Felicidades vs Enhorabuena
Hi! Could anyone please answer me the differences between "Felicidades" and "Enhorabuena"? In what context do people normally use "Felicidades" and in what context do they use "Enhorabuena"? Thanks in advance!
I'd say the main difference would be that;
"Felicidades" is used to congratulate someone for a particular occasion (birthday, wedding, etc).
"Enhorabuena" is used to congratulate someone for an accomplishment (promotion, award, etc)

Felicidades is used mainly to wish a happy birthday and similar. Enhorabuena is as if you say "about time..." with a positive connotation - you can even include "felicidades" For example, Jessica got promoted after 4 years in her position, I'd say to her "enhorabuena, te lo mereces mucho. Felicidades!"
