Milestone Birthday Wishes

The round birthdays, 30, 40, 50, 60 and beyond, get a different kind of wish: less cake, more looking back and looking ahead. These go on the card at the family lunch, in the WhatsApp family group on the morning, and under the photo everyone takes with the birthday person. Change the number and the line is ready.

Questions people ask

What do you write for a 50th or 60th birthday?

Look back and look ahead in two sentences: one thing the person has built or been for you over the years, and one hope for the decade starting today. For a parent, say what you learned from them. For a friend, a joke about age is fine if the line after it is sincere.

Which birthdays count as milestone birthdays?

The round ones: 18 and 21 at the young end, then 30, 40, 50, 60, 75 and beyond. In India the 60th often gets a family ceremony and a lunch, and the 75th or 80th a larger gathering with blessings from the elders. The wish simply names the number and means it.
