I’m so sorry for sending you belated birthday wishes. Honestly, I didn’t think you would live this long.
Apologies for my belated happy birthday wishes! I hope your birthday was as special as you are!
Even though this is late, it’s never too late to wish you the best of everything. I hope you have a brilliant year ahead!
There’s a very good reason why this birthday wish is late... I forgot. I’m sorry! I hope you had a great day!
No excuse is good enough for missing your birthday! I am very sorry. A very (late) happy birthday to you!
Sending you the happiest of (late) birthday wishes. I’m so sorry I missed your special day! May the coming year be full of many blessings.
I can’t believe I forgot! I hope you had a really lovely birthday.
I didn’t forget your birthday! I just wanted to make it last longer!
Let me be the first to offer you belated birthday wishes!
May this be the least belated of all your belated birthday wishes!
I promise this card isn’t late. It is intentionally arriving after your birth-day, because I think you deserve a whole birth-month. Happy Birth-month!
I hope that your birthday was as wonderful and special as you are. Sorry for my late birthday wishes!
I wish I could rewind the clock just to get back to the right time to say happy birthday. Please forgive me! I hope you had a great day.
I’m so sorry I forgot your birthday. The good news is that if you forget mine next year I’ll forgive you.
Sorry I missed your birthday! But you know me, always fashionably late. Belated happy birthday wishes to you!
Don’t think of this as a late birthday card. Consider it a very early one for next year. Here’s wishing you a wonderful year ahead!
I didn’t really forget your birthday... I just wanted to help you prolong the celebrations!
I know you think this card is a few days late. It’s actually worse than that. This is your card from 2015 that I only just got around to sending.
You’re such a good friend with lots of wonderful gifts - lucky for me, one of them is forgiveness! Sorry I missed your big day.
