How To Remember Birthdays

Birthday is one of the most special occasions in the life of a person. It is the day on which he/she came into this world and brightened the life of his/her parents and other family members. No wonder, it is celebrated with great happiness and gaiety. At the same time, the birthday boy/girl expects that all his/her loved ones will wish him/her on the special day. Are you one of those who always forget to do so? Do you end up remembering a birthday at least a week later? If yes, then this article will surely prove useful to you. Go through the following lines and get tips on how to remember birthdays.

 

 

One of the best ways to remember the birthdays of all the special people in your life would be to take the calendar at the beginning of the year and mark all the birthdays in it. This way, you will get reminded of the birthdays the moment you look at the calendar. In case you feel that marking the birthdays every year is cumbersome, keep the old calendar (with the birthdays marked) at a convenient place, where you can check it often.

 

There are many online sites that offer the service of sending you a reminder a day before the birthdays of a person as well as on the day itself. All you have to do is sign up for membership and enter all those birthdays. Majority of such sites are free. Just browse through the net and take your pick. Some of the email providers, like yahoo and gmail, also offer this facility. You just need to feed the birthday in your e-mail ID and set the reminder.

 

Yet another way of remembering birthdays is to get hold of a birthday card organizer. The best bet would be a 12-month organizer, with pockets for birthday cards. Keep it on your desk and be one of those people who never ever forget to wish anyone. You will easily get such an organizer in the market as well as on the internet. In case you do not want to spend money, make your own organizer with a file organizer from an office supply store.

 

There are many social networking sites that help you keep updated about the upcoming birthdays. For instance, orkut displays the names and birthday dates of the people who are in your friends' list and have their birthday in the upcoming week. All you have to do is check you account at the beginning of each week. However, this option will work only in case of people who are a part of your circle, on the site, and have mentioned their birthday in their profile.

 

If you are ready to spend some money, in order to remember the birthdays of all your near and dear ones, then installing a 'Reminder Software' in your PC or laptop will be a good option. After installing the software, all you have to do is key-in the birthday details of all the loved ones. The computer will do the work of reminding you about the same, as and when the date comes. However, this is only for people who use their PC/laptop on an everyday basis.
