125 Birthday Wishes for Your Brother—Whether He's a Funny or Serious Kinda Guy

There is nothing better than someone's birthday to show them how much you care. Birthdays are the perfect time to celebrate the people you love, especially when that person is your brother. When his day to shine rolls around, do you wonder what to say to wish him a happy birthday and ensure he knows how much you love him? Well, don't hold back! We say go all out and let him know how much he means to you. Sure, you can always buy him great birthday gifts, bake his favorite homemade cake, or treat him to an indulgent breakfast at a classic diner—but, heartfelt sentiments make a big impact, too.

Struggling with what to say? Don't worry, because we've rounded up some of the best birthday wishes for your brother that will make his big day even better.

Whether he's a wise-cracker with an arsenal of dad jokes or more on the serious and sentimental side, this list of birthday messages is sure to suit his unique personality. Plus, we've also included a few famous quotes about the powerful bond and joy brothers bring into their siblings' lives.

Use these birthday wishes, messages, and quotes as inspiration to write your own personal message or use them verbatim if they fit the sentiment you want to express. Remember, his birthday only comes once a year, so why not shower him with love to commemorate the day he came into the world? Regardless of who's younger or older, brothers are natural protectors and will always have your back. So, use words (and emojis) to show him that his birthday is a special day—not just for him, but for you too.
