30 Unforgettable Birthday Wishes for the Special People in Your Life

A loved one’s birthday is coming around, and your pen hovers over the card as your mind scrambles for things to say. As much as we love a person, sometimes it’s just difficult for us to put our deepest thoughts and feelings into words. Plus, knowing that it’s important isn’t helping!

Luckily, we at Dawn Q have experienced enough birthdays to know which wishes are short, simple and sweet enough to make an impact. Ahead, we present a list of 30 birthday greetings. Whether it’s for a dear friend, beloved family members, or your soulmate, here are the best ways to say happy birthday!
