What should I write for my brother's birthday?
A roast first, then one honest line. That's how most brothers talk, so it's how a birthday message to one should sound. Tease him about something harmless, like his driving, his cooking or his belief that he won every argument, and then say the thing you'd never say out loud: that he's always shown up.
"I don't say it, you don't say it, so I'm typing it: you're a great brother" is the most honest line on this page for exactly that reason. Pick one here, add a real memory, and send it.
What if we're not the emotional type?
Then keep it short and let the joke do the work. Plenty of brothers show affection by insulting each other, and a well-aimed roast says "I know you" as clearly as any speech. The Funny filter is full of them. If you want to add something sincere, put it in the last five words, where it can't be made a big deal of: "Happy birthday. Glad you're my brother."
Is a message to a big brother different from one to a little brother?
A bit. A big brother broke the rules first, protected you and taught you badly how to drive, so messages to him are thanks wrapped in teasing. A little brother is suddenly taller than you and handing out advice, so messages to him are proud and slightly outraged. Both filters are above. Bhaiya for an older brother and bhai or chhote for a younger one set the tone in Hinglish straight away.
What do I send my brother if I can't be there?
A message that promises the next time you'll see him, because that's the part that counts. "When you're home next, the first round is on me" does that. Then post an old photo of the two of you, ideally one he'd rather nobody saw, and send the sincere line privately.
How do I wish my brother in Hindi?
"जन्मदिन मुबारक हो, भैया" suits an elder brother and a family group. "मेरे प्यारे भाई को जन्मदिन की ढेर सारी शुभकामनाएँ" works for any brother. Most brothers text in Hinglish, and "Happy birthday, bhai! Tu hai toh sab set hai" is closer to how they actually talk than anything formal.
What do I write for my brother-in-law?
Something that makes him part of the family, with a joke if you already joke together. For a jiju you're close to, the teasing lines here work with a name change. For a newer brother-in-law, thank him for something real, like how he treats your sister or the help he gave at a family function, and keep it light: "Happy birthday. Glad you're one of us." Skip the childhood-roast lines. They only work on someone who was there. Once you've shared a few family weddings and a road trip, he'll have earned them. Until then, let your sister or brother do the roasting.

Questions
Before you send it
What is a short birthday message for my brother?
"Brothers by blood, friends by choice" and "Happy birthday, bhai. Have a big one" are two good places to start. The Short filter shows every one-liner.
What is a funny birthday message for my brother?
Roast something harmless: "You're one year older and still not one year wiser." Brothers take a joke better than a paragraph of feelings. Add one warm line at the end if you want it to count.
What do I write for my elder brother's birthday?
Thank him for going first and taking the heat. "Bhaiya, you were the one I copied until I figured out who I was" says it well.
What do I write for my younger brother's birthday?
Be proud and a bit outraged that he's grown up: "My little brother is all grown up and somehow giving me advice now."
How do I say happy birthday brother in Hindi?
"जन्मदिन मुबारक हो, भाई" or, for an elder brother, "भैया". In Hinglish, "Happy birthday, bhai!" is how most people actually say it.
What caption can I use for my brother's birthday post?
"Brothers by blood, friends by choice" or "Happy birthday to my brother and my best mate" fit under a photo. The Image button turns any line into a picture.
Is it okay to send just a funny message?
For most brothers, yes. A good joke that could only be about him says you know him. If it's a big birthday, add one sincere line so the joke doesn't carry the whole thing.
