And especially if they dont celebrate it; i realized I typically know the ones of who hold parties or post about it but never the ones who are more reserved. Thought about asking but I dont think I’d send them gifts but wish them well; is that odd?

You set a notification on your phone and set the reminder for a day or week before.
google calendar dedicated to birthdays
Personally, I don’t. Unding care much for birthdays. We get together when we have an opportunity and when we want to, not when the calendar says so.
Calendar notifications, and I text or call them. People love a birthday phone call.
You have a calendar in your pocket that’s in front of your face for hours a day, use it
Put it in my calendar when I find out. Then text or call on the day depending on what phase of the friendship we’re in.
I used to let facebook remind me lol. Recently I’ve been sending them texts or phone calls. If I send a happy birthday text it pops up as an option to add to my calendar (iOS) which has been helpful since a lot of my friends have been taking extended breaks from FB or getting off completely
I don’t.
Add it to their contact i my phone
Try to remember it and that’s it
It feels disingenuous to use something like Facebook that reminds you “Hey, let so-&-so know that you remembered their birthday!”.
I used to have dozens of Facebook “friends” (acquaintances really) that I hadn’t talked to for years reach out to wish me a Happy Birthday as if they remembered. When I hid my birthday on Facebook I suddenly had no one reaching out to wish me a Happy Birthday anymore. Shocker.
I can still recall, from memory, many people’s birthdays and I still send them a Happy Birthday text and ask them how their day went, even if we barely talk anymore. Unfortunately, those same people (at least outside of my family members) have never wished me a Happy Birthday or even bothered to ask when it is 🙁
Sigh. Getting old sucks.
Simple i forget that i have friends much less that they have birthdays.
Lucky for me they know i severe memory issues
I’ve been friends with my main group of buddies for close to 30 years so have most of their birthdays memorized by now but a little backup never hurts so I use the Birthdays app.
Also works particularly well for nieces/nephews birthdays and my friends’ kids, too.
I have friends and families birthdays set up on my phone. Friends I’ll send a message on their birthday, family I’ll send a card, stepdaughter I’ll send presents and usually go for a meal, Mrs Bear, card, presents, meal, holiday
I don’t/nothing
I use Google calendar for everything and I just add their birthdays on there so every year it shows it.
I don’t.
None of my friends celebrate birthdays. The ones who have shared their birthdays have it listed with their contact info in my phone. But my best friend of ten years… i couldn’t tell you his birthday. Once you hit a certain age (different for everyone) you just stop caring about your birthday.
I don’t, and, nothing. We don’t do that.
