Happy birthday, best friend!
Let's all be honest, one of the hardest decisions for you to make on your friend's birthday is which embarrassing picture of them to post on social media. I know I always rummage through my old Snapchat photos and videos in the search of the perfect memories to showcase on my best friend's birthday.
Along with the perfect picture collage for Instagram comes the perfect Instagram caption to go along with it — simply saying 'Happy Birthday' has been done before... so cliché.
If you don't wish your friends a happy birthday over social media, it can also be helpful to find other cute text messages you can send them when the clock strikes midnight. Whether you are a long, sentimental paragraph maker, or a cute emoji sender, there are a bunch of creative ways to wish your best friend a happy birthday for the best year ever.
Here are 15 happy birthday quotes to send to your best friends on their big day — regardless if it is their 21st or 50th birthday!
