Can i say happy late birthday. Oops I am late. I hope your year ahead explodes with exciting opportunities interesting connections and wondrous experiences. This is not what you mean.

Lately I have been living more on a lunar calendar than the solar one. Hope you had a great birthday. Paul Brians However most people arent too pedantic and it is quite acceptable to use either phrasing.

When someone says Happy belated birthday they mean sorry for being late but happy birthday But the phrase Happy belated birthday actually implies the birthday itself is happening late belatedly. Is it correct to say Happy belated birthday. Wishing a happy belated birthday to one of the most wonderful people in my life.

Im sorry Im late but I wish you all the best for a meaningful and happy year ahead. If you can t say anything nice don t say anything at all. But seriously Happy Birthday.

But being the loyal friend that I am heres a belated birthday wish just for you. Sorry I am late in wishing you a happy birthday. I hope that life always treats you well and gives you a reason to smile.

If they were it would make much more sense to express such wishes in the morning rather than the evening when most of the day is already gone but the latter is in fact far more common. So Im wishing you again for the coming birthday and hope this time you. There is really no point in wishing someone happy birthday after their birthday has gone by.
