What's the best way to make a belated wish feel sincere?‹
Be honest and briefly acknowledge the delay, but then focus most of your message on your genuine wishes for their happiness and appreciation for them. Keep the tone warm and heartfelt, perhaps adding a touch of lighthearted humor if appropriate for your relationship.
Should I include a gift with a belated anniversary wish?‹
A gift is not mandatory, but it can be a nice gesture, especially if you feel particularly bad about the delay or if it's a significant anniversary. Often, a thoughtful card with a genuine, personalized message is more than enough to show your love and care.
