birthday wishes

Celebratory sentiments sent

Birthday wishes are expressions of goodwill, happiness, or congratulations offered to someone on their birthday.

The phrase typically refers to the collective sentiments conveyed through cards, messages, or spoken words: I sent her my birthday wishes on Facebook.

Birthday wishes range from simple greetings like "happy birthday" to elaborate personal notes.

The term also appears in the singular when someone is invited to make a wish, traditionally while blowing out candles on a cake.
