Birthday Wishes for a Boyfriend
The best boyfriend birthday message usually has one joke and one honest line, in that order. Going straight for the deep declaration can land oddly if it's early days, and going all-jokes can read as though you couldn't be bothered. These ten cover the full range, from a few months in to properly serious.

Small Things That Make It Better
Send it at the start of his day rather than the end — a message waiting at 7am reads as thoughtful, one at 9pm reads as remembered. Mention something he's working towards; men are notably under-asked about their goals and it's a good thing to acknowledge on a birthday. And if he's not demonstrative, a short sincere line is more likely to be reread than a long one.
If you're apart, the long-distance collection is written for exactly that.

Questions
What if it's very new?
Keep it easy and specific: name something you've enjoyed doing together and leave the future out of it.
Should I get a card too?
Yes. Very few people mind receiving a card, and it's the part that survives after the day.
