Birthdays and weddings

Personally no.

It isn't his bday party, its your wedding day.

Our DJ gave us the option of announcing any birthdays, we just didn't happen to have any. Maybe you could mention that to your MC? That seems kind of odd, but it also sounds like this guest might be expecting it, which is also odd...

ETA: Not trying to say that you should, because I think it's detrimental to the purpose of the celebration, but if you think it would be an issue/potential drama, this could be an option. Telling him to stay home works just as well tho!

Nope, it's your wedding day. Plus, he's getting a party the week before.

If he's not family, you don't have to go out of your way to do anything special for him. My wedding happened to be on my grandma's birthday, and in my dad's welcome speech he said "thank you all for coming to my mom's birthday party" as one of his dad jokes, wished her a happy birthday, and that was it.

No.

I would just make sure to wish him a happy birthday when you speak to him that day.

Nope.

One of H's best friend's birthday was on our wedding day. Actually with all of the craziness around us, we totally forgot to wish him a happy birthday when we did our table visits.

Anyway, if he's big on celebrating his birthday, he can do it on his own time, which he already seems to be doing.

I don't think many people would enjoy having their birthday announced but the obviously depends on the person.

Personally I wouldn't do it.

My DH's 2nd cousin's birthday was our wedding day. The extended family brought cupcakes and a candle and sang during cocktail hour. This is a touchy subject for me because no one ran this past either of us.

Moral of the story is it was awkward for 75% of our guest list who didn't know this person. Don't do it.

I don't think that is necessary.

Thanks !!!

Nah, my sister's birthday was 2 days before our wedding, so at the RD we brought out cupcakes with candles and sang to her. But that was my sister, not some (somewhat) rando.

No, that is your day

I wouldn't do anything big, but you could just tell him happy birthday when you talk to him at the reception.

I would be embarrassed if a room full of strangers sang me happy birthday or clapped. So no. Don't acknowledge it

I think I would only do it for wedding party or immediate family.

My best friend from high school will be celebrating her 50th birthday on my wedding day. I plan to order her a small cake to celebrate and I hope everyone will join me in singing her happy birthday!

We have two guests with birthdays on our wedding day. One has already declined, the other hasn't RSVPed yet. I'm fine either way! (we're hoping for more declines honestly. We can afford them all and there is room for all, but we'd love less people. We'd pay for less and there'd be more space/room!)

So I've been to two weddings where this happened. The first wedding it was the brides dad's bday. They brought out a cake and sang happy bday. At the other wedding it was the brides cousins 30th bday, so they had the DJ wish her a happy bday. It's up to you what you'd like to happen.

Our wedding day is on my only niece's 12th birthday. We wanted a summer Friday the 13th wedding, so July was our only option.

She's my junior bridesmaid; we are going to surprise her with an announcement/birthday wish. It's unnecessary, but we are close, so I know she will love it. If we weren't as tight as we are I wouldn't bother, but that's my favorite girl and I think she will appreciate it.
