    • Happy birthday! At least you’re not as old as you will be next year.

    • Another year together has come and gone. What would I do without you? Not open jars, that’s for sure. Happy birthday man!
    • Happy birthday! Stay sharp, old fella.

    For funny belated birthday messages, make the silly excuse that you’re extending their birthday celebrations or shift the blame onto someone else (like a carrier pigeon, for example). It's better late than never to send a sweet birthday wish. [8]
    • I know you had lots of birthday wishes yesterday, but who is thinking of you today? Me, that’s who. Happy belated birthday!
    • I’m late (I blame the carrier pigeon).
    • Sorry I missed your birthday…hopefully you’ll have another one next year…
    • This card is too late because: (I forgot your birthday, I was too lazy.) I was kidnapped by a UFO.
    • I'm so sorry I forgot your birthday. The good news is that I also forgot your age. Happy Belated Birthday!
    • It wasn’t my fault… Facebook forgot to remind me about your birthday!
    • Happy Birthday! 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!
    • You’re amazing, wise, super cool, fantastic, brilliant, intelligent – but don’t get too excited. I’m only saying all these things because I’m a couple of days late! Happy birthday!
    • You can never just celebrate your birthday on one day. You need the whole month and that’s why I’m sending you this card now.
    • This year I’m celebrating your birth-month instead of your birthday. So happy birth-month to you!
    • They say the best friendships are timeless, so here’s a belated birthday wish that transcends the boundaries of time!
    • It’s so tough to believe that you are getting older, that I decided to wish you a happy birthday late this year.
    • Sorry I wasn’t there with you to mourn the loss of your youth. Happy birthday!
