😄 Funny wishes (for people you know well)

Light humour about age works only with those who appreciate it. The key is to close with an affectionate wish, so the message stays fun rather than sharp.

  Copy

• Many happy returns! The years go by, but you carry them with a certain elegance... most of the time.

  Copy

• Happy birthday! Do not worry: we counted the candles on the cake with a calculator.

  Copy

• Best wishes! Remember: it is not the age you have, but the age you claim. And your claim is very convincing.

💬 Short wishes for WhatsApp and messages

On WhatsApp a short message works best, maybe with an emoji: it should be read at a glance and land straight away.

📅 The trick to never forget an important date

The right words are of little use if the wish arrives late. Birthdays, anniversaries and recurring dates have a flaw: they come back every year, always on the same day, and yet we still manage to forget them.

In MiRicordi you save the date once and the reminder repeats itself every year: the alert arrives on your phone even with the app closed, so you have plenty of time to pick the right words — maybe from this page.
