When you want to plan a special day for your husband’s birthday, you might not know where to begin or if he would like to celebrate. Rest assured; husbands appreciate the effort put into birthday plans. Read on to learn about planning for your husband’s birthday. At the end, we’ll provide ideas for the top 10 happy birthday husband wishes to insert into a greeting card.
Why You Should Make Your Husband Feel Special on His Birthday
When a relationship begins and sparks are flying, it’s a given you will make your boyfriend feel extra special on his birthday. Often as we grow together and join in the union of marriage, the initial fire-like sparks morph into something that resembles something more rock-like.
Marriage is stable and secure; it’s calmer than those initial days of dating. It’s multifaceted and filled with bits of sparkle and, at times, dull bits. These are some of the finest qualities of marriage, yet this sometimes means we invest less time in those happy birthday husband plans that once made our partner feel special.
All the above is doubly true when children are added to the relationship. Sometimes we can get so wrapped up caring for the kids, the practices, dinner, cleaning, and work, we end up neglecting the little things that make our husband feel like the king he is.
He Cares
Even if your husband acts like he doesn’t care about his birthday, he will feel special when you make an effort to celebrate. Making an effort doesn’t require a lot of planning or money. In fact, some of the most memorable birthdays are created from showing gratitude and appreciation, rather than forking over a lot of money for a gift.
Making your husband feel special on his birthday is just as much about remembering who he once was as it is about remembering who you once were. Although life has a way of changing, there are often still lingering aspects of ourselves that crave acknowledgement. By connecting with what connected you to your husband in the beginning, you can help your husband have a special birthday. You can also let him know how important he is to you.

Here we will discuss some of the best happy birthday husband celebration and gift ideas that are sure to make your husband know how loved he truly is.
Happy Birthday Husband Celebration Ideas
When planning a happy birthday husband celebration, you’ll need to put your personal celebration ideas aside and focus on what your husband would want. Here we’ll discuss some of the most popular happy birthday husband celebration ideas.
Give Him a Day Off
According to a Facebook survey that asked married men with children how they’d most like to celebrate their birthday, most men replied that they’d enjoy a solo wellness day. The men didn’t call it that, but what they want is the equivalent. Men want to have a day off from the family for their birthday. In this time, they want to partake in activities they have little time for anymore.
It may be difficult to understand why your husband wouldn’t want to spend time with you and the family for his birthday, but try to put yourself in his shoes. Would you enjoy a day off for your birthday? By suggesting your husband take a hooky day from the routine, you are showing your love, trust, and support for his well-being and wishes.
Daddy Day
Many fathers want to spend quality time with their older children. What they do together will depend on the activities your husband and older child or children enjoy. Having a daddy day strengthens the bond between your child and husband. It should be encouraged. By setting the scene for this to happen, your husband will understand how much you care.
Let Him Pick Dinner
Another top requested happy birthday husband celebration idea from married fathers is to eat at their favorite restaurant. On your husband’s special day, let him pick the type of food and the restaurant everyone will eat at. If your husband likes cuisine that isn’t popular with the kids, let your kids know in advance that there will be options for them to avoid any confusion on the big day.
Happy Birthday Husband Gifts

Husbands are notoriously difficult to shop for. They rarely make any specific requests, and they might act dismissive when asked what they want. This doesn’t mean that they won’t appreciate a birthday gift.
Learn the Art of Gift Giving
Good gift giving is a skill we all possess, but it takes a little practice to master. Start by imagining how you’d want someone to pick a gift for you. You’d want them to listen to what you say, understand your needs, and hone in on your personal interests, right? The same equation applies for selecting a great happy birthday husband gift.
Consider His Interests
Giving a generic gift downplays the love and appreciation you have for your husband. Unless your husband has a passion for ties or coffee mugs, don’t waste the gesture by giving these gifts. Think about what your husband truly enjoys and start your gift search from there.
Non-Material Gifts
The gift you select for your husband has the power to make him feel like the only man in the world. Sometimes the best gifts aren’t material. Breakfast in bed, a special meal, a massage, surprise sticky notes, adult’s only high-quality alone time, or the opportunity for rest and relaxation are all on the gift giving table for your husband’s birthday.
70 Happy Birthday Husband Wishes
Objects can break or lose value, but meaningful memories are some of the most enduring and rewarding elements of life. Greeting cards offer a way for you to provide a caption for the perfect day you have planned for your husband. Because cards are small, they are easily savable. When writing your happy birthday husband card, write something that is worth preserving.
Too often people don’t write how they truly feel in cards because they mistakenly think it doesn’t matter. This is especially true for happy birthday husband messages. Just because he’s your husband and knows you love him doesn’t mean that he wouldn’t feel special receiving written confirmation of this on his birthday.
There is something different about receiving birthday wishes in ink. The card is something small and physical that your husband can return to years later to remember you and the amazing times you’ve spent together.
Here we’ll offer suggestions for the top 10 happy birthday husband wishes to write in a card. We’d suggest that you take this list as inspiration for creating a unique message to your husband that expresses how you feel.
