Below are some rules governing a birthday.
1. If your birthday falls on a weekend, that weekend is yours to celebrate.
2. If your birthday falls on a Monday or Tuesday, celebrate the preceding
weekend and/or on your actual birthday. If your birthday falls on a Thursday
or Friday, celebrate that weekend and/or on your actual birthday. Got a
Wednesday birthday? You get to choose which weekend is yours.
3. A birthday can be celebrated within the week before the actual date and
within the week after. That’s a two-week window to fit in parties and
dinners. (Exceptions are summer birthdays. See rule #5.)
4. Your birthday falls during Christmas/Hanukkah/Valentine’s Day/some other
gift-giving holiday. Don’t gripe that people only get you one present for
both your birthday and the holiday. Just get over it. The best you can do is
hope that people give a bigger present because of the double celebration, but
don’t get too down if they don’t. It’s just a gift.
5. Summer birthdays are tricky because it’s possible that there aren’t a
lot of people around to celebrate. It’s vacation season, so your friends and
family may be out of town. Either wait until August or September when everyone
returns from vacation, or wait until the closest possible time after your
birthday when the appropriate people are in town. If everyone you want is in
town during your summer birthday, rule #3 applies.
6. After your birthday, you log onto Facebook to see the many happy birthday
comments from Facebook friends. Don’t write a blanket status thanking
everyone at once for their wishes. Not everyone will see that status, and
it’s lazy. Comment back each person, even if you only say, ‘Thanks.’
It’s proper Facebook etiquette.
7. Don’t post a status saying, ‘It’s my birthday today!’ It sounds
needy. Birthday-related photos ‘ cakes, parties, etc. ‘ are more than
allowed.
8. Although the birthday is only one day, the birthday celebrations can go
much longer, as technically there is no statute of limitations for how long
you can celebrate it.
Happy Birthday Rules!
