Ideas to help you add a personal touch

We understand this list is helpful, but ultimately it’s full of wishes written by people you do not know. That’s why we have put together some unique ideas to help you craft the perfect birthday message for your uncle.

1. Tell a Story

Think of one moment that you and your uncle shared. Bring it up in your message. It can be something as small as a road trip you went on together, or something as simple as your uncle pointing out the moon to you when you were younger. Bonus points if you make him cry.

2. Include a Family Reference

Say something that will make your uncle instantly think of another member of your family. Reference a family game you always play every holiday, mention his ridiculous nickname, or tell an inside joke.

You know your uncle better than we ever could. Pair one of our happy birthday wishes for Uncle with a personal message that’ll remind him of just how special he is to you.

3. Add a Personal Dua or Prayer

Similar to tip #2, if your family is spiritual, you can make your own personal dua for your uncle. Try writing something like, “May God continue to give you the strength and kindness you have given others your whole life.” Prayer + specificity = 🔥.

4. Tell Him What He Means to You Now

He, you remember tip #1? This is sort of like that, but flipped around. Tell your uncle what he means to you in your current life. Maybe he still helps you with your biggest life decisions, or maybe his chicken parm always hits the spot when you need comfort. Tell him that you appreciate it.

5. Give Him Something Physical

We love us some good written-to-heart birthday wishes for Uncle, but you can’t go wrong with a handwritten note in his birthday card. Try sending him a voice note if you and your uncle are apart, or search your old photos for one of you two together as kids. It may seem small, but when you pair a meaningful message with something he can hold onto afterwards, you’ve got a winner.
