Build a birthday card heading
Happy Birthday works as a warm, familiar heading on a card, cake topper, or gift label. Initial capitals help the two words stand out. If you add a name, use Wrap text and put it on its own line instead of squeezing everything into one long heading.
Match the style to the occasion
Pacifico gives a rounded, bold feel; Cookie can work well on a small gift tag. Great Vibes and Pinyon Script have decorative capitals that benefit from generous space. Check the design at its final size so the letters in Birthday remain easy to read.
Choose a download or practice by hand
Use a PNG with a background as a ready-to-send image, or a transparent PNG to place lettering over a card design. SVG stays crisp when enlarged. The stroke guide teaches a lowercase happy birthday model; its hand-drawn shapes are different from the decorative fonts.
