Is It Safe To Skip Birth Control Pills For A Week?

I am using birth control and wanted to delay my period by a few days. Is it safe to skip the gap week, start a second pack and then start my gap week after a few days? Or do I need to wait until I have finished the second pack to start gap week to be safe?
