There are several ways to mark such a joyous occasion as one’s birthday. First, there’s the unsurpassed classic of getting your friends and family together for a celebratory dinner, cake, and maybe some beverages afterward. Then there’s the weekend escape with your loved one to a cozy place somewhere. Then, of course, if you work in an office or anywhere with other people involved, there’s the inevitably awkward congratulation cake and limp-fish handshake party. But you know what could make this kind of a get-together that much better? Cool birthday puns! 

As you’re about to see, happy birthday puns can be absolutely excellent, especially at relieving the tension of having to sit through your coworkers’ rendition of the Happy Birthday song performed off-key and off-beat. And if you’d serve these creative birthday puns at a one-per-minute rate, you might just have the birthday cake and eat it too (as your comrades will definitely announce an early end to the party). 

Since you, our dedicated reader, already know that we just can’t get enough of unique puns dedicated to some specific topic, it’s probably no surprise that we also made a list of original happy birthday puns meant to mark the passing of your years. Of course, there will be funny puns about commemoratory cakes, exultant presents, and birthday wishes. There will also be some cat birthday puns on you getting older and none the wiser, but with cats. In other words - exactly what the doctor prescribed to make your birthday an exclusive occasion. That is if you choose to serve these birthday card puns to your party guests. If not - it’s entirely your choice, but then your affair will undoubtedly lack some pomp. 

Anyway, funny puns or not - birthdays are always worthy of a celebration! And whether you are picking some birthday puns for your own jubilee or to be scribbled onto a greeting card and lousily shoved into your friend’s hand - you’ll find what you seek for just a couple of inches below. So don’t forget to vote for these happy birthday puns and tell us which ones you like the most!

What is a Unique way to Wish a Birthday? 

When time comes to extend your birthday wishes to someone special or someone you’d like to impress with your efforts, it is natural to look for the most unique ways to wish them a Happy Birthday. That said, not all of us can be exceptionally creative under such pressure and might need a bit of assistance in figuring out exciting and memorable ways to wish someone the very best birthday. Worry not, though; we have some ideas about unique wishes to share with you: 

Customized Happy Birthday Puns — who doesn’t like birthday puns? And if you were to make it custom by including the person’s name or something they like into your birthday card pun, it would be a bazillion times better!

Message on a Cake — okay, this might sound a bit cheesy, but admit it: an edible birthday wish really is a super double feature. 

Wishes Tied to Hobbies — if the person in question is crazy about their hobby, be it knitting, skiing, or whatever else, it might be nice to customize your wishes according to that. And if the person’s hobby includes animals, you can always use one or two awesome horse, rabbit, or dog birthday puns to really impress them. 

Adventure Map this one requires a bit more effort and preparation, but if you’re set to impress, then creating a personalized adventure map is an instant wow factor. Don’t forget to include these cute birthday puns in it, though!

Time Capsule — similar to an adventure map, a time capsule also requires a bit of work. But, if you have quite a few fun keepsakes from the time the two of you were young and wild, why not put them in some nice jar or a box, add some happy birthday puns, and give it to them as your birthday wish? 

Of course, these are just a few ideas on unique ways to say happy birthday to someone, and you can always figure out something completely different, crazy, and one-of-a-kind that we’re sure your friend will like and appreciate! That said, adding a crazy pun, something like a dinosaur birthday pun, into your wish is always a nice touch, wouldn’t you agree?

Aside from the joke aspect, balloons really, really need to stop being a thing...they’re so bad for the environment and kill so many creatures. Sea turtles run the risk of extinction because of them.
