Birthday wishes for jiju come in two kinds.
The teasing ones go to his own chat, where the wedding shoe money is still a sore point. When his mummy and papa are reading along, you switch to the polite ones.
You'll need both. So pick by who you are to him first, then by who's watching.
Birthday wishes for jiju, some cheeky and some proper
He'll call these too much and then screenshot every single one.
- Happy birthday, jiju. The shoe money came down to 5,100, and I still think you got a discount.
- Wishing you a calm year with fewer work calls on holidays, jijaji.
- Twelve more months of "adjust kar lenge" for every family problem. Never stop.
- Thank you for learning all our silly nicknames in the first month. Happy birthday, jiju.
- The gali still talks about the day you reversed out of it in one go.
- May every plan this year arrive on time, unlike your baraat.
- Papa still tells everyone how you fixed the inverter on your second visit. Many happy returns, jijaji.
- You bring sweets every visit even after we say don't. Happy birthday from the people who finish the box.
- Cake first, teasing after.
- You got didi giggling halfway through her pheras, while she was trying so hard to look serious.
For a card on his phone, Bestie suits the inside jokes and Classic the polite version, both on the HeartCraft birthday card page.
Funny ones from the saali who hid his shoes
The juttis went missing during the pheras, and the haggling took longer than the pheras did.
Use these in his chat. Nobody there needs the backstory.
- Happy birthday, jiju. This year your shoes are safe. The cake isn't.
- Wishing a happy birthday to the family ludo cheat, who still blames the dice.
- Jiju, I've hidden the cake knife. Same rates as the wedding.
- You've told the college canteen story at every family dinner. Tell it again tonight. We'll act surprised.
- Your first Holi with us left you pink for a week. Sorry about that, mostly.
- Mummy keeps a separate achaar jar just for you. I've been eating from it since March.
- That car horn of yours plays a tune the whole colony hums now. Happy birthday, DJ jiju.
- After that sangeet karaoke, all of us deserve a return gift on your birthday.
- 11 pm ice cream drive tonight. You're driving, obviously.
- Today you get your fixed chair and the biggest slice. Normal teasing resumes tomorrow.
- You set up mummy's UPI, so every "payment failed" is your problem now. Happy birthday, tech support.
- Stay this silly, jiju. Your nagin dance from the baraat is still my favourite video.
- Didi got a husband and I got a full-time excuse. "Jiju ne kaha tha" works on papa every time.
From a sala who lifted didi higher at the varmala
A sala's main job at the wedding was lifting didi higher than jiju's friends lifted him. On his birthday, it's mostly cricket trash talk.
- Happy birthday, jijaji. We won the varmala, and the video proves it.
- Sunday cricket is on. Try one straight ball this year, as a gift to yourself.
- You taught me to knot a tie before my first interview. I still do it your way, slightly crooked.
- Badminton in the gali after the cake, and the loser carries the suitcases next trip.
- Mummy loves you more than me now. I've made my peace with it.
- Bhai, your IPL team lost again, but today we'll pretend it didn't.
- Thanks for always taking my side when papa starts on my marks.
- Happy birthday, jiju. You can argue cricket at dinner longer than papa, and that takes stamina.
- Didi chose well. Don't tell her I said so.
Respectful wishes for when both families are reading
Every comment under his birthday photo gets read by his mummy, slowly, sometimes twice.
So the birthday wishes for jiju that go there should sound like you were raised well. His nani reads them too.
- Happy birthday, jijaji. Thank you for looking after didi, and all of us, on the day of the bidaai.
- पापा कहते हैं कि आपके आने से घर में एक बेटा और आ गया है। जन्मदिन मुबारक हो, जीजाजी।
- Wishing you good health, jijaji. Sunday lunch is louder since you joined, and papa likes it more than he'll admit.
- जीजाजी, जन्मदिन की ढेर सारी शुभकामनाएँ। आप हमेशा स्वस्थ रहें और ऐसे ही सबको हँसाते रहें।
- Many happy returns. May this year bring you long drives with didi and less traffic on the road to our house.
- भगवान आपको लंबी उम्र और अच्छी सेहत दें। दीदी का और हम सबका इतना ख्याल रखने के लिए धन्यवाद।
- Happy birthday from all of us. Your slippers are still by our door, and mummy won't let anyone move them.
- आपका जन्मदिन हमारे लिए भी त्योहार जैसा है। मम्मी आपकी पसंद की खीर बना रही हैं।

For the jiju who's been a big brother to you
Somewhere after the wedding, he started picking up your calls at odd hours.
Suno. Send these once the guests have gone, because he might need a minute.
- You came to my college to sign that form like a guardian, and the clerk called you my bhaiya. Neither of us corrected him.
- When papa said no to the dance competition in Bhopal, you talked him round after dinner. I was listening at the door the whole time.
- At 6 am you drove me to my exam centre, then waited three hours outside with a newspaper you'd already read. I'm not sure I ever said how much that helped.
- Whenever I mess up and can't tell mummy yet, you're my first call. Happy birthday.

- The day I moved cities, you carried the heaviest suitcase up the station stairs and stood there till the train pulled out. You didn't wave much. Still, I noticed.
Lines didi can post on her own status
Didi, this set is yours. If you've made him a HeartCraft birthday card, its 9:16 video fits your status too.
- My family calls him before they call me these days. Happy birthday, husband.
- I've heard your dinner-table jokes a hundred times, and I laugh every time.
- He held my mother's achaar jar on his lap for six hours on a train so it wouldn't spill. That's my husband.

- Who else drives out for ice cream at 11 pm without asking why? Happy birthday, you.
- Still opens the car door for me, even in our own parking. Happy birthday, mister.

Frequently asked questions
Jiju, jijaji or bhaiya, which one suits a formal message?
Go with jijaji when his parents will see it. In your own chat jiju is fine, and bhaiya only if you call him that at home.
How much teasing is too much on his status?
One joke is plenty once his boss and relatives can see it. Nothing about his weight or money, ever.
What should I gift along with the wish?
Something tied to an inside joke, like a cricket ball for the man who bowls only wides. Then stick the QR code from a birthday wishes card on the gift tag, so it opens on his phone.
Should I wish jiju before didi does?
Let didi go first, since that wish is hers. Yours can go over breakfast, and on her birthday you get the first slot, with lines from the birthday wishes for sister page.
