A sister is a person with whom we share lots of fond childhood memories. Even when we’re all grown up, sisters remain one of our closest companions in the family.
That’s not to say that sister-sister or sister-brother relationships are always rosy. Sometimes we argue over the most trivial things, such as who got the best dress for Christmas or who took after mom’s finest qualities.
Some of these innocent sisterly rivalries have a way of spilling over into our adult lives. Even after exiting the family nest, sisters will still find themselves comparing their spouses, personal tastes, and professional achievements.
Regardless, sisters are our true bosom buddies. They help us nurture our strengths and overcome our insecurities. They root for us when everyone else won’t.
So, it’s only fair that we pull all the stops when it comes to celebrating our sisters. One way to express your sincere appreciation for your sister is by helping them celebrate their birthdays in style.
But finding the right words to write in a happy birthday card for sister isn’t a walk in the park. We understand that all too well, which is why we’ve curated a definitive collection of 80 amazing ways to wish your dear sister a happy birthday.
