Belated Birthday Messages

If you are late writing a birthday message, you need to use a great belated birthday message.  Writing in a card is especially difficult when you know you have let a lot of time pass without giving a card.  Use this opportunity to use humor to write a funny belated birthday message.
  1. Na na na na boo boo, I was the last one to wish you a happy birthday this year.  Happy belated birthday.
  2. Hey, I know I’m late with the birthday card, but most people aren’t born on their due date.  I figured it’s o.k. to be a little early or a little late, the way people are born. Happy birthday!
  3. The best birthday surprise is a card that comes late. I just want to let you know that I was holding your card to help build the suspense.  Hope you had a great birthday, and you liked your surprise card.
  4. There are 365 days in a year, and we’re all supposed to aim for one day to give you your card and presents?
  5. Birthdays are like Bigfoot.  They surprise the crap out of you and they are easy to miss.
  6. Hey you probably think I am really late getting you your birthday card, but actually I am just a little early wishing you a happy half birthday.
  7. We’re almost late enough with your birthday card, we could almost wait until next year and give you two cards.
  8. Better late than never for a birthday card… especially when there is money inside; right?
  9. I know I’m late getting you this birthday card, but I know you’ll be the same age for most of another year, so I have plenty of time.
  10. Just sending you this belated birthday message to let you know that I am wishing you a happy birth year instead of just a birthday.  Who says you  can’t celebrate the entire year?  I’m not late at all with your card.
