What do you do if you forget your friends' birthdays?

Remembering my friends birthdays is my weakness and I feel guilty! I don't know but I am not very good in memorizing others' birthdays and I feel embarrass when a friend would "blame" me of forgetting to greet him/her on his/her birthday. Are you like me? Or does this thing happens to you too? How would you deal with this situation?

better late than never, you can still greet your friend. atleast you can still express that you really didnt forget your friends bday. if it happens to me and my friend forgotten my bday but greeted me even if its late. i will still be happy cause my friend still remember me.

My friends knows me enough with regards to this manner... i can never remember any of their birthday... and someone would always have to remind me a few days before... so i can give my greeting on time... or get him/her a birthday present... they don't mind anymore because they are quite use to it... and i don't also expect them to remember my birthday...

Trying to keep track of entirely too many things means I forget a few here and there. That includes birthdays. I made a list for each month, and when the month changes, I flip to the next page of the list. That's a reminder, and I get another reminder every time I go to the computer, because it's in my face, since I hung it right over the monitor. If I still forget, I try to find a really great belated birthday card and apologize like crazy!

It's hard to deal with friends who do not think special times in your life are important. Birthdays, weddings, showers, anniversarys. Friends are important and they deserve to be remembered. A true friend doesn't forget or make excuses. It's really that simple.

No one is perfect dont feel guilty. People get busy sometimes and just forget. A good friend would not get mad at you if you forget and apologize. If I forget I do a belated birthday call or say something. But I don't pretend that I didn't know.
It's good to keep a calender of events or even with your telephone numbers put down birthdays and events so you can be reminded.
