  • Happy Friday!
  • Cheers! I’d love to do something with you this weekend. Would you like to come out with me?

9. Have a Great Weekend

“Have a great weekend” shows that you accept someone’s kind words. It shows that you want them to enjoy their “weekend” after the “Happy Friday” has ended.

This phrase works best when Friday is the last day of work for both you and the person wishing you a happy Friday. It shows that you can both let loose and enjoy time away from work.

10. I’ve Got a Busy Weekend

“I’ve got a busy weekend” lets the speaker know that you have plans over the weekend. It could be positive or negative, meaning that “Happy Friday” might not be as “Happy” after all.

  • Happy Friday!
  • I’ve got a busy weekend, but I’m glad you’re remaining positive. Fridays are usually more fun than this.
  • Happy Friday!
  • I’ve got such a busy weekend! I’m looking forward to some time away from work, though.

11. See You on Monday

“See you on Monday” is a great way to respond to “Happy Friday.” It shows that you (and the well-wisher) are going to leave for Friday to enjoy your weekend doing various activities.

The implication is that you won’t see each other again until you’re back at work on the following Monday. It’s a great way to show appreciation and acceptance of “Happy Friday” without having to return the message directly.

  • Happy Friday!
  • See you on Monday! I hope you’ve got some awesome pictures to share with me then.
  • Happy Friday!
  • See you on Monday. I can’t wait to hear all about the things you got up to while you were camping.

12. Got Any Plans?

“Got any plans?” allows you to set up a positive conversation with someone. It checks with them to see if they have anything fun planned. It’s a great way to see what they might get up to over the weekend while they’re not at work.

It might also give you some ideas to do yourself. If you want to do fun new things on the weekend, “got any plans?” could help you come up with “plans” of your own.

  • Happy Friday!
  • Got any plans? I’d love to hear some of your ideas to make the most of your time away.
  • Happy Friday!
  • Have you got any plans? I’m keen to hear about them! I love hearing people’s weekend ideas.

13. I’ve Been Looking Forward to the Weekend

“I’ve been looking forward to the weekend” shows that you’re enjoying the “Happy Friday” before the weekend begins. It’s a great way to show that you’re ready to leave work for the weekend and make the most of your time off.

Most people will relate to this sentiment. It’s a good choice if you’re looking to set up a brief conversation about weekend plans.

  • Happy Friday!
  • I’ve been looking forward to the weekend since Monday! This is going to be a good one.
  • Happy Friday!
  • I’ve been looking forward to the weekend. It’s about time that I get to have some fun.

14. I’m Glad Work’s Over!

“I’m glad work’s over!” is a great informal phrase you can use. “Work’s” means “work is” here; it’s a contraction rather than the possessive form. It should only be used informally because you’ve contracted “is.”

Still, it’s a great way to talk to your colleagues about your enjoyment of work being “over.” It works best on a Friday because that’s generally when a working week ends.

  • Happy Friday!
  • I’m glad work’s over! It feels like it’s been going on for way longer than it needs to this week.
  • Happy Friday!
  • I’m glad work’s over! It’s such a nice change of pace to enjoy a weekend.
