10 Happy Birthday Cousin Wishes

February 1, 2019 By Birthday Wishes Team

​​​​"Happy Birthday Cousin!" That's a card you don't often see.  We may take it for granted that our immediate family members remember our special day, but what about cousins? Don't you feel extra special when you receive birthday greetings from a person you don't expect?

Hopefully, most of us send birthday wishes to our mom, dad, brother, sister, grandparents, and children. However, cousins are family, too! A cousin is actually defined as "a person belonging to the same extended family," and many of us have fond (and maybe some not so fond) childhood memories of our cousins.

There are many ways to say "Happy Birthday Cousin," and we will help you find the perfect message for your special family member. The quickest communication these days is through email or social media, but you can also do it old-school and send a card through the mail.  Whether the message you want to send is humorous, cheerful, affectionate, teasing or uplifting, we have compiled a list of avenues to send your birthday greetings. We've also put together categories for you to fit the various circumstances of your cousin's birthday.  As with all relatives, it's good to keep your greetings personal, positive and upbeat.

There are almost as many ways to say "Happy Birthday Cousin" as there are types of cousins, but this list of 10 categories should help you narrow it down.  We have examples you can customize as you see fit for each category.

A Loving Birthday Greeting

A classic greeting can let your cousin know that he or she is remembered and loved. A couple of good examples would be:

  • "I am so grateful to have you in my life. I can never forget how blessed and fortunate I am to have a cousin like you. Happy Birthday, Cousin. I hope your special day is filled with joy and cheer."
  • "There are some bonds that stand the test of time. Ours is one such bond. It's deep and everlasting. You've had a profound effect on my life for the better. Thanks for being a constant source of love."

I Look Forward to Seeing You

If an upcoming birthday party is part of the festivities, then let your cousin know how excited you are to see him or her!

  • "Happy Birthday Cousin! I can't wait to see you! Wishing you an awesome birthday. Looking forward to an amazing party!"

​Congratulations

Does your cousin have something else to celebrate? A new job or a new house? This is a great opportunity to express your congratulations while saying "Happy Birthday Cousin" at the same time.

  • "Dear Cousin, as you celebrate yet another milestone in your life, may all your dreams and wishes continue to come true. Happy Birthday to a winner."

A birthday is the best time of the year to let your cousin know how special he or she is to your family.

  • "I don't know how many times we say this, but you are truly a blessing to this family. Following in your footsteps has lifted us higher. This is just to appreciate you as a friend and an awesome cousin. Happy Birthday to the best cousin ever!"

​You Are More Than a Cousin

Cousins are more than extended family members. They are friends, and sometimes, they are more like siblings. Take this opportunity to tell them.

  • "I know I don't get time to show or tell you how much you mean to me as a cousin. Allow me to use this day to remind you that you are more than a cousin to me - you are my best friend. Happy Birthday Cousin and Best Friend!"
  • "Dear Cousin, you are like a sibling to me, and I want you to know just how special you are. I wish you all the good things you deserve as you celebrate yet another year of your life. Happy Birthday and God bless you."

​I Miss You

Many of us don't have the opportunity to see our beloved cousins because of the miles separating us, or perhaps years have caused us to drift apart in some way. Say Happy Birthday to your cousin by expressing how much you miss him or her.

  • "Though miles separate us and the years have passed, I want to let you know how much you are missed, especially on this day, your birthday. Happiest of Birthdays, Cousin!"

​You are My Favorite Cousin

This is a great thing to hear, as long as you are sure you don't offend other cousins. If this cousin happens to be the closest one you have, then why keep it a secret? Say Happy Birthday to your favorite cousin.

  • "You have truly been a source of joy and happiness, and that is why you are my favorite cousin. Lots of love on your birthday!"

​You Inspire Me

Let your cousin know how much he or she has inspired you along the way. Did your cousin guide you in high school? Help you over a break-up? Lift you up when you were having a bad week? This is a great time to let him or her know that you remember. Or, if you have watched this cousin grow up to be an amazing individual, let him or her know how proud you are.

  • "Your joy and zest for life inspire me to strive to be a better person. May your birthday be filled with wonder and awe. Happy Birthday, Cousin!
  • "Dear Cousin, I knew I loved you since the day you were born. I'm so proud of all you've done so far in your life, but I'm even prouder of who you've become. Happy Birthday!"

​Witty Greetings

Here is your chance to let the humor fly and have fun while doing it. Think back to some hilarious escapade the two of you were involved in. Or, if your cousin has a healthy sense of humor, it's ok to poke fun at his or her age (Note: it's only advisable to do this if you are close to the same age!").

  • "Happy Birthday Cousin! Given all of the secrets we have kept from our childhood, we should have won a few Emmy Awards by now."
  • "On your birthday, Cousin, people will tell you not to worry; that you should be carefree. Those people are wrong! At your age, you really should worry and care a lot! It's time to panic!"

How to Choose the Best Happy Birthday Cousin Wishes

colorful happy birthday letters

Ask yourself who this person is to you. What do you wish to say? What do you want to focus on? And perhaps most importantly, how has this past year been for your cousin? If it has been a year of loss or transition, a simple, loving and supportive birthday greeting is best. If this has been a year of accomplishments, you can focus on that and offer your congratulations while also offering your birthday greetings. If the two of you share a wicked sense of humor, then by all means, go for the witty greetings.

Conclusion

Cousins are often forgotten during birthdays, so it's a welcome surprise to receive a birthday greeting from an extended family member. Think back on the memories you share, think about what this person means to you and send a birthday greeting! A card sent via snail mail is always welcome, and you can spend hours perusing the card aisles in grocery stores looking for the perfect sentiment. However, one of the great things about the Internet and social media is that we can now personalize our greetings with our text, or we can spruce them up with GIFs or animation. After all, a birthday is a celebration! "Happy Birthday Cousin" will most certainly come back around to you when it's your special day.
