I Want to Know the Guests' Birthdays!

The guests attending the ceremony, reception, and after-party are important people we want to stay close with in the future.＊

Doesn't it pique your interest to know each guest's birthday?♡

For example, “This person was born in spring!” or

“They were born in August, so perhaps that’s the origin of their name,” or

“I’m happy my birthday is close to this person’s!”

It’s actually quite fun to ask your close friends about their birthdays.＊

If You Know the Guests’ Birthdays...♡

Moreover, if you know the guests' birthdays, you can offer a little hospitality at the wedding for those whose birthdays are coming up!＊

For instance, you could write birthday cards and place them next to the name cards...♡

Or you could prepare birthday plates... and so on.♡

It would be wonderful to be able to say “Congratulations!” to guests with upcoming birthdays at the wedding!＊

However, asking for birthdays via LINE or email before the wedding can feel a bit unnatural.

It’s also quite a hassle to check each person's birthday registered on Facebook, and some people may not even use Facebook.

So, how can we find out the birthdays of all the guests?＊

Method 1♡ Include a Birthday Section in the Invitation

The first way to know the guests’ birthdays is to include a section in the invitation where they can write their birthdays.＊

This way, you can find out your guests' birthdays about 2-3 months before the wedding, which is a delightful point!

You can consult with your planner early on about surprises you want to include, and

You can also contact guests who will have birthdays before the wedding individually.◎

Method 2♡ Create a Birthday Sheet

The second way to keep track of guests’ birthdays is to display a birthday sheet at the reception.＊

You might be wondering, what is a birthday sheet? Simply put, it’s a yearly calendar!♩

By just having guests write their names next to their birthday dates, you can easily know all the guests’ birthdays at a glance!

This bride made a birthday sheet using Excel and plans to display it in her new home after the wedding.♡

Don’t forget to ask the reception staff to encourage everyone to write down their names!＊

Celebrate Your Important Guests’ Birthdays Every Year♡

I’ve introduced two ways to find out the birthdays of guests participating in the wedding.＊

Just knowing guests' birthdays means you can reach out to celebrate their birthdays for years to come, which is a lovely point!♡

It would be great to celebrate the birthdays of important guests every year and build a lasting good relationship!♩
