Oh my days, possibly the worst case scenario you can possibly face. Forgetting your girlfriend of wife’s birthday is an absolute nightmare situation that you really must try and avoid at all costs.
And in all honesty there really is no excuse as to why you have forgotten it in the first place, as it’s only one date in the year (other than your mums) that you need to remember.
But if you have gone and failed or know you will fail and need to fully prepare in advance, here are some lame excuses that may just win your girlfriend over, but we are guessing that you won’t make it past the first word.
“But you look so young and never seem to age, how am I meant to keep up with your birthday when you always look the same?”
- “I know I haven’t got you a birthday card but I wanted to recite a poem I have thought of myself from the heart. I thought it would be much more personal and you would appreciate it more than a soppy card that someone else has written.” (Be prepared to recite the ‘poem you have made up’ on the spot!)
- “You know what, I was just thinking birthdays are for kids and with you being such a mature and wonderful human being I assumed you wouldn’t want all the fuss and hassle.”
- “I celebrate every day of my life that I am with you and see your birthday as just another happy day in my life.”
- “The reason I didn’t get your a birthday card or present this year is because I am saving for your Christmas present which will be huge! (This won’t work if her birthday is December 26th!)
- “Honey, I haven’t forgotten your birthday. I am in fact using the shire calender from Lord of the Rings which effectively means that your birthday is in five days time.
If all else fails then we seriously consider that you buy the biggest bouquet of flowers, lots of chocolates and sweet treats, little gifts and accessories, as well as one big present, a 25- course meal cooked by you and on top of that a huge sorry you will never forget their birthday again.
It really isn’t worth the hassle is it? In fact why not save yourself the stress and start your day by sending a personalised card via ecards.co.uk, the hassle free and rather cheap way to say Happy Birthday to the person you love.
If you have left the house for work and realised afterwards that you have forgotten your other half’s birthday, jump online to ecards.co.uk, choose a birthday card from the selection available on the site, add your personal message and then send it to their email address for free; a nice surprise for when they open up their emails and a quick solution to the fact that you have actually forgotten to buy them a card or present.
There is nothing worse than going Saturday shopping with your mates to buy your girlfriend a soppy Happy Birthday card…how embarrassing.
