Birthdays are a special time to celebrate another year of life, joy, and growing up while sending heartfelt wishes to our loved ones. But sometimes, life gets busy, and we might end up sending birthday wishes a bit late. That’s where belated birthday wishes come in handy. They help us say sorry for being late while still keeping our wishes warm and real. We have a bunch of these wishes for friends and family, and we even have special messages for partners, siblings, and friends. We also give tips on how to say “happy belated birthday” in different ways. So, with all these options, you can still send your genuine and warm birthday wishes, even if they’re a little late!
