Classmates are the people we shared first lessons, tests, graduation and the funniest childhood adventures with. Wishing a former classmate happy birthday is a chance to remember school days and wish them success in adult life. Below are birthday wishes for a female or male classmate: short ones, from the whole class, for former classmates, funny wishes and poems. Wishes for other recipients, from Mum to a colleague, are collected in birthday wishes for family, friends and colleagues.
