I Forgot His Birthday. I Was SO Embarrassed.

Isn’t it just one of the worst feelings. You forgot his birthday. His birthday was yesterday and you remembered it – today.

Or even worse, he had to give you a gentle reminder at dinner that TODAY was his birthday. And of course it’s way too late to get him a great birthday present, in fact it’s way too late to do anything. You can’t even make him a birthday cake, the opportunity is gone, he knows you forgot, and you’re just so embarrassed.

And you’d planned such a great birthday for him. You knew it was coming up, you had birthday plans all worked out, and you just can’t work out how you forgot. You were going to buy such a great birthday present and you had a birthday card all picked out. You’d spent hours looking for mens birthday gifts on the net, and you blew it.

It’s got to be the worst day of your life, and you just can’t work out how it happened.

Has this ever happened to you? Maybe it has and maybe it hasn’t, but it certainly can. We’re all human, we can forget even the most important things. If it hasn’t happened to you it doesn’t mean it can’t.

Of course we can all use a diary, but who remembers to look in their diary every day. Sometimes we just forget. And that can be the one day that the reminder about his birthday was there. And all of us have the occasional brain fade, I know I do. There are calendars. I’ve even been known to write a reminder on a piece of paper and stick it to my computer.

So how do you make sure this never happens to you?

Use a birthday reminder service. Well it’s a service to remind you of any occasion coming up, but it’s certainly useful to use to remind you of his birthday coming.

How does it work? You join a [tag-tec]birthday reminder service[/tag-tec] and then you get to enter all your important dates, including his birthday. Enter any dates that are important to you. Holidays, anniversaries, birthdays, appointments and anything else. Not just his birthday, but the birthdays of everyone who is important to you.

And once you’ve entered your important dates you get a reminder for each one automatically sent to you by email, and if you wish to your cell phone. It’s pretty easy to use, and it may well save you an extremely embarrassing day.

There are free birthday reminder services, and there are paid ones, like everything the paid ones are a little better than the free ones, but the paid ones aren’t expensive. I prefer Big Dates, it’s free for the first 3 months, then $5.95 a year. Pretty cheap insurance against the most embarrassing day of your life.

And for $15 you get the ability to send 5 prepaid greeting cards. That’s real PAPER greeting cards, at $3 each it’s cheaper than doing it yourself.

And you can even get them to make some gift suggestions for his birthday too.

So if you’re worried about the most embarrassing day of your life, or even if you can just see some value in being able to get reminders sent to you for ANY important dates, then you ought to consider a birthday reminder service like Big Dates.

Thanks to The Greeting Card Guide for the suggestion.
