How To Remember Birthdays Like A Calender

No matter how engaged you can be on that special day of your birthday, it only gets super awesome when other people remember your birthday.

Actually, most times, we do forget our own birthday and it takes only a special friend to remind us and put those smiles on our face.

I have been in that odd situation when I skipped, forgot or just didn’t know it’s someone’s birthday.

80 percent of us might have forgotten a special friend’s birthday or even a family member. It’s a very busy world and everyone is carried away with one or two stuffs, either important, less or both.

Everyone holds their birthday with royalty and to make anyone feel like he or she is ontop of the world, be the first to remind them and wish them a happy birthday.

If you are used to keeping the date in your head or waiting for Facebook to remind you, then luck might not always be on your side.

Since all of us are glued to our smartphones, below I will show you some tips to help you remember every special person’s birthday.

Putting it straight, I am literally going to show you how to remember birthdays.

How To Remember Birthdays Like A Computer

If you had like to stop being embarrassed because you forgot someone’s birthday, then, with your mobile phone, you can never repeat such mistakes.

So let’s see how we can use our smartphones to help us to always remember that special person’s birthday.

Facebook can help you remember Birthdays

Yes, Facebook takes birthdays very seriously and they think you should too, probably with the social media.

If you and your friends, relatives and family members are on Facebook, you can always get an instant alert on everyone’s birthday.

Doesn’t that sound cool?

Although, not everyone is on Facebook, but it can still be of help for those that are already on the social media. If you can, always invite your friends to join Facebook.

If you aren’t getting alert on each of your friend’s birthday via Facebook, here’s how to get it started.

How to turn On Facebook Birthday notifications

• Open your Facebook app and login.
• Click on the options icon at the top right hand corner of your screen.
• Scroll down and select Notification settings
• Scroll down and select Birthdays
• Tick the Allow notifications on Facebook
• You can mark the Push, Email, SMS, Upcoming Birthdays and Belated Birthdays.

Now you will get an instant notification on each of your friends birthday. It’s so easy.

One of the best thing about Facebook birthday notifications is that it reminds you of a whole lot of birthdays and you don’t need to crack your brains.

Although you might miss some notifications when there’s no network connection, you are logged out or haven’t reinstalled the app.

Also, if your friend isn’t on Facebook, then, other options/alternatives would come in. We are going to cover all of it.

Use your phone’s calendar app and set events

Most times, depending on internet access as a reminder might not always work out. There are times when your internet connection could be down, off or expired.

Using your phone’s built in calendar could be your best bet for offline birthday notifications via your phone.

To do that,

• Open your phone’s calendar app and go to the month for the birthday.
• Move to the date
• Use the options and add an event to that day.
• Input Birthday as the subject and set the reminder time to be as early as possible.
• Set the repeating time to be yearly.
• Next time, whether you have an internet connection or not, your phone will remind you of that special person’s birthday, and it will also repeat it annually if set properly.
