No matter how far along your Spanish learning journey you are, sooner or later you will need to learn how to say “congratulations” in the language, whether it be for a friend or family member’s birthday, wedding, new baby, or outstanding exam results.

Below is a helpful list of all the various ways to say “happy birthday” and “congrats” in Spanish. It shouldn’t take you too long to memorize these specialized phrases, and you’ll quickly find that you can put them to good use.
