  3. Turn your birthday reminder emails on in your Account Settings.

Voila! You’ve got yourself *free* birthday reminder emails in minutes.

Importing your contacts’ birthdays.

If you have your contacts’ information (including, of course their birthdays) ready to rumble then all you need to do is upload the information to your free Postable account. 

*When you’re in your Postable address book, just navigate to the ‘Import’ section.*

And yes, your Postable address book as well as your birthday reminder emails are both FREE.
