Thank you quotes for friends for birthday wishes

Receiving happy birthday wishes on your birthday can feel great! Being acknowledged feels awesome.

I love waking up on my birthday and already have a happy birthday text message from my mom and siblings. And I share my birthday with my twin brother making it extra special.

This post is all about saying thank you for the birthday wishes. With current technology and social media, you probably received many happy birthday mentions on Facebook or text messages from family and friends. Or from your boss or coworkers, you may get a birthday email or instant message (Discord, Slack, Teams, etc.).

The example messages and tips will focus on expressing your gratitude and appreciation for birthday wishes. If you received birthday gifts, cards, or flowers or want to thank someone for coming to your birthday party celebration, you may also want to read through these posts:

• Thank you messages for birthday gifts and cards
• Thank you for the birthday flowers
• Thank you for coming to my birthday party

With most happy birthday wishes being expressed on Facebook, Instagram, or other social media or in a birthday text message, writing a handwritten thank you note is not necessary. Instead, you can say thank you on social media or by responding to a text message.

If someone gave you a gift and wished you a happy birthday, you can combine examples from this post with a birthday gift thank message. Remember that you should thank people for gifts individually (not in a Facebook status post where most people probably wished you a happy birthday but didn’t give you a gift).

How To Say Thank You for Birthday Wishes on Facebook

If you are on Facebook, some of your friends and family likely wished you a happy birthday on Facebook. For me, most people write a Happy Birthday Message on my page, with a few sending a message using Facebook Messenger.

Here are a couple of ways for how to say thank you for the birthday wishes on Facebook:

• Respond to each message. You can reply to each individual happy birthday wish written on your page with a quick “thank you” or “thank you so much.” You can write a longer response if you want to (depending on the happy birthday wish or who wished you a happy birthday).
• Update your status. You can also write a status message to thank everyone that wished you a birthday. For example, you could use a message from the short Short Thank You Messages for Birthday Wishes section below. Or one of the longer examples.
• Respond with Messenger. If you’ve received a manageable number of direct messages via Facebook Messenger, respond to each message in Messenger.

Sometimes a short thank you for the birthday wishes message is all you need. Or the messages in this section can be a great way to start a longer thank-you message.
