Happy birthday! I was going to get you something thoughtful, but then I remembered how you 'forgot' to approve my last invoice for three weeks.
None of these feel quite right?

Common questions
Is it appropriate to send a sarcastic birthday card to a client?‹
Yes, if you have an established, comfortable relationship where humor is already part of your interactions. Avoid sarcasm with new clients or in strictly formal industries. Always err on the side of professionalism if unsure.
Should I include a gift with a sarcastic birthday card for a client?‹
A small, thoughtful gift can soften the sarcastic tone and show genuine appreciation. Consider something related to inside jokes from your work together, or a universal treat like quality coffee or chocolates. The gift should say 'I value you' while the card adds the humor.
How can I make sure my sarcastic wish doesn't offend my client?‹
Keep the sarcasm light and related to your shared work experiences, not personal attributes. Phrases like 'we both know...' or referencing common work scenarios (like emails or meetings) are safer. When in doubt, add a sincere sentence at the end wishing them genuine happiness and success.
