Teachers are an inspiration to just about everyone out there, meaning that when it comes time to send them birthday wishes, it’s important you get things right. The only issue is that it can seem much harder to find the right thing to send to a teacher versus a family member or a friend, whether through a paper card or an online group card service like Thankbox.
Most people can agree that nearly all teachers enjoy a quality birthday wish when the time rolls around. And while it may seem a little difficult to find one on the spot, this list is a collection of our favourite birthday wishes for teachers. So, to bring that spark to a teacher (and make things a little easier for you), let’s jump right in!
Choosing Happy Birthday Wishes for Teachers
When choosing a happy birthday wish for a teacher, it’s important to make sure that you pick one that’s fitting and well-intended. That might seem a little dramatic, but when dealing with something as important as someone’s birthday, especially for a teacher, it’s well worth it. After all, teachers serve one of the most important jobs around!
Whether you're looking for birthday wishes for mentor teachers or regular schoolteachers, think about what you value the most about them. Most of our happy birthday wishes for teachers are general enough to work for just about anybody, although you should put a little thought into what you’re choosing. After all, these are still birthday wishes!
If you're looking to make a teacher's birthday a little more special, there are a few ways to add a little change to the mix. Thankbox is an amazing example, letting you send personalised virtual birthday cards in a way that’s both easy and affordable. Compared to a standard paper card, Thankbox is more customisable, easier to share, and can be finished within minutes – with no need to register. If you’re interested, check out Thankbox’s How it works page!

It's so easy for students, parents and all the school staff to send their heartfelt and personal birthday messages to a teacher. Create your Thankbox, invite others and share the link - guaranteed to bring smiles (and maybe happy tears!).
Either way, here are our top birthday wishes for teachers:

Joke Wishes for Close Teachers
I’ll always remember my time spent learning from you – or at least until I turn [age] too! I’m kidding about that, but not about sending you a happy birthday!
Happy birthday! Here’s to another year full of terrible jokes and a lot of cringing -- whether that’s for me or for you, I don’t know yet!
Now that it’s your birthday, it’s time for a gift; take a break from us and enjoy some time with just a little less chaos! Happy birthday!
If you weren’t a teacher, I’d tell you to go take some time off… you’re a lot more entertaining than the substitute teacher. Happy birthday!
Another birthday means another year of happiness, life, and fun – at least after you get enough of us in the meantime, ha-ha! Happy birthday!
[Age]!? I never would have guessed! Just kidding, another birthday means another year full of new memories and experiences, and I hope you enjoy yours!
Is it your birthday already? Couldn’t you have waited until summer break to get a break from us? Happy birthday anyway!
It may be your birthday, but I know what you’re wishing for – me to pass so you don’t have to deal with my jokes anymore… happy birthday!
Happy birthday! If you’re open to it, we can all go home, and you can celebrate your birthday there. Either way – here’s to a great birthday!
I know that two days every year keep you going – the last day of school and today. I can’t do much about the end of school, but I can wish you a happy birthday today!
It’s not a precise science, like what we learn from you, but I can tell that your birthday will be amazing. Probably… either way, happy birthday!
I know history repeats itself, and I’m hoping that’s a good thing… hopefully, no matter what’s happened before, we can help make your birthday a little bit more special. Happy birthday!
I get that we throw some jokes back and forth quite often, but I honestly hope you enjoy your birthday! If you could throw in an A in the meantime, that’d be great too, but either way, happy birthday!
I’ll be honest. I was going to make a joke and send it to you for your birthday, but I couldn’t come up with any. I googled “birthday wishes for teachers,” and I found this. That might seem easy, but trust me, that’s the dedication to give you the best birthday! Happy birthday!
Making the Best Birthday Wish for a Teacher
No matter which one of our top birthday wishes you choose, know that you’re doing something that will make your teacher’s day. Whether you make a handmade card, buy one from a store, or send one through Thankbox, you’re doing something great!
You can also make it personalised to your teacher's subject of teaching. So, happy birthday wishes for science teachers may look different from a history teacher's birthday wish. Creativity is key!
Again, if you’re looking for an easy way to make a bang with your happy birthday wish, you can’t do better than a personalised card from Thankbox. If you’re interested in learning more, whether before or during a teacher’s birthday, check out the Support Page!
On top of everything, these are only some of the birthday wishes for a teacher out there. You can take any direction that you think fits your teacher's preference, and it’s best to make it personalised. You can even start with one of these examples, and add a little something to it to make it more personable to your teacher. Either way you spin it, send your teacher a happy birthday from us!
