Belated Birthday Wishes

As a gentle reminder for all those forgetful minds, 'Birthdays come once in all the 365 days around the Sun!' Birthday wishes may be nothing but simple chain of words, but they mean the most for the person on his/her special day. You may never realize what happiness and sense of being loved and cared, you may express for the special person with a simple wish of yours, which can be as plain as 'Happy Birthday Dear!'

But there are times when you just cannot make it on time or become too busy to remember the day. And this is what stresses on the fact that your belated birthday wishes must be more than just words in black and white; they have to be extra special.

And if you are wondering how to make up to your loved one for not wishing her/him on time, consider some of these examples compiled here.

Hey I am extremely sorry for forgetting your birthday. But if you reschedule it some time next week, I promise I will make it this time!

Alright I forgot your birthday. Forgive me and I will forgive you when you forget mine next month!

You know you should thank me for forgetting your birthday! Because of me you are having a longer celebration.

If I just had my Time Machine, which by the way, I left at the Bahamas last week, I would have certainly gone back in time... Happy belated birthday!

Isn't your birthday on the 29th of Feb? I thought I will wish you after four years!

Sorry I couldn't help you blow off the candles on your cake. Happy birthday dear.

Your anti aging skin care products sure make me forget your birthday!

How can I forget your birthday? I just wished you one year back!

So what I forgot your birthday. Unlike you, I at least remembered that I forgot your birthday!

Although I was drunk, I did wish you on you birthday last night! Didn't I? Hmm... But why were you speaking Chinese? Anyway... Happy belated birthday!

Birthdays are very difficult to remember you know. Especially when there is no delicious mouth-watering chocolate cake around!

I have been taking lessons in telepathy from past couple of weeks. I guess, I have to put in more practice, as my birthday wish couldn't reach you on time!

All I wanted to do is to help you remember that two days ago it was your birthday. That is why I am wishing you today... Happy belated birthday!

"How do I begin to tell you how honored I am
To have you in my life?
I'll start by saying it was a dream come true
The day you became my wife. You're my best friend in the good times
And my rock in times of sorrow.
You're the reason for sweet yesterdays
And my promise for tomorrow.
I never thought I could feel this loved
Until you became my wife.
You made this year and each other year
The best of my life."

Love always,

of peace and tranquility
to every life they touch.

You are one of those people.
You are a gift
of peace and tranquility
in my life."
