We had everyone sing Happy Birthday to my brother last night. The band made him stand and got everyone to sing. He was embarrassed but LOVES it.

Could just have the dj announce it and pick a song you know he likes?? I'd ask your friend about it first to be sure he's okay with that spotlight since you (and maybe some of your guests) don't know him that well .

Hello! My best friend's wedding fell on my birthday (I was also a BM for her). She wanted to acknowledge it, and I flat out refused. Maybe an UPO but I would have been so embarrassed! I begged her not to as not only is it her wedding day, but I don't know any of her family except for the parents, and I never met any of his family. So having some random friend's birthday mentioned at the bride's & groom's wedding would feel awkward in a room full of strangers (IMO). Idk, if you really want to do this, please ask first. Some people don't like having attention being drawn to them. Best of luck!

No, I wouldn't acknowledge it. It's your wedding day. Period.

I wouldn't do anything other than wishing him a happy birthday when you see him at the wedding.

He's an adult, he doesn't need anyone to make a huge deal about his birthday and you're not even close. He can celebrate the day before or after or anytime on his own.

When FH and I were picking a date we asked both our families if there were any dates we should exclude and FH's cousin said her birthday as it falls on a Saturday in Fall which was what we were looking at. I told her if the venue only had her birthday available we would be going with it because she's an adult and she can deal. We ended up not using her birthday but we did end up picking the same day as our friends' anniversary and we won't be doing anything to celebrate their anniversary other than wishing them a happy anniversary.
