Your boyfriend’s birthday is one of many relationship-defining moments—just barely trailing behind your anniversary, Valentine’s Day, and obviously your own birthday, which really takes precedence over all of the other dates named here, let's be home. But on his DOB, you get to prove just how much you’ve paid attention and shower him with all the adoration he might not admit he craves. Obviously, the gift you secure will do a bit of the heavy lifting here, but the message you drop in a card, IG caption, or text on his birthday will make the real imprint!

Hence why it sucks when your brain goes blank trying to think of something that'll translate all of your love sweetly and succinctly! Which is why we're swooping in with an assist. The 80 messages down below range from funny to romantic to just a little spicy, but they're all perfect notes to leave your boo with on his special day. No matter what type of sentiment you're going for, we've got messages for every vibe (yes, even song lyrics).
