How to Personalise Your Birthday Message to Your Brother

While ready-made messages are a lifesaver, there’s nothing quite like a birthday wish that feels totally personal. If you want to write something that’s straight from the heart (or cheeky in just the right way), here are a few tips to make your message stand out.

Start with how you normally talk
If you’re always joking with your brother, keep it casual and funny. If you tend to get sentimental, don’t hold back. It should sound like you — not a greeting card.
Mention a shared memory
It could be a holiday disaster, a childhood prank, or that one time you laughed until you cried. Personal touches like these make the message feel one-of-a-kind.
Tell him what he means to you
Even if you’re not the mushy type, a line or two about why he matters to you will mean more than you think.
Add something specific to this year
Whether he’s starting a new job, becoming a dad or just smashing life, referencing what he’s up to shows you’re paying attention.
End with a signature sign-off
Finish on a warm or funny note — something you’d actually say in real life. Whether it’s “cheers to you,” “love ya loads” or a classic “happy birthday, loser,” make it your own.

Pro tip: If you’re pairing your message with a gift, think about something that ties into your shared memories, and that is where our collection comes in: we have a wide range of birthday gifts for brother including birthday jewellery, necklaces, coin bracelets, coin keyrings, cufflinks, and more!
