Belated Birthday Wishes

Hope you had a truly special birthday. I know I missed your special day but, as far as I'm concerned, every day of the year is special because you were born.

Happy belated birthday! Although I'm late with my birthday message this year, please know I wish you well all year-round.

Happy birthday (a little late). Sorry, your birthday just slipped my mind. I hope you still consider me your friend.

Sure, I missed your birthday, but I would never miss the chance to wish "happy birthday" to you! Hope yours was a truly happy one!

A special belated "happy birthday" to a friend who has earned the right to forget my birthday at least once in our lifetime (no expiration).

Happy "only a day late" birthday! You can't really blame me — you're so important to me that I thought I would just extend your birthday by another 24 hours.

More than anyone I know, you deserve to have your birthday celebrated at least twice a year. Happy belated birthday!

Wishing you a late, yet incredibly warm "happy birthday" that you can carry in your heart! Hope you had an amazingly special day.

Late birthday wishes can actually add to your celebration, making your big day last even longer. So...Happy belated birthday, my friend.

Dear friend, please accept my apology for missing your special day and, of course, happy belated birthday to you. Hope you had a wonderful, fun celebration.

Here's a "Happy Belated Birthday" to a friend who knows the real me, but still likes me anyway. Thanks for being a friend who forgives everything I do.

You have so many great qualities, but your greatest is your capacity for forgiveness. Please forgive me for these belated "Happy Birthday" wishes!

Anybody can remember a birthday, but only your best friend is able to remember your birthday, days and days after it. Happy belated birthday!

I'm so sorry for forgetting your big day. This doesn't mean that you're unimportant to me. It means that you're too close a friend for me to ghost you, even though I feel stupid for missing your special day. Happy birthday (a little late), my friend.

I wish I could turn back the clock, just to wish you "Happy Birthday" on time. But I can't. Hope you can forgive me. Happy belated birthday, pal!

Wishing you all the birthday joy that life has to offer. I know I'm a little late but, as my BFF, I hope you understand: I'm an idiot! Happy belated birthday from a very sorry friend.

I hope you had a wonderful time on your birthday. I know I wasn't there for it this time, but you should know I regret every second I was late with my birthday wishes. Happy belated birthday!

Sorry, I missed your big day, so I'll share my belated birthday wishes with you now: May the universe fill your life with unbridled joy. Happy belated birthday!

Here's my belated birthday wish for you, my dearest friend: may all your dreams, no matter how fanciful, come true this year. Happy belated birthday!

I may be late in wishing "Happy Birthday" to you, but my wish for you is the same all 365 days of the year: be well, be happy, be strong, be yourself. That's what makes you a true friend.

I may be the last to wish "Happy Birthday" to you this year, but you know what they say, right? You should always save the best for last. Happy belated birthday, pal.

Happy belated birthday! Although this birthday wish comes to you a few days late, my hope is that it brings you joy every day of the year.

If I know you, your birthday celebration is still going strong way after your big day, so my birthday wish for you is not technically late. Happy belated birthday, BFF.

Happy belated birthday! Even though I missed my chance to wish you well on your birthday, I hope that you did not miss out on the best celebration ever.

I was in such shock that you're getting older that I couldn't even compose myself to wish you "Happy Birthday" on time. Happy belated birthday from your lousy friend (and a lousy liar).

I have this nagging feeling that you celebrated your birthday just the other day. Oh yeah, it was the other day. Sorry, I'm late with my birthday wishes. Happy belated birthday, pal.

Hope you had a happy birthday. Even though my "Happy Birthday" arrived after your birthday, I truly hope you're happy 365 days a year. 

Happy belated birthday! Please, please, please forgive me for being late (and last) with your birthday wishes. Remember, good friends don't let good friends go unforgiven.

I would do anything for you, but I can't turn back time, so this "Happy Birthday" is, unfortunately, a little late in arriving. Sorry, [bro, sis, Mom, Dad, cous]!

If I could defy the laws of physics, I would turn back the clock and wish you "Happy Birthday" on time. So, a little late than never, Happy belated birthday, [bro, sis, Mom, Dad, cous]!

Happy belated birthday, [bro, sis, Mom, Dad, cous]! I know I’m a bit late in wishing "Happy Birthday" to you, but I also know you love me so much that I'm forgiven, right? Pretty please!

I may have forgotten your birthday, but does this "faux pas" of mine really matter...at your age? Happy belated birthday, [bro, sis, Mom, Dad, cous], you old fart!

In the spirit of family peace, [bro, sis, Mom, Dad, cous], why don't we just pretend that my belated birthday wishes weren't late at all?! Happy belated birthday!

Anybody can remember to wish you "Happy Birthday" on your big day. How many people can remember to do it days later. Only family can. That’s right, [bro, sis, Mom, Dad, cous], I just did an amazing thing for you. Happy belated birthday!

Oops, I did it again...I missed your birthday! I wish I could tell you that I forgot your big day for a good reason, but I don't have one. Happy belated birthday! Do you still love me?

I forgot your birthday but I have a good reason: TDS (Time Distortion Syndrome). I suffer from it whenever I'm embarrassingly late. Sorrrry! Happy belated birthday!

[Bro, Sis, Mom, Dad, Cous], I know I forgot your birthday this year, so here's an early "Happy Birthday" for next year. Who says I don't love you.

Happy belated birthday! If you were born today instead of yesterday, my belated birthday wishes wouldn't be late at all. As usual, this is your fault.

Happy belated birthday! Sorry for the late birthday wishes. I guess I just assumed you wouldn't notice at your ripe, old age. My bad.

Happy belated birthday! I’m sorry for the late birthday wishes, but can you really blame me? It's almost impossible to remember your birthday. You look as young as ever, [bro, sis, Mom, Dad, cous]!

I have good news and bad news for you. The bad news, as you know, is that I forgot your birthday. The good news? I forgot your age, too. Happy belated birthday, [bro, sis, Mom, Dad, cous]!

I bet you got a pile of birthday messages on your big day. Now that your birthday, birthday cake and balloons are long gone, who do you think is still celebrating your birthday? Me, that's who. I'm the only one who's still celebrating your birthday. Happy belated birthday! Feels good, right? 

Because you haven't changed at all since your last birthday and you are as beautiful as you ever were, I forgot your birthday this year. Happy belated birthday, [bro, sis, Mom, Dad, cous]!

Hey, I wasn't "late" with your birthday wishes. I was "fashionably late"... on purpose. Just saying. Anyway, happy belated birthday, [bro, sis, Mom, Dad, cous]!

In lieu of a surprise party, I thought I'd surprise you with belated birthday wishes. You're family, after all. Anyway, happy belated birthday, [bro, sis, Mom, Dad, cous]!

You should take my belated birthday wishes as a compliment. You look so good for your age that I forgot your birthday. Anyway, happy belated birthday, [bro, sis, Mom, Dad, cous]!

I was late with my birthday wishes for a very (albeit selfish) reason: I didn’t want to be the first person to remind you that you’re becoming an old fart. Happy belated birthday!

I'm a big believer in making birthday celebrations last for days and days. Hence, my belated birthday wishes. That's what makes me a great [daughter, son, brother, sister, mother, father]. Happy belated birthday!

Happy belated birthday to the world's best [daughter, son, brother, sister, mother, father, cousin] from the worst [daughter, son, brother, sister, mother, father, cousin in the world. Sorry for the belated birthday wishes!

Hope you had a happy birthday. Yes, I missed your special day by a mile, but I think that this birthday message will make you smile — or am I just in denial.

Hope you had a great birthday. I missed eating your cake on your birthday, so I plan to eat at least two desserts today to make up for it.

Hope you had a wonderful birthday. I'm a little late, so I hope you're on the "better late than never" team. Yaaaaay, late team!

Happy belated birthday! There's no excuse for how late I am with your birthday message, but you know I can make one up if I had to. 

Although I lost my mind for all 24 hours of your birthday and forgot to wish  "happy birthday" to you, I hope you'll accept a "belated happy birthday" now as a down payment for a BIG, BIG, BIG birthday hug.

It’s apparent that you have been blessed with many things on your birthday. Unfortunately, a punctual birthday message from me was not one of them. Happy belated birthday!

It feels like you just had a birthday the other day. Oh yeah, you did. Sorry, I am late. Happy belated birthday!

I know I'm a little late with your "Happy Birthday" this year. Don't hate me. I just forgot to remember your birthday. Happy belated birthday!

Hey, I may be late with your birthday wish, but I’m at least on time with my apology. Happy belated birthday!

A real friend takes you drinking on your birthday to make you forget your age. I forgot your birthday but we can still go drinking to forget I forgot it. Happy belated birthday!

I didn't really forget your special day — I just figured you deserved more than one this year. Happy belated birthday!

Hope you had an unbelieveable birthday. For me, it's almost impossible to remember your special day. No matter what age you turn, you don't look a day over your last birthday.

I wanted to give you your birthday message late, so you would have enough time to grieve the loss of your youth. Hope your birthday was rejuvenating.

This birthday message is not late. It’s unbelievably early — for your next birthday. Hope your special day was as incredible as you are (yes, I'm buttering you up)!

I'm sorry I missed your birthday, but you've had so many that I've lost count. Happy belated birthday!

A belated "happy birthday" to my favorite person in the world. Sure, technically, I forgot your birthday. In reality, though, I was once again just fashionably late for another BIG event.

Lately, you have been on my mind — a little too late, though. So here's my belated "happy birthday" wish for you.

Hope your birthday was the best ever. I'm very sorry I missed it — it totally slipped my mind. I guess that's what happens when you've had too many birthdays of your own.

I like to be the first to wish people a “happy birthday,” so consider this birthday wish 11 months or so early.

Yes, it's true that I completely forgot your birthday but I think I should get some points for remembering I forgot it. Happy belated birthday!

I'm late, I'm late, I'm late for a very important date. And that date would be your birthday. Hope yours was great!

Darling, the best birthday wishes are like the best people — they come fashionably late. Hope your birthday was a smashing success!

You shouldn't unfriend me because I didn't remember your birthday. You should unfriend me because I remember your age. Happy belated birthday!

Sorry, I missed your actual birthday but I've rescheduled it for, um, uh, today. Happy belated birthday!

A belated "happy birthday" from your BFF. Sure, I completely forgot your birthday but I promise you that this won't happen again this year.

Violets are blue. Roses are red. I'm too late for this year's party, so think of this "happy birthday" as a year ahead.

Happy belated birthday! I’m truly sorry for forgetting it. I messed up and I would like to make it right. What do you need me to do for you? Nothing gross, though!

A belated "happy birthday" to you, my best, best, best friend. Sorry for the late birthday wishes but you know me: I live in the slow lane — so slow that I'm always behind you and everybody else. That's why I'm way behind you when it comes to celebrating your birthday. 

I'm so sorry for missing your birthday but look at it this way: your birthday celebration is so much longer this year because of me. Happy belated birthday!

Belated birthday wishes are like the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus and Easter Bunny. All come bearing gifts...just not on your birthday. Happy belated birthday!

I have good news and bad news for you. First, the bad news: I forgot your birthday. Now, the good news: I also forgot how old you are. Hope your "whatever" birthday was great.

Your birthday is undeniably a special occasion worth celebrating more than once a year! Happy birthday...again.

On your birthday, it's a time for your good friends to celebrate you. After your birthday, it’s a time for your not-so-organized, slightly forgetful, yet well-intentioned, good friends to celebrate you! Sooooo, happy belated birthday!

I assumed that, at your age, you would forget that I forgot your birthday. But I was incorrect — I forgot that you forget nothing except my birthday.   

I hope you had a positively wonderful birthday. Anyway, enough about you. Let's talk about me.

Sorry, I missed your birthday. This is what happens when you don't remind me about it. Try a little harder next year. Anyway, happy belated birthday!

Happy belated birthday! Sorry for sending these birthday wishes a bit late. Hope you had a wonderfully special day. You deserve it.

Happy belated birthday! Hope these belated birthday wishes find you in good spirits and good health.

A very special (albeit belated) "Happy Birthday" to you! For the record, this doesn't mean I'm late with everything. Just saying.

Happy belated birthday! May the road ahead of you be paved with joy, adventure, health, prosperity and punctual happy birthdays.

Happy belated birthday! First, I'd like to say sorry for the belated birthday wishes. More importantly, I'd also like to thank you for being such an inspirational leader and mentor for all of us here.

Happy belated birthday! I may be late for your big day, but my wish for you every day is always the same: may you feel inspired and alive by whatever you do.

Happy belated birthday! These wishes are belated, so I will get right to the point (I don't want to be any later): may all your birthdays and tomorrows be blessed with immense joy.

Wishing a very special [colleague, boss] an incredibly special, incredibly late "happy birthday" and, of course, incredible joy and health.
