Birthdays and anniversaries
See upcoming birthdays and anniversaries, and send birthday wishes automatically.
Birthdays shows who is celebrating today (marked Today!) and who's coming up. Birthdays come from members' date of birth. Anniversaries are wedding anniversaries: add the wedding date on a member's profile under Family and marriage, or ask for it with the Wedding anniversary question on your join form. Both partners get the anniversary wish, if you switch Anniversary on under Reminders.
