You know right away that you're going to have a great birthday when you wake up to find notification after notification of well wishes from friends and family. All of that social media love is pretty much the equivalent of a sweet slice of birthday cake. That’s why you want to make sure you’re delivering the greatest Instagram captions for birthday wishes on your bestie’s big day. It’s already hard enough choosing which adorable selfie or hilarious throwback pic you want to post, so making sure you’re prepared with a good birthday caption is key.

As someone who fully understands how important a birthday is, you know what your bestie wants to hear. Go with something sweet, if you know your friend is sentimental. Post your favorite memories together in a birthday photo-dump and use a happy birthday caption that encapsulates all the mushy feels. If you’d rather make your bestie laugh out loud, pick a hilarious throwback pic and use a punny birthday quote. Since your priority is focusing on your BFF and making sure this is the best birthday ever, your posting process should be quick and easy. The cake and ice cream is calling your name, after all. So, instead of putting a pause on the party fun, just use any of these 30 birthday captions and you’ll be ready to go.
