A birthday page for your best friend
Romantic pages get all the attention, which is strange, because the friendship has usually lasted longer. This is the one where you get to be embarrassing on purpose.
What to put on it
The worst photos you have
Not the flattering ones. The ones from the night nobody talks about, the bad haircut year, the group photo where everyone is blinking.
Get the whole group in
Drop the wish link in the group chat. Everyone leaves ten seconds. It turns a birthday message into something closer to a room full of people.
The inside jokes, uncensored
The page is private and unlisted, so the jokes that would be unwise anywhere public are entirely fine here.
What to write
Steal any of these, or use one as a way in and finish it yourself.
Twelve years of you knowing exactly which of my decisions are bad and letting me make them anyway.
You are legally required to keep being my best friend. I checked. Happy birthday.
Nobody else would have stayed. Thank you for being the one who did.
Questions about making one for your best friend
Is it strange to make one of these for a friend rather than a partner?
Only because romantic gestures get all the marketing. The friendship has usually lasted longer than any of the relationships, and almost nobody ever makes a fuss of it — which is exactly why it lands.
Can the whole group contribute instead of just me?
Drop the wish link into the group chat and let everyone add ten seconds. A page holds up to 30 wishes, which is more than most group chats will actually produce.
How unflattering can the photos be?
Entirely. The page is unlisted and only reachable by the link you send, so the bad haircut year is safe to include without it living anywhere public.
How it works
- Add their name, your photos and your message. A live preview shows exactly what they will see.

- Publish, and share the private link whenever you like. GH₵ 150 once, no subscription.
