A son’s birthday is a celebration not only for him but also for his parents — after all, they are the ones who gave him life. Here you will find birthday wishes for parents on their son’s birthday — for mom and dad together and separately, for parents of a grown-up son, plus wishes on a daughter’s birthday, short messages and poems. Wishes for other recipients, from Mum to a colleague, are collected in birthday wishes for family, friends and colleagues.
Congratulations on your son’s birthday! Health to him, and joy and pride to you.
Happy birthday to your boy! May he grow up happy.
Congratulations on your son’s special day! Peace and warmth to your family.
Happy birthday to your daughter! May she always shine.
Toasts for the birthday table
Let's raise our glasses to the person we're celebrating today! May your life hold as much joy as there are guests around this table.
They say happiness is being understood. So here's to always having people around who understand you without words!
To health that never fails, dreams that come true and friends who never disappear. Cheers!
May the coming year bring more travel than worries and more reasons to celebrate than to fret!
Celebrating from afar
A video call at a good time — arrange it in advance so the birthday person can talk without rushing.
A voice message — a real voice feels warmer than text, especially for older relatives.
Flower delivery — a bouquet with a card delivered in the morning makes a lovely surprise.
A group video greeting — collect short wishes from mutual friends and edit them into one video.
Poems for parents

May your son bring you joy and pride, May your home be warm and bright, With love and laughter side by side And every day filled with delight!
Flowers for the birthday boy’s mom

To enjoy their son’s successes, to receive his care and to gather as a family more often.
Should I give mom flowers on her son’s birthday?
