Birthdays are special moments to let your loved ones know that you are thinking of them. With these 10 practical tips it will be a lot easier to remember all the important dates:
Birthday calendar: hang a calendar in a visible place, like in the kitchen or in the toilet. You will see the dates every day, which will automatically remind you…
Record birth years: write the birth year for each birthday. Handy for those special ages like 30, 40, or 50.
Smartphone alerts: put birthdays in your digital calendar with reminders. Set multiple notifications, for example a week in advance and on the day itself.
Social media notifications: use the birthday feature of platforms like Facebook. Don't forget to add your own birthday!
Monthly planning ahead: Take some time at the beginning of each month to check upcoming birthdays and plan actions.
Card Stock: Keep a stock of birthday cards at home. This way you can take action as soon as you remember a birthday, reducing the chance that you will forget or be late with congratulations.
Up-to-date address list: keep your contact details up to date. Add new addresses directly and update when moving. No stamp at home? No problem: use a stamp code that you can buy online at PostNL.
If you think, 'This is going to be difficult!', ask family or friends to remind you of important birthdays in your collective circle.
And if you still forget: send that nice 'Too late' card from dachshund Frits!
With these tips in your repertoire, remembering and celebrating birthdays will be a lot easier. A little organization will make it a natural habit!
