The Basics: How to Say “Happy Birthday” in Spanish
Let’s start with the essentials.
The most common phrase is:
🎉 Feliz cumpleaños — “Happy Birthday”
But depending on where you are, people use variations that sound a bit more natural or casual in conversation:
Felicidades — Literally “congratulations,” but often used the same way as “happy birthday.”
Feliz cumple — A friendly, shortened version (like saying “Happy B-Day”).
Que tengas un feliz cumpleaños — “May you have a happy birthday.”
Te deseo un muy feliz cumpleaños — “I wish you a very happy birthday.”
Any of these work beautifully in cards, texts, or posts — and hiwith.ai can help you design a message around them that feels as warm and stylish as it sounds.
How to Personalize Birthday Wishes in Spanish
Spanish birthday messages often go beyond “happy birthday” — they include wishes for blessings, happiness, health, and success. The tone can range from poetic and romantic to playful and funny, depending on the relationship.
Here’s a simple framework you can use:
Start with the greeting:
Feliz cumpleaños, Felicidades, or Que tengas un hermoso día.Add warmth or emotion:
Te deseo todo lo mejor en la vida. (I wish you all the best in life.)
Espero que este año te traiga mucha alegría. (I hope this year brings you lots of joy.)End with affection or humor:
Con mucho cariño, (With lots of love,)
¡A disfrutar la torta! (Time to enjoy the cake!)
When you create a card on hiwith.ai, you can even combine languages — for example, a bilingual message like “Feliz cumpleaños — you deserve all the love today!” for a fun, modern feel.
