A great follow-up question!
"Happy belated birthday" is a variation of the traditional "Happy Birthday to You" greeting, but with a twist. Instead of sending birthday wishes on the actual day of someone's birth, you're offering them belated congratulations, usually because you forgot or couldn't make it to celebrate with them at the right time.
The phrase acknowledges that you didn't get to wish them a happy birthday on their special day, but you still want to express your good wishes and celebrate with them, albeit a little late. It's like saying, "Hey, I know I'm running a bit behind schedule, but I hope you had an amazing birthday despite my tardiness!"
When sending belated birthday wishes, it's common to add a brief message or apology for not being able to celebrate earlier. For example:
"Happy belated birthday! I'm so sorry I didn't get to wish you a happy birthday on your actual day, but I hope you had an amazing celebration and I'm sending lots of love your way!"
Or:
"Belated happy birthday wishes! I know I missed the boat on celebrating with you on time, but I hope you're having an incredible year so far. Cheers to many more adventures ahead!"
Here are some examples of happy late birthday wishes for your best friend:
1. "Happy belated birthday to my favorite person in the world! I'm so sorry it's taken me this long to wish you a happy birthday, but I hope your special day was still amazing despite being late"
2. "I know it's not on time, but I wanted to make sure you knew how much I care about you and celebrate another year of life! Happy belated birthday, bestie!"
3. "Better late than never, right? Just wanted to say happy birthday and hope your day was as amazing as you are"
4. "I'm a little late to the party, but that's not going to stop me from wishing my favorite person in the world a happy birthday! Here's to another year of adventures together"
5. "You may have already blown out the candles, but I still want to wish you a happy belated birthday! Hope your day was filled with love, laughter, and all your favorite things"
6. "I know birthdays are supposed to be about celebrating yourself, but let's be real - they're also about getting gifts and having fun with friends like me! Happy belated birthday, bestie!"
7. "Life got in the way, but I didn't want to miss the opportunity to wish you a happy birthday! You deserve all the happiness and celebration in the world"
8. "Here's to another year of making memories, laughing together, and being our fabulous selves! Happy belated birthday, best friend"
Remember, it's the thought that counts, not the timing! Your best friend will likely appreciate the effort you put into wishing them a happy birthday, even if it's a little late.

When someone says "Belated Happy Birthday", they're acknowledging the person's birthday, but also indicating that it was late, i.e., not on the actual day of their birth. It's like saying, "I know it's already passed, but I wanted to wish you a happy birthday anyway!"

Here are some possible scenarios where "Belated Happy Birthday" might come in handy:
1. You forgot someone's birthday and now it's a few days or weeks later.
2. You missed the person's birthday celebration, but still want to show you care.
