A brother is the person who knows exactly which story would embarrass you most and has kept it to himself for years, mostly. That kind of loyalty deserves more than a thumbs-up on his birthday. On this page you will find happy birthday brother images for every kind of brother: funny ones for the one who turns everything into a joke, bold and bright ones for the brother who likes to celebrate loudly, and calm, warm ones for the brother who would never ask for a fuss. All of them are free: open one, save it to your phone or send it straight from the page.

Birthday wishes for your brother, ready to copy

Brothers are not always easy to write to. Each image has its own wishes underneath. Below are a few more that work with any of them; use them as they are or bend them until they sound like you.

Happy birthday to my brother and my first partner in crime. Growing up would have been very quiet without you.

Happy birthday, bro! Thanks for having my back, even on the days you were the reason I needed backup.

To my brother on his birthday: I do not say it often, so here it is in writing. I am proud of you.

Happy birthday to the brother who still owes me a rematch and probably twenty dollars.

Happy birthday, big brother. You went first at everything and made it look possible. I noticed, even when I pretended not to.

Happy birthday, little brother. You are taller than me now, but I still get to call you little.

Wish I could be there today. Happy birthday, brother. The first round is on me when I see you.

Happy birthday to my brother-in-law, who joined this family on purpose and still shows up to every dinner.

Happy birthday to my brother from your favorite sister. I checked, and it is still me.

Happy birthday, brother. I got lucky with you.

For a big brother, a little brother or a brother-in-law

The words matter as much as the picture, and they change with the brother. For an older brother, say thanks for something specific: the rides, the advice, the times he covered for you. A younger brother expects to be teased, so tease him, then add one line that tells him you are proud of him. For a brother-in-law, a stepbrother or a friend who has been a brother to you, keep it simple and warm: tell him you are glad he is family.

From a sister or from a brother

A sister can usually get away with more feeling. One sentence about what he means to you will stay with him far longer than he will admit. Between brothers a joke often does the same work, and that is fine. If a joke is how the two of you talk, send the joke. He will know what is under it.

Keep it short and mean it

Most brothers would rather get two honest lines than a long speech. A good image, his name and something only the two of you would understand is enough to make him grin when he checks his phone. We add new images and wishes regularly, so there will be something fresh the next time his birthday comes around.
