Belated birthday wishes
We know we shouldn’t but it’s so easy to forget to send a friend a birthday message on the day itself. It will still mean a lot if you send them a belated wish, but knowing how to phrase it can be really important and depend on the relationship you have with them and the type of person they are. And the best thing? We have plenty of last minute birthday gifts if you still want to surprise them.
- You have so many good qualities in you, but the one that makes me feel lucky all the time is your forgiveness. Happy belated birthday dear friend!
- Anyone can remember your birthday, but only a true friend will remember it even after the date is gone. Happy belated birthday!

- I hope you had a good time on your birthday. I regret not being there this time. But next year, I promise I will be the first one to wish you a happy birthday!
