Important Dates

I just sent an email to my family asking for accurate birthdays. I have not been the best at remembering birthdays and wishing happy birthday to my family. Now that I have a kid and two nieces, I think it is important to get organized in this area or I will be in deep trouble. Important dates that I think I will be glad to be reminded of:

• Our Anniversary


• Wife's Birthday


• Kids's Birthday(s)


• Parent's Birthdays


• Sibling's Birthdays


• Sibling Spouse's Birthdays


• Niece and Nephew Birthdays


• Boss's Birthday ($$)


• Some holidays (like Mother's Day, Father's Day) but those are not always on a specific date

That is all I can think of now. With Google calendar I can create custom events of these dates (which continue to repeat annually). These events can have attached reminders so I chose to create an email reminder for a day or two before it. Since I check email frequently, I think this will work well for me and SMS text messages are expensive for my cell phone plan with AT&T.
