If you’re looking for some creative and fun ways to share your birthday with your followers, look no further than Instagram stories. They offer plenty of tools to deliver happy birthday wishes in a creative way, and in this tutorial, we’ll share some fun and exciting happy birthday Instagram story ideas for your inspiration.

1. Birthday Notification

Instagram doesn’t send users a notification on their birthday, so why not do it instead? A birthday notification not only lets your friend or loved one know you remember their birthday but also notifies your common friends and followers that it’s time to celebrate. ..

  1. Add an event to your calendar that will coincide with your birthday.
  2. Type the date in the “date” field and click on the “add to calendar” button.
  3. Click on the “create event” button and enter your birthday information in the “event details” field.
  4. Click on the “add to calendar” button and you will be taken to a page where you can add other people as participants.

To customize your birthday notification story, you can use fonts, emojis, stickers, gifs, and more to make it unique. Instead of a colored background, you can use a pic (or pics) of the birthday person or a photo of you together with them. It’s always nice to get a notification on social media saying that other people remember your birthday.

2. Birthday Countdown

This Insta story features a birthday countdown that gets your followers to celebrate your bestie’s birthday with you, as well as tell your followers about your own birthday party in advance.

To keep your followers in the loop on your birthday, countdown to it with a social media post. Use the hashtag #birthday Countdown to make sure everyone knows when your big day is! ..

Instagram now allows you to resize and move your countdown to make more space for pics, stickers, location, gifs, and other Instagram captions. Once you publish your countdown, Instagram will save it and allow you to reuse it later. ..

3. Birthday Reveal

  1. Take a picture of your birthday person and write their name on the back.
  2. Use a marker to write out their birthday date on the back of the picture.
  3. Post the picture on Instagram with the caption, “My birthday reveal!”

On July 15, 2018, my birthday, I was surprised with a gift that I never expected. My best friend sent me a cake that said “Happy Birthday!” in large letters. It was so sweet and thoughtful!

4. Birthday Collage

If you’re close to the person celebrating their birthday and have a lot of memorable moments together, the best way to share them is through a birthday collage. ..

Instagram has a collage tool called “Stories” that lets you create a photo collage out of your Stories. You can find templates on Canva, which is a third-party app. ..

Happy birthday, friends! Here are some templates to help you create a beautiful birthday photo collage on Instagram.

5. Birthday Memes

To make sure your birthday person has a good time on their special day, include a meme in their Instagram story. You can go as far as creating your own with an inside joke using one of the free tools for making memes.

Meme Generator is a great tool to use if you want to create memes. It has a gallery that gives you access to the most popular memes and can help you automatically place the text on any template.

6. Birthday Surprise

If you can’t make it to the surprise party of the birthday person, you can still use your Instagram stories to surprise them with a gift or a fun memory. For example, if you’re a fan of baking, you could make a cake for them and put it in their fridge so they can enjoy it when they get home.

You’ll need to create a series of stories and put the caption Tap for a birthday surprise on the first slide. At the end of the series, post a surprise story. It could be a picture with the first memory that you have of the birthday person, an embarrassing photo of you two together, or simply a photo or a screenshot of your gift to them.

7. Birthday Cake

If you can’t give them a real cake, the virtual cake is the next best thing. Choose a gif to deliver an animated cake right to their DMs, use a stock image of a yummy birthday cake, or draw your own custom cake using the colors and things they like.

To make your birthday cake stories more interactive, add a caption saying something like “tap to blow out candles” or “make a wish,” then add a second story with the candles blown out.

8. Birthday Bingo

Do you like to celebrate birthdays together? Why not organize a birthday bingo and get everyone involved?

Here are some fun facts about your favorite person’s birthday: -They were born on July 24th -They are a fan of the Boston Red Sox -They have two dogs and a cat -They love spending time with their family and friends -On their birthday, they will be turning 36 years old
