A birthday is a special day to celebrate the life of someone we care about. Even though we may not be able to be with them on their special day, we can still show them how much we care with a heartfelt message. There are many ways to say to wish a happy birthday and each one is special in its own way.

But it is not enough just to say “happy birthday.” You need to make sure your message is thoughtful and conveys your true feelings. You should take time and find the perfect words to make the birthday boy/girl feel loved and appreciated. No matter if you deliver happy belated birthday wishes in person, by text, or through social media, it is always a good idea to add a personal touch.

  1. Please forgive me for not wishing you on your special day. Wishing you a happy belated birthday.
  2. I could have come up with a thousand excuses, but I just decided to plead guilty. Tell me how you’d like to be compensated! Happy late birthday!
  3. I am wishing a bit late, but it doesn’t mean that I love you less. Take my sorry for the delay; I really hope that you had a wonderful day!
  4. The biggest surprise is always the last one. However, not wishing on time was completely intentional. I just wanted to give you a surprise. Belated Happy birthday!
