20 Birthday Wishes For a Special Niece
Having a niece is simply awesome. You get to enjoy some of the greatest perks of parenthood without all the responsibilities that come with it. Play your cards right, and you might even earn the designation of “cool aunt” or “cool uncle.”
Of course, you can never hope to be cool if you don’t come through on your niece’s birthday. Part of that is chiming in with the perfect words to mark the occasion, whether those words are written in her birthday card, sent in a text, or posted on Facebook. If you’re looking for ideas, here’s a list of birthday wishes for a niece that range from humorous to heartfelt.
1st Birthday
Unless your niece is precocious indeed, she won’t be reading your birthday message at the age of one. Still, you gotta express your feelings on such a landmark day in your niece’s life. Here are a couple of short poems for a niece turning one.
- One year of love
One year of fun
One year of adventure
And you’ve only begun!
Happy Birthday to my one-derful little niece!
- It’s your first birthday cake
Save me a piece
Though no cake is as sweet
As my cute little niece
