These days time passes us by with the blink of an eye. Being too busy with work, school, family, just life in general – it happens to the best of us. In fact we get so caught up in day to day that we even forget special occasions, like a loved ones Birthday. There’s usually an inner debate in your mind, wondering…should I still send a belated Birthday card? The answer is absolutely send one out!
These days there are so many options for those who need to send out late Birthday wishes. You can totally make a joke about it, if the recipient has a great sense of humor. You could also be completely sincere incase the person gets offended easily. Actually, I find the belated birthday cards usually are the funniest! If you choose to take a serious, more apologetic approach for your temporary forgetfulness, you can always write a personal message that has some humor. The best of both worlds!
Regardless if you forgot a friend’s, coworker’s or a family member’s special day, you will definitely win some points back by sending out a belated Birthday card. Just like the saying goes, “Better late than never!”
I always forget to send birthday cards. By the time I remember and get to the store it always seems pointless.
Cards make a statement. I’d rather a late card than generic text.
Better late than never absolutely applies. Always send the card.
I agree that sending a birthday card late is better than not sending at all.
Send the card. Better late than never.
I would send it. The recognition is better than ignoring the event entirely.
I keep birthdays in my iCal with reminders so I can remember to send cards.
