Well, let the birthday person know that he or she is important and very special to you anyway. You might have forgotten the date but have definitely not forgotten him. Let him know with a handmade 'I'm sorry I forgot your birthday.' kind of card.

What To Say In Your Belated Birthday Cards

Or just say, "Sorry, I'm late but you are not forgotten. Let's have dinner together to let me show you how special you are."

Another idea is: "Belated Birthday Wishes! I did not forget your birthday. It's just that you are so special it took me so long to hunt for that special gift for you."
