Tips for Writing the Best Belated Birthday Wish
- 1Own it briefly, then pivot to celebration, grovelling paragraphs help nobody.
- 2Humour is your rescue rope: blame the calendar, the traffic, the naps.
- 3Make the surprise BIGGER than usual, photos, candles, the works.
- 4Send it now, not "soon". Late + prompt beats late + later.
