20 Heartwarming Birthday Quotes to Celebrate Best Friends
Commemorate your friend's special day with a funny or heartfelt message.
She’s loved you at your worst, celebrated you at your best, and been there for all the ups and downs and in-betweens. Now that it’s your best friend’s birthday—milestone or not!—tell her much she means to you with one of these sweet and thoughtful birthday wishes. Whether you’re looking for something heartfelt (“Friends are the siblings God never gave us”) or something on the lighter side (“We’ve been friends so long I’ve forgotten which of us is the bad influence”) you can’t go wrong with one of these best friend birthday sentiments. A simple text, Instagram caption, or even a birthday cake featuring one of these quotes will no doubt make her day, but if you want to go the extra mile, you can share your kind words courtesy of a DIY birthday card coupled with a clever, unique, so-undeniably-her best friend birthday gift (cue the elated, open-jawed response of “Where’d you find that?!”). Of course, the best gift you can give is the gift of your company—and, perhaps, belly-aching, roll-on-the-floor laughter courtesy of those inside jokes only the two of you get.
