Write A Letter To Your Best Friend To Wish Him On His Birthday

There is nothing better to a friend than getting a heartfelt letter on his or her birthday. Writing letters are always special, I remember writing letters to my friends and family when I was little. This year, let’s get our writing skills back by writing a letter to send via snail mail to your best friend that he or she will cherish for the rest of the year. Below are samples to help you get started!

Write A Letter To Your Best Friend To Wish Him On His Birthday

Dear [Best Friend’s Name],

I hope you have the best birthday ever! I don’t know what I’d do without you. You’re the reason I get out of bed in the morning, and the reason that I’m always laughing about something. You are one of the most fun people I’ve ever met, and I’m so glad I can call you my best friend.

I want to wish you a happy birthday from me and from everyone else whose lives have been a little better because of your friendship. Keep being awesome!

Love, [Your Name].

Dear [friend’s name],

Happy birthday! You’re old enough to drink now, right?

I’m so glad we’ve been friends for so long. I don’t know what I’d do without you, honestly. You’re the best friend ever.

Anyway, I hope this letter finds you well and healthy—and still single. It’s okay if you’re not single anymore; I’ll be happy for you either way. But if it were up to me, I’d say “single” every time. Just kidding (sort of).

Anyway, have a great day! And don’t forget to eat cake (or whatever food you like).

Love always, [your name].

Dear [friend’s name],

Happy birthday! I know what you’re thinking: “I’m not sure if I want to hear from her.” But trust me, it’s worth it.

You are one of the best people I know and I want to thank you for being such a great friend. You’ve helped me through so many things, from my first breakup to when my dad died. You’ve always been there for me, no matter what.

I hope that today is as great for you as it can possibly be. I hope that your family makes you feel loved and appreciated, and that your friends make you feel happy and included. The world can be a hard place sometimes, but you’re a diamond in it—a shining example of everything good about humanity.

I love you so much and wish nothing but happiness for you today!

Hey [friend’s name]!

I hope you’re having a great day. I just wanted to stop by and tell you how much I appreciate our friendship, and how glad I am that you’re in my life. You’ve been there for me through some of the hardest times, and always make me laugh when I’m down. You’re such an amazing person, and I couldn’t be luckier to know you.

I just want to say thank you for being so awesome.

Love, [your name].

Dear [friend’s name],

I can’t believe it’s been a year since we started this crazy thing called friendship. I’m so glad that you were the first person who made me feel welcome and comfortable when I moved to [city]. Because of you, I’ve learned about so many things that I never knew before, like how to make perfect pancakes (from scratch!), and how to make the best mac ‘n’ cheese ever. You are one of the most interesting people I know, and I love being around you because you always have great ideas for things to do together. You’re also the best listener ever—you never judge me or try to tell me what to do, which means I can totally be myself around you!

Wishing you all the best on your special day!

Dear [friend’s name],

Happy Birthday!

I can’t believe it’s been [number of years] since we met. How time flies! I remember when you were just a little baby, and now here you are, all grown up. You’ve grown into such a thoughtful, caring person—and I want to thank you for that. You’re a great example for me and everyone else around us, and we all admire your strength and dedication.

You’re the best friend anyone could hope for. I hope this letter finds you well and happy on your special day.

Dear [friend’s name],

It’s your birthday! Happy birthday, [friend’s name].

I’m so glad you’re my best friend. You make me feel like I can do anything and be anyone. You always know what to say when I need it most, and you’re always there to listen when I need a shoulder to cry on.

You’re the best friend anyone could ask for, and I’m so glad we met. I hope your day is as great as you are!

Hey, [best friend’s name]!

I’m just writing to say happy birthday! I hope you have a good one!

I’ve been thinking about the last time we saw each other, and how much fun we had. We’re always so busy doing stuff that it’s hard to catch up with each other, but I want to make sure we do more of that in the future. You’re so important to me, and I want us to be closer than ever.

Anyway, just wanted to wish you a happy birthday—and tell you how much I love you.

Dear [name],

Happy birthday! I know it’s been a while since we’ve been in touch, but I just wanted to take a moment to wish you a happy birthday.

I hope that the next year is full of all the things you want: happiness, peace, love, and more. And I know that if anyone deserves those things, it’s you.

Please don’t forget to take care of yourself as well as everyone around you. It’s easy to get wrapped up in other people’s needs and forget your own—don’t do that! You deserve every bit as much happiness as anyone else does.

I’ll be thinking about you on your special day and hope that your day is amazing!

Dear [friend’s name],

Happy birthday! I can’t believe you’re already [age] years old. You look great, and I know you’re going to have an amazing year.

I’m so proud of you for everything you’ve accomplished. You’ve been through so much, but you keep charging forward and doing what you love—and that’s what makes me love you even more. You never give up on yourself or anyone else, and that’s something we all need in this world.

I hope you have a wonderful day filled with the people who mean the most to you, and I look forward to seeing how much more awesome your life has gotten since last year! You deserve it!

Dear [friend’s name],

Happy Birthday! I’m so excited for you today, and I hope the day brings you only the very best of everything. I know that this is a day in which we usually spend with our families, but I hope that you will be able to spend some time thinking about how much your friends love you and how much they’re thinking about you right now.

I want to thank you for being such an amazing friend over the years—and especially since we’ve known each other since childhood. You’ve always been there for me when I needed someone, and I know that no matter what happens in life, we’ll always be able to count on each other.

I can’t wait to spend more time with you on this special day!
Love, [name].

Dear [Best Friend],

It’s hard to believe it’s your birthday already! Time sure flies. We’ve been friends for what feels like forever, but also only a few years. You’re one of the truest friends I’ve ever had and I’m so grateful for you.

You’ve helped me through so many tough times, and you always have my back when I need someone to talk to. I hope you know how much you mean to me, and how much joy you bring into my life every single day.

I just wanted to take a minute today to say Happy Birthday! Wishing you all the best in this year ahead, and many more beyond that!
Love, [Your Name].

Dear [friend’s name],

Happy birthday! I know it’s a little late, but I hope you had a great day.

I’m so glad we’ve been friends for as long as we have—you’re one of the most important people in my life and I wouldn’t be who I am today without you. You’ve always had my back and made me feel like no matter what, we would be there for each other.

And that’s not just on your birthday either: it’s every day of the year. You’re always there to listen when I need advice, or just someone to talk with about whatever’s going on in my life. Thanks for being such a good friend! It means so much to me.

I hope this year is amazing for you. Have fun celebrating!

Dear [friend’s name],

Happy birthday! I’m so excited to celebrate with you. Thank you for always being there for me when I need a laugh or a hug, and for being such a good friend.

I hope you have an incredible day today, filled with all the love and joy that you deserve.

Love, [your name].

Dear [friend’s name],

Happy birthday!

I just wanted to tell you that I’m really happy for you today. I’ve known you for a long time now, and I know that your birthday is one of the best days of the year for you. Every year, it’s like you’re celebrating your whole life all over again, which is pretty awesome.

I hope this year is as good as they come—and if it’s not, then I hope next year will be even better! Either way, though, I hope that this day continues to be one of your favorites.

And most importantly—I want to wish you happiness and health on your special day. Happy birthday!

Dear [Friend’s Name],

Happy birthday! I hope you have a great day, and that the year ahead is one of the best years of your life. You deserve it, because you are one of the most kind, supportive people I know. You’re always there for me when I need help or advice, and you know just what to say when I’m feeling down. You’re also incredibly funny and smart—I love it when we hang out because our conversations are always interesting and fun.

I’m so glad that you’re in my life, and I hope this birthday brings you everything you could possibly want or need.

Love always, [your name].

Dear [name],

[Name], I’m so glad to be your best friend. You are the most amazing person I’ve ever met, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us.

I hope that this birthday is filled with all the things you love most: friends, family, and of course… cake! (But maybe not all at once.)

You are my favorite person in the world and I want nothing more than for us to spend the rest of our lives together. We’ve had some pretty tough times, but we always come out stronger on the other side—and if there’s one thing we know how to do, it’s survive!

I love you so much, [name]. Happy birthday!

Dear [friend’s name],

Happy birthday! I know you’re probably celebrating with your family today, but I wanted to take a moment to wish you well and say that I’m thinking about you.

I know we haven’t talked much lately, but it’s not because I don’t care about you. It’s just that things have been busy for me, and there are so many times when I think of all the ways that we could connect and make each other feel better, but then life keeps getting in the way. But today, on your birthday, I want to tell you how much I appreciate having you in my life.

You’ve always been there for me through everything—from my first heartbreak to when my dog died last year. You’ve listened when no one else would listen (or maybe even cared). You’ve never judged me for anything stupid or embarrassing that happened during those times in my life. And now? Now we can laugh about it together! Today is a day of celebration—celebrate with me!

Love always, [Your name].
