30 Birthday Wishes for Your Husband (Sweet, Funny & Romantic)
Husbands are famously bad at receiving compliments. Say something sincere and you'll get a joke back, or a thank-you and a swift change of subject. That doesn't mean he doesn't want to hear it — it means the sincere line lands better with something light in front of it.
Which is how these are arranged: open with the funny one if you need to, then say the real thing at the end. Thirty wishes, grouped by tone.

Send it as something he'll actually open
