Birthday Reminder service for a group?

Question

Is there a group birthday service reminder service that can send an email reminder to all people in a group EXCEPT the birthday person?

Answer 1

birthday reminders are set up in the calendar- but reminders post to the archives and of course depending on each members mail settings, they will get it-

these reminders do not allow you to edit certain members out- sorry

Answer 2

No.  On your Yahoo group's Calendar feature, you can send send birthday reminders to members but you cannot exclude the birthday person.  If you want to set it up anyway, ask your members to send you their real name or screen name and month/day of their birthday. See below on how to enter their birthday info.

Here is an example of how to put "Janie's" October 30 birthday on your group calendar.

Click Calendar on left side of group page.

Click Events List.

On the small monthly calendar page on upper right which right now shows October 2007, click on the "30".

This will pull up a daily schedule page for October 30.

Underneath the large letters Tuesday October 30, 2007, click on "Add Event".

On the "Title:" line, write something like "Today is Janie's Birthday".

For Event Type, use the down arrow and select "Birthday".

On the Date line, use the down arrows to select the month/day/current year.

On the Time line, select "This is an all day event" and under that, select "Starts at" (the time defaults to 12 am which is just fine)

For Location: Do not put anything on this line.

For Notes: Type in your announcement of the member's birthday.

For Repeating: Select Repeat and use the down arrows to select Every and Year. For the "End Date", select No End Date.

For Optional Information: Do not put anything there.

On bottom line, Click Save. Or if you have more than one, Click Save and Add Another.

Now take a look at your calendar for October 30 and you will see the 30 is highlighted. You can click on the 30 to show it's contents.

Also, click on the Events List tab and you will see Janie's birthday you just got through entering.
