Calling preferred texting permitted: Friends you’ve made in the past five years.You’re not as busy as you think-try them again. Don’t leave messages (ever, really, but especially not on someone’s special day). It should go without saying-but it doesn’t-that you call your mother, your aunt and anyone you are related to on their birthday. You wish them well, you remind them of how awesome they are, and you make plans (which you then keep!) to celebrate their birthday in the near future. If you’ve known someone since you were children or teenagers and you stayed in touch in the days before social media and cell phones, you call on their birthday, even if you think a Facebook wall post would suffice. By telephone: Old friends with whom you are still close and any member of your family should get a phone call.You get bonus points if you get your greeting in before their spouse does.
Text if you must, but then follow up with a call the next day. You have the same eyes, you put up with your crazy parents together, you know things about each other that can’t be put into words. Midnight, via call or text: If you’re close with your siblings, you call at midnight.Don’t tell me you don’t stay up until midnight-you’re not 100, and if you are, it’s all the more reason to greet 101 as soon as it arrives. Watch the clock, and then give your special someone a big kiss. Midnight, in person: A requirement for your spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend.But those people have dark, black souls and should be shunned.įor everyone else, here are the general guidelines for modern-day happy-birthday wishing: Sure, there are some who shrug off the whole thing as a celebration for children. Birthday wishes are received, cake is eaten, perhaps gifts are given. To many, the day of one’s birth remains something to celebrate.
