Teenage birthdays hit different. One year it’s balloons and cake; the next it’s an eye-roll if you even mention candles. Finding the right words to match? Not easy — too sweet and it sounds like a card for a kid, too stiff and it sounds like it’s from someone who’s never actually met them.
That’s what this list is for. Funny lines to make them laugh, sweet ones to make them feel loved, and inspiring ones for the big stuff they’re figuring out — all written to actually sound like something a teenager would want to read, not something recycled off a card rack.
