I am so grateful to have a friend such as you, who is loving and forgiving, and not forgetful, like me! Happy late birthday wishes to you!

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.

I thought I would leave you a while to come to terms with your age before sending your birthday card this year. You’re welcome.

I know birthday wishes are extra special, but so is getting mail and cards on any day. So I’m sending you some extra special late birthday wishes your way to be enjoyed on this non-birthday day!

I know this card is late, but I just wanted to give you time to catch your breath after blowing out ALL of those candles!

Holy Cow, I forgot your birthday! Happy belated birthday. I am udderly ashamed of myself.

I know I’m late wishing you a happy birthday, but mine is coming around soon, and revenge is sweet. I won’t mind, promise!

Sorry I forgot your birthday. But at your age, I don’t suppose it matters? Happy belated birthday old bro!

Apologies for my time perception disorder. Belated happy birthday!

I know I missed your birthday, but I promise I won’t do it again this year! Happy late birthday wishes to you

I know you received so many birthday wishes yesterday, but who’s here with you today? That’s right! Me.

May God bless every day of your life with a ray of sun, a touch of hope, a glint of joy & a drop of love.

I didn’t get a pressie, ‘cos I’m sure you will agree. There really is no greater gift, than a brother just like me!

You’ve always been there for me, and I will always be there for you.
