English term or phrase: Happy Birthday!
I want to make a sign that says "Happy Birthday Rostislav" for a professional hockeye player here in the US. I'm hoping a shorter way of writing if there is one. Thanks to whoever can help me

Czech translation:Všechno nejlepší k narozeninám, Rostislave
Explanation:
This is the full translation.
If you need to make it shorter maybe you could leave out the ´k narozeninám´part (birthday), hoping that Rostislav will remember that he has one today, and you can also leave out the name in the end.
If you say: ´Všechno nejlepší´ he will certainly understand

Please, view the Czech letters with Center European Windows encoding.

Explanation:
The answers of my colleagues were good, however, you say you want a short version. This is the shortest you can achieve, I think.
If you use the second variant, you use a familiar form of the Czech name.
