Nobody knows you better than your siblings and if you have a brother, you know that there’s a special bond between the two of you that can't be broken. That’s why when his birthday rolls around, you better go all out and nothing beats a heartfelt birthday wish to make his special day even better.

We’ve rounded up some of the best birthday wishes for your brother to commemorate the day he was born.

Oh, and we didn’t forget about your brother-in-law. He may be married into your family, but he’s more than a bonus addition — he’s your brother. He’s just as important and worthy of birthday wishes as any other member of your family. What’s more, he’ll appreciate it more than you’ll know.

You can share these messages and wishes inside a birthday card, send as a text message, or post on social media if he’s actively online. And don't forget about everyone else in the family.
