No insults here - you add those as necessary…

Birthday Messages for a Girlfriend

You already know your girlfriend makes your life brighter and every day seem fuller. Here are some birthday messages that are as sweet and unique as she is, and guaranteed to make her feel loved and appreciated. You can thank us later…

Now, before we get started, here are some quick tips.

And you’ll notice, we’ve not done it for the other sections. Just the boys.

So take note…

If you're writing a card, want to be romantic and for her to feel special (and let’s face it, if you don’t, why are you here?).

Remember to tell her how you feel at the end - and sometimes at the beginning before these messages, too.

That means start it with something that feels natural to you. Don’t overdo it. You know where you are in your relationship.

But don’t just say ‘To Lucy’ (I’m cringing already)

Try ‘To my beautiful Lucy’
or
‘To my darling Lucy’, if that feels natural to you…

Then sign off after the message with love, or all my love, not just ‘from’.

She’s your girlfriend. Make sure she knows what you think of her.

Now, here are the messages to go with that…

Happy Birthday to my fantastic girlfriend! Hope today is as amazing as you are.
It's your special day, and I've got only one goal: to make you smile as much as possible. Let's start with breakfast in bed and go from there?
Happy Birthday to the one who steals the covers but also steals my heart every single day. Looking forward to celebrating your day with you.

Hope you have a day as sweet and lovely as you are. Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday, love! I’m ready to spoil you rotten today. Whatever you want, consider it done. Yes, even if it means watching that film you love.
Happy Birthday to the one who makes every moment brighter. I promise to make it as unique and unforgettable as you are to me.
It’s your birthday, and I’m lucky to be a part of it. Let’s fill the day with memories just as beautiful as our time together.
Happy Birthday, darling. Celebrating you is easy because of the special lady you are. I hope today brings you all the happiness you give to me.
