A belated anniversary message is a late message usually sent to a person or a group of persons who are celebrating the complete one year cycle in marriage, work, relationship, or even in a change of lifestyle/habit. In certain cases, you might have made plans to join your friend or family in their anniversary celebration, but all your plans came to nought.
Rather than beat yourself up in regrets or back out completely, you can make up for the tampered-with plans by sending belated anniversary messages to them, even as your apology follows. Here are guidelines cum sample happy belated anniversary messages for you:
