If you forgot someone’s birthday, this list of sincere and funny belated birthday wishes and quotes will help you find the best words to say.
Why did we say belated? Being late to wish someone a happy birthday is sometimes not intentional; being held up or maybe being in a circumstance you can’t change doesn’t really mean you aren’t thinking of the person on their special day. So as soon as you can, send out a birthday message to them, no matter how late. Mode of delivery shouldn’t really affect the outcome; after all, isn’t it the thought that counts?
Send one of these beautifully crafted belated happy birthday wishes—some might even convey the real reason you were late—and remind them that they are always on your mind.
