Can you believe it has been a whole year? One minute they are a tiny burrito wrapped in a blanket, and the next they are cruising the coffee table and pushing fistfuls of frosting into their ears. Writing first birthday wishes is an odd job, though, because the guest of honor cannot read a word of them.
The card really has two audiences. The parents read it today, and the kid might find it in a memory box at twenty, so warm enough to keep and short enough to fit on the page is the sweet spot.
Below are over 300 first birthday wishes sorted by who is sending them, plus funny lines, faith-based blessings, quotable one-liners, and short options sized for a text or a photo caption. Copy any of them as they are, or use one as a starting point and drop the birthday kid’s name in front.
