In about 13 hours, it is your mother’s birthday. So now, you’re probably wondering how to spice up that birthday wish and message because you are tired of the usual “happy birthday.” Well, worry not because I might be able to help.

Before anything else, I would like to remind you that no matter how simple and expected “Happy birthday” is, the phrase is more extraordinary than ordinary. Telling someone a happy birthday means you acknowledge their special day, which is why you are wishing them a happy birthday.

Moving on, to spice up a birthday greeting, you are going to need a birthday card or a sheet of nice paper, pens of different colors (if you only have one color pen, that is also okay), and birthday sprinkles. Next, you will scroll down the list of Italian happy birthdays and write one or three on the card or paper. Ta-da! The card is ready and now you can give it to your mom.

Sideote: if a birthday card is not on your list, that is more than okay. You can scroll down the list of happy birthday greetings in Italian and text one or three of them to your mom. Or you can even record a voice note of your happy birthday greeting. Better yet, use the birthday sprinkles to scribble your Italian birthday greeting on a yummy, cute cake!
