Generative AI supports all forms of writing, whether you’re writing an essay or a novel. But did you know AI will also help you write happy birthday wishes? If you want to write something more meaningful, humorous, or thoughtful than “happy birthday” on a card, learn about the different ways AI can assist.

Why should you use AI to write birthday wishes?

One of the major benefits of using AI for birthday wishes is that it helps you save time writing them. For example, if your coworkers pass a birthday card around the office for everyone to sign right before you surprise the birthday person, quickly turn to AI and ask it for birthday-message ideas.

Another advantage of AI is that it can refine the tone of your message. If you’re writing a birthday note for your boss or a client, you might want to keep it more formal and professional. But it’s entirely appropriate to use a humorous or casual tone in a card for a friend.

Generative AI also proofreads your happy birthday wish. Simply copy and paste what you’ve written into your AI tool and ask if there are typos or if it has suggestions to make your message more creative, sentimental, or celebratory.

“It’s important to edit whatever happy birthday wish AI writes for you. That’s because you want your note to be personal, and no one knows the recipient of your card better than you.”

How to ask AI for birthday wishes

Writing a birthday message starts with a detailed AI prompt, and the more descriptive the better. You might include how long you’ve known the person or your relationship with them, for example. Try AI birthday-message prompts like these to get started:

Write a funny happy birthday message for my sister who loves cats.
Provide examples of a short and sweet happy birthday wish for a coworker that I collaborate with regularly.
Write a fun happy birthday wish for my friend who’s turning 21.
Give me three different examples of a happy birthday wish that rhymes for someone who is turning 60.
Create a happy birthday wish for my daughter who just started college.
Write a birthday note from the point-of-view of me and my wife’s dog, Bella.

Personalizing your AI-generated birthday wish

It’s important to edit whatever happy birthday wish AI writes for you. That’s because you want your note to be personal, and no one knows the recipient of your card better than you. Feel free to tweak your AI-generated message with inside jokes or shared memories. You should also replace and remove any common AI words for an even more personalized and human message.

Adding AI-generated visuals

Feel free to let AI create visuals for your birthday card. Use these visuals for the front of the card or attach them to an email or text message to your loved ones. Personalized images make your birthday wish even more special and memorable. Go ahead and try these prompts to get started:

Create an image of an orange cat holding a birthday cake.
Make me an image of pink balloons surrounding a pink birthday cake.
Create a cartoon-style image of a pizza that uses pepperoni to spell out “Happy Birthday.”
