An aunt or uncle holds a truly special place in a child’s life — part fun, part family, and sometimes a little like a second parent. Your presence brings joy, support, and unconditional love. Now, your sweet niece or nephew is turning ONE  a whole year of cuddles, laughter, and watching them grow far too quickly! As the fun-loving aunt or uncle, your role is so much more than giving gifts. You’re their biggest fan, their playful companion, and a lifelong source of love and encouragement.
As they celebrate this beautiful milestone, it’s time to share birthday wishes that are as meaningful and memorable as your bond words they’ll look back on with warmth for years to come. 
Here are some heartfelt, funny, and emotional 1st birthday wishes from aunts and uncles.
