Celebrating birthdays on our wedding day

JBach, on March 21, 2016 at 1:09 PM Posted in Planning 0 9

FH and I just realized last night that two members of our wedding party are having birthdays on our wedding day. One is a groomsman and FH's cousin, the other is my cousin and a Junior Bridesmaid.

I would really like to do something small to say Happy Birthday, since they are spending it with us....I just don't know what I can do without it being overkill.

    We had a few guests w/ birthdays. We sang to them when everyone was sitting down to eat cake. It was a good opportunity to grab the mic and thank everyone for being there with us before leading the "happy birthday" song.

    I went to my cousin's wedding where it was my brothers birthday, and two of their cousins' birthday and they took a moment to play happy birthday for them; I thought it was a nice touch.

    You can always bring them a giant cupcake while you're getting ready. the men can do their GM and the women can do the JRBM.

    OR I would just give them a birthday present a few days beforehand and a card. tell them "I know our wedding is also your birthday but we wanted to make sure you know how much we love you and appreciate your help. Happy Birthday!"

    My FBIL got married the weekend of his mother's birthday, they sand happy birthday and actually had a small birthday cake made for her. It was pretty cute.

    If my great uncle comes his birthday will be on our wedding date, we will do something similar for him.

    I'm tying a balloon to my FFIL's chair. But I live balloons so that's my style!

    Surprised how many people have this!

    My aunt, who was a reader in our wedding and my FIL both had birthdays within a few days of the wedding, so at the rehearsal dinner we surprised each of them with birthday cakes! They loved it

    Ask the DJ when a good time would be to incorporate their birthday song. I am sure they have this happen all the time, and can read the vibe of the crowd of when will be a good time to do it.

    I think the singing happy birthday is a good idea during the cake cutting and maybe a little announcement/ shout out
