When I was asked to do this toast, I jumped at the chance...and I'm not even all that comfortable doing one. I jumped at the chance because you deserve to be toasted. You are the best brother anyone can ever have. Even when any sane brother would be fed up with the likes of me, you've always been there (and always will be). As much as I pushed you away, you've pushed yourself right back into my life.  That's what makes you so special. That's what makes you the best brother. Here's to you.

I just wanted to take the time today to wish my wonderful mother a happy birthday! My mom is an amazing woman. Her wisdom and unceasing patience have made me the person I am today. The root of everything she has taught me over the years epitomizes one simple thing – love. I love you, Mom. Happy birthday!

Happy birthday! For me, it's an honor to stand here and toast you. You're so special, so wonderful and so kind, and I want everyone in this room to know it. Here's to many more birthdays together. Cheers.

Once upon a time, you were small enough to hold in my arms. Today, you're at least two heads taller than me and can hold me in your arms. But that's how it should be — your children should reach higher heights than you. Happy birthday, my child.

You are one of a kind — so full of love and joy. You always seem to find time for your family and friends. As we celebrate your birthday, I hope we can show you how much we appreciate everything you do for us. Thank you! Happy birthday! You’re the best!

It is an honor for me to toast you on your special day. It is even a greater honor to call you my sister. I think I speak for everyone in this room when I say, thank you for so boldly and beautifully shining your bright light on the world. May you shine on for years and years! Happy birthday!

Old wine is the best to drink. It's even better when you drink it with old friends. And better still when you toast your best friend with it. Here's to you! Happy birthday.






Hints & Tips


How do you write sentimental birthday toasts?

The best sentimental birthday toasts have one thing in common: there's not a dry eye in the room when they're done. That’s exactly the kind of toasts you want for the birthday boy or girl.

The key to writing sentimental birthday toasts is your ability to add three vital ingredients to the mix: love, compassion and nostalgia.

Just how much love, compassion and nostalgia should be in your toast is up to you (and what you think your loved ones will appreciate on their special day).

With the right blend of love, compassion and nostalgia, you can move the birthday boy or girl, and every other person in the room, to tears. Really.

At a birthday celebration, who can resist a heartwarming tribute? Nobody. But how heartwarming should your toast be? 

  • Your sentimental birthday toasts should give you the latitude to fully express your feelings for the birthday boy or girl, making him or her feel very special and, most importantly, loved.
  • Your sentimental birthday toasts shouldn't give you the latitude to be too personal, making some people (even the birthday gal or guy) uncomfortable or, worse, sick to anyone's stomach.
  • Look at the birthday cards or eCards you've gotten from the birthday boy or girl for signs of exactly how sentimental you can go.
