How to Find Birthdays on Facebook (before the day-of!)

​September is just around the corner, and it is time to check your birthday calendar for birthdays and prepare your cards. I've found that filling out all my cards for the month has been so helpful in actually sending cards out for birthdays.

So, maybe you don't have a ton of birthdays in your calendar, but they show up in Facebook the morning of the person's birthday and you have no time to send a card! Ugh, don't you hate that? I know I do! 

Well, today you are in luck! I'm going to show you how to find the full list of your friend's birthdays so that you can add them to your birthday wall calendar, that way, month after month, year after year, you will know in advance when it's someone's birthday!

​So here we go! Five simple steps to finding all your Facebook friend's birthdays in the Facebook App! 

1. From your account, click the icon with the three lines in the bottom right hand corner of your screen.

2. Touch the arrow next to "Events."

3. Here all your upcoming events will be displayed.

4. Scroll all the way to the bottom to find upcoming birthdays. Touch the arrow to go to the next screen.

5. You've made it! A complete list of all your Facebook friend's birthdays!

Now that you have all your birthdays at your fingertips, you can add them to your perpetual birthday and anniversary calendar. I display mine on the wall behind my desk with readily available cards and stamps to give me a higher probability of sending out a card! Lately I've been writing cards at the beginning of the month, which has also been really helpful! See the post I wrote about Setting Yourself Up for Card Sending Success here.

Now, on to the next order of September business, a new calendar filled with all the fun holidays I'll be featuring this month! I hope you'll join me on social media to get updates and reminders of each of these fun days.
