in spirit and still enjoy their special day, even if it’s from a far!

I hope you now have lots of birthday card ideas for making your friends day extra-special! If you decide to give any of these ideas a go, make sure to share a photo to Instagram and tag me @Boofleofficial!
