40th Birthday Wishes

What to Write in a 40th Birthday Card

  • I can think of 40 reasons you might be feeling your age today.
  • Happy 39th again!
  • If you aren't grown up by now, it probably won't happen.
  • You don't look too bad for 50. Oh yeah, you're turning 40. Never mind.
  • You can forget about being trusted by teenagers. You're even too old to be trusted by people in their 20's.
  • You look young for someone in their 40's. Maybe that's because you haven't been in your 40's for long.
  • Don't fret over turning 40. You still have 10 years until you are 50!
  • Now that you are 40 you will finally have to grow up, or not. It's up to you.
  • You're not over the hill yet. Actually, you will probably always feel like you are walking up hill now that you're 40.
  • You have 40 reasons to admit to yourself that you are getting older, but I won't make you. Have a happy 40th birthday!
  • You have an excuse to go treat yourself to a new sports car. You're old enough to have a midlife crisis now that you're 40.
  • Congratulations on turning 39 years old again for the second time. I’m looking forward to celebrating your 39th for many years to come.
  • To prove to yourself that 40 is not such a big number, see if 40 cents can buy the same things as you used to be able to buy when you were a kid.
  • Just think, in the 1800’s a 40 year old would be lucky to be alive. Considering that, you look very good for your age.
  • If 40 is "the new 20," then tell me what 20 is... the new born?
  • If you can still blow out all your candles in one breath, then you are still in good shape. Good luck! Happy 40th birthday!
  • Just think, you are now half way to being 80. 40 sounds so young when you think about it that way.
  • Congratulations on turning 39 with and extra year of experience under your belt. The extra year shows.
  • If you start to feel really old, just remember that age is just a number. Yours just happens to be a big number.
  • I went to the psychic and asked about you. They said you are having a birthday and they see bifocals and hearing aids in your near future.
  • Think of yourself as two twenty-year-old people instead of one forty-year-old.
