Funny 31st Birthday Wishes

11. Of all the party lovers I know, nobody enjoys a good knees-up more than you, my best friend, and Hyde to my Jekyll. For some, turning 31 might signal the start of a new health and fitness regime and self-care routine.

13. A very happy birthday to one of the most amazing friends anyone could have. Wishing you a special birthday celebration that’s wild enough that you spend the whole night laughing and partying it up, but not so wild that you end up passed out for 24 hours on your kitchen floor waiting for your beautiful soul to return to your body.   
14. A very happy birthday to one of the most genuine and fun friends anyone could have.

15. Happy bday hun! You’ve finally reached that life stage where hangovers last twice as long, exercising only helps you shed about half of the weight it used to, and back-seat fun after a date is off the cards due to fatigue and limited flexibility. But hey, look on the bright side, at least you’re one year closer to retirement!      
16. Now that you’ve turned 31, for the party tonight I expect it will be canapes and champagne followed by a sophisticated relaxed dinner with a few close family members and friends. Or would you prefer to go bonkers in the club till 4 am while the DJ spins our favorite bangers? From what I know about you, I think the latter is 99% more likely!
17. Happy 31st birthday! You’ve turned from a clueless little boy to a mature and (somewhat) responsible grown man.

Cheeky 31st Birthday Wishes

19. Happy 31st birthday wishes to my best buddy! A bit of advice from one dear friend to another – maybe stick to singing in the shower rather than in front of a crowd at your birthday party. I mean, with such an angelic and enchanting voice, you wouldn’t want to make the world feel jealous now. 
20. Happy 31st birthday! I heard that you can rent out the museum in the evening for a birthday celebration. You’ll be moving in there pretty soon as their latest exhibition so let me know if you can get discount rates and maybe we can throw you a party there next year. 
21. Short birthday wishes are usually the best, and as you’re now getting on a little, you probably can’t retain as much information. So here’s to the end of your youth and the start of a battle against the drift toward a mid-life crisis. Happy 31st birthday oldy!
22. Get ready to party tonight as we celebrate inevitably receding hairlines and new joint pain! Only kidding! At this mere age, you can hardly be considered “old”. The term “seasoned” sounds much nicer. You might be another year into your early 30s, but you’ve got the spirit of a college freshman, albeit sometimes the maturity of a 5-year-old!
23. Happy 31st birthday! You’ve finally reached the point in life where crazy nights out become quiet nights in and after-party bills become additional streaming service subscription payments. What better way to have a new beginning celebration to old age than cosying up in bed at 9 pm on a Friday watching a riveting period drama?
24. Happy b day pal! Congrats on completing the first year of your early thirties. Hopefully, you’ve been able to get used to some of the new joys of being a full-on adult. For instance, feeling an intense sense of elation when getting asked for ID at the liquor store, because you look too young!
