It's just too bad no one gave the appropriate reply. Would have helped me too.

I don't get it. Two choices were given: 'advance' or 'advanced'.

You get a reply: Happy Birthday in advance. Where did this come from? Is this the correct answer? Or the safe one? Are you saying neither is correct?

AnonymousIt's just too bad no one gave the appropriate reply.

If someone proposes two (or more) alternatives and then three people all provide the same alternative, which is neither of the original two, you can safely assume that neither of the original two is correct (or, at least, that it is not natural), and you should use the version provided by the three native speakers.

If you don't consider a rephrasing in natural languge an appropriate reply, I don't know what you think is appropriate.

I am confused too...

Just to go around it...I write "Happy birthday xxx, in advance."

I believe, any way we write it, our friend will appreciate the thought...

I hope this helps...

It's not that hard of a question people; She was asking if it's either Advance without the "D" in the end -OR- Advanced with the "D" in the end.

You have probably figured it out by now, however, I'm just re-stating your question due to a misunderstanding.
