Who hasn't had this happen at least once in their life? Forgetting a birthday, while not the most serious thing in the world, is never pleasant. Everyone wishes to be present in a loved one's life, especially on a birthday. If you are reading this blog, it means that it has happened to you. Don't make a big deal out of it! You can still send your birthday wishes, even if they are a few days late. Perhaps you can emphasise on the fact that you forgot and turn your oversight into a funny moment.

In this blog we have gathered a list of belated birthday wishes, whether they are humorous or more affectionate.
