## About this template

![](https://birthday.video/previews/better-late-than-never.webp) 

Lettered in chunky Shrikhand and Caveat handwriting, it shows “Oops!”, “Happy belated birthday”, “Hannah” and “I may be late, but my love for you is right on time.” until you change them.

The colours are cream, red and teal, over a polka pattern. As it plays, the lettering sways, the lettering rises into place, the lettering wipes on and the photo drops in. There is falling confetti, with a cake sticker.

Fill in their name, who it is from and a short message and add 2 photos or clips; extra photos get scenes of their own. Playful, bouncy plucks and claps, plays under it until you pick another tune under **Music**.

Wishes to put in it: [happy belated birthday GIFs and videos](https://birthday.video/happy-belated-birthday).
