When an individual tells you “Have a nice day,” they are simply wishing you a good day. It could be their creative idea of a thoughtful goodbye or an expression of their best wishes for you. The typical response many people adopt today is to give them a shallow “You too” response.
If you don’t want to be that boring but reply to “Have a nice day” with something that adds positivity and warmth, you have found the perfect resource for that. This article is a curation of some of the best ways to respond to “Have a nice day” that may not be on the top of your lips in the spur of the moment.
May Your Day Be Fulfilling And Filled With Positivity
A heartfelt prayer and wish like this is going to get anyone feeling happy. No one expects a prayer such as this especially when it isn’t a festive period.
Who says we must only send in wishes and prayers when it is Easter or Christmas? The response, “May your day be fulfilling and filled with positivity” prays for a fulfilled day and they are going to want that.
You Too. Today’s Gonna Be A Great Day. I Feel It
I knew a jolly-good fellow who would always say “Today’s gonna be a great day. I feel it.” This injects a sense of positivity about the day which often translates into a good one after all. When someone tells you “Have a nice day,” you can tell them you believe it i going to be a great day because you feel. That aura of positivity can be all they need to have a good day too.
I Sure Will. It’s The Last Lap Before The Weekend And I Am Super Excited
As someone who works in the corporate space, Fridays are going to be nice days because of the weekend, right? This is another angle to draw your phrase. You could say “It is going to be a nice day alright.”
I Am Sure It’d Be A Great Day Seeing You’ve Wished For It
“I am sure it’d be a great day seeing you’ve wished for it” is a sweet and cheerful response to give someone who says you should have a nice day. They would be smiling if they think of it as them being so special to you. That’s why I’d recommend this response to someone who’s your partner, close friend, or relative.
Well, Thanks To You, My Day Is Made Already
If someone did something for you, maybe brought you coffee or helped you do something burdensome, and they tell you to have a nice day, you can show your appreciation for them in response by saying “Well, thanks to you, my day is made already.” Acknowledging that they’ve made your day is an easy way to show your appreciation for their kindness and wishes.
Provided I Don’t Encounter Any Cranky Customers, I Am Sure It Would Be
As someone who works with people or serves the general public, you could respond to “Have a nice day” with something you believe will make it a nice day. In the main example, “Provided I don’t encounter any cranky customers, I am sure it would be,” I used cranky customers. You could tweak it to refer to clients or colleagues as the case may be.
- If everyone at the office behaves themselves and does what they are supposed to do, it’s going to be a good day.
- I could only have a nice day when more customers kept their frustration at the door when entering my store.
If You Could, Help Me Forward The Last Batch Of Those Emails. That Would Be Very Much Appreciated
Giving final marching orders after someone tells you to “Have a nice day” isn’t a bad response. With an appreciation before the orders, you are good to go. Hence, before you say the response used in this section, you could say “Great job everyone” then add “If you could, help me forward the last batch of those emails. That would be very much appreciated.” The goal is to appreciate them and when they bid you goodbye, add the instructions.
Don’t Just Have A Nice Day. Have An Absolute Blast.
Greatly recommended when you are interacting with your significant other and they wish you a nice day. By telling them, “Don’t just have a nice day. Have an absolute blast.” It’d be perfect if they had a job or something they intended to do that day. Notwithstanding, you can tell it to anyone.
Thanks, I’ll Be Resting Though For Most Of The Day
When someone says “Have a nice day” but they are your friends or people you could give personal details to, you could use the opportunity to share your plan for the day. It may not directly correlate to their wish but if it has to do with your day, then they can know about it. Make it short though.
- Yeah, I’d be hitting the gym tonight.
- Having a dentist appointment and after that, I’d be MIA.
After Such A Sumptuous Meal, I Am Confident It’d Be A Nice Day
This is a good response I suggest you give when a waiter or a chef at an eatery you just dined in tells you to have a nice day. You are appreciating them for the meal while noting something important about it. It may not be food alone. Imagine walking into a Starbucks to pick up coffee and one of the baristas says “Have a nice day,” you can respond with ‘With my caffeine boost, there are no bad days.”
I’d Be Coming Here Again
You lodged in a hotel or visited a spa and the customer service tells you to have a nice day as you leave, you could use this as an opportunity to let them know how much you enjoyed their services. One of the best ways to express this is to mention that you’ll be using them again.
- Next time I am in town, this is where I’d be staying. Thanks.
- I can’t think of somewhere else to go now. You’ve impressed me.
You Were Helpful. Thank You For Your Professional Services
If someone provides you with a service and wishes you a nice day, it’s always a kind gesture to express your gratitude for their assistance. You can thank them for their services and let them know how much you appreciate their help or simply state that you were pleased with the services they provided.
- Your services are top-notch and I am most pleased with them.
- If every handyman does things like you do, we’d have less grumpy clients.
Do Make The Most Of Your Day
Another way you can reciprocate the kind gesture of someone who says you should have a nice day would be to wish them one in return. However, we don’t want to say it that way. You could say “Do make the most of your day” and that’d suffice.
You Are Good At What You Do. Can’t Think Of Working With Anyone But You
Most times you are going to hear someone tell you to have a nice day after they did something for you and you are about to leave. A good way you can respond to their wish in this regard is to say “You are good at what you do. Can’t think of working with anyone but you.” They are going to feel happy that you enjoyed working with them so much that you think you’ll love working with them because of how good they were.
I Will Knowing I’d Be Coming Home To You
This is a lovely, sweet one to give someone who’s your partner. What could be sweeter than letting them know that you believe you are going to have a nice day because you know you’ll come home to them? This lovely remark is going to elevate their mood.
Don’t Go Causing Trouble When I Am Away. If You Do, Call My Number
“Don’t go causing trouble when I am away. If you do, call my number” is a cheerful way to respond to ‘Have a nice day’ when it is from a friend or partner. It is a cheeky response, one that would brighten the mood around, putting a smile on their face.
I’ve Got Plans To Make It A Good One.
You can respond to “Have a nice day” with a statement that hints that you have a few tricks up your sleeves to make the day good enough. This may not fall in place with someone who isn’t a close friend. Better still, stick to using, “I’ve got plans to make it a good one.”
All The Very Best To You
In addition to responding to “Have a nice day” with “All the very best to you,” you can also consider using “Wishing you all the best” or “Wishing you the very best” as alternative parting remarks. These phrases are versatile and can be used in both formal and informal settings, whether you’re addressing a friend or a colleague at work. It’s a thoughtful way to convey your well-wishes and positivity towards the other person.
I’ll Be Home Pretty Soon
You can also respond with “I’ll be home pretty soon” when someone you are going to meet at home at the end of the day tells you to have a nice one. The idea is to tell them what you plan on doing at the end of the day.
- I’d be home before you know it.
- Would pass by the grocery store to get the things we need.
Meeting You Surely Has Guaranteed That
You can send butterflies into the belly of the person who’s wishing you a nice day by saying “Meeting you surely has guaranteed that.” No way they won’t feel special when you say this to them. They’d consider themselves very important that you see meeting them as having a huge impact on the outlook of their day.
