Funny Belated Birthday Memes
We are bringing the funny belated birthday memes so don’t feel bad you were just delayed.

When I was in corporate America, I loved printing out memes and taping them to my co-worker’s desk! Yes, ironic but that was totally the point!
This tactic also works well for every day use, especially when stress in the office is high. Check out our work memes to help make a day better!
Rather than being trendy and wishing your friend a happy birthday on their actual birthday.
I mean, who really wants the gifts and cake covered in confetti when you can just gift your friend a funny belated birthday meme.
Everyone is sending birthday wishes on the actual date of someone’s birth is fine. But what really matters is when you are late and no one is thinking of your friend or loved one but you are. Because you are late.
Slow to Wish Happy Birthday
When you are slow it’s best to just call it out. If your friend or family member knows you well, chances are that they know that you are slow and they totally didn’t expect to get an on-time bday greeting from you anyways.
So own your slow with these funny belated birthday memes!
Better Late Than Never
We are all busy and unless your friend is a real well let’s just say a not very graceful person, they will forgive you.
Birthday greetings are better late than never. Just send the belated meme and ask for forgiveness, also don’t be mad at your friend if they are late or forget your special day next year!
Forgot Your Birthday
Don’t you hate when you remember that you forgot an important date? I’ve started putting people’s birthdays in my phone calendar but you have to remember to make it an annual event!
Or you could just ignore that you are late and reframe it as something else. Donald Trump would!
Now Chuck Norris on the other hand, he would just change the date to today.

3 Tips for Remembering Birthdays
Here are 3 tips to help you remember someone’s birthday so next year you can just send a regular birthday meme and not have to *face palm* send a happy belated birthday meme.
Using technology, here are 3 easy and helpful ways to not be that person who is late or forgetful. And if you are that person, don’t worry. Do as I say, not as I do.
- Phone Contacts – Put your friends and family birth dates in your contacts on your phone. By doing this, you will get a notice on your phone’s calendar on their bday.
- Facebook – Yes, I know. We all have a love hate relationship with FB. This is the only way that I have any recollection of birthdays – yes family included. You can actually see birthdays now a few days in advance on Facebook home screen’s right sidebar when on your computer.
This is helpful to know and has saved me many times when someone special is about to turn a year older! (If you have quit Facebook – Facebook quitter memes are perfect for those who have quit the book of faces.) - Family Google Calendar – get that Type A person in your family to create a family Google calendar featuring all of your family members’ birthdates. Add in your friends dates as well. Make the Google family birthday calendar shareable so now there isn’t an excuse when you forget your sister’s birthday.
