16th Birthday Wishes
What to Write in a 16th Birthday Card
Writing a birthday message for a 16 year old can be challenging due to the maturity level of the teenager. Most 16th birthday wishes focus on driving as the milestone event of the 16th birthday. Use the following examples to wish your 16-year-old a happy birthday in a card, on Facebook, or wherever else cool kids hang out these days.
- "Hpy 16th Bday! Dnt Txt N Drv."
- Try to live up to what you're called now, "sweet sixteen."
- Congratulations on turning 16. We know you will be a safe driver, since you have had 16 years of driving experience. You've driven your parents crazy for 16 years. Happy 16th!
- It seem like just yesterday you were 15. Come to think of it, you were 15 just yesterday.
- I want you to know that you are currently the youngest 16-year-old I know.
- You will have many opportunities to demonstrate your maturity as a near-adult, but why waste your childhood on that?
- You only get 1 year to spend as a 16-year-old, don't spend it all in one place.
- You are right in the middle of your teenage years, 4 years from 12 and 4 years from 20. Enjoy being middle-teen-aged.
- It’s time to put away your bad teenager attitude, now that you are 'sweet sixteen!
- Congratulations on turning 16! Get a job!
- Sixteen is a year filled with new responsibilities; dating, driving, and a first job. You'll find out years later that none of these things are anything to get excited about. Happy 16th Birthday!
- The law might say you are old enough to drive, but I know you are really just a 10-year-old with 6 years of experience. 10-year-olds shouldn’t be driving. Happy 16th anyway.
- Congratulations on turning 16. Your car insurance company will view you as a 0 year old driver. Make sure you wear your diaper… I mean seat belt.
- If 16-year-olds are the most dangerous drivers, then statistically speaking, the most dangerous place you will ever drive is where there is a high concentration of 16-year-old drivers. Stay away from your school parking lot.
- Keep in mind that even though you are turning 16, the impulse control part of your brain is still developing. Unfortunately, you probably didn't read my message because you got distracted by the money in this card.
- You are not too young to be used by God. Keep showing your strong faith as a 16 year old Christian and you will influence those around you like no older person could do. (Christian themed)
- Seeing you turn 16 makes us feel proud of all that we know you have accomplished. We are excited to see you beginning to really grow up and become more responsible and mature. Happy 16th!" (From Parents/Grandparents)
