Birthday Reminders

Get notified before family birthdays with a preview of your shared memories.

Memory Murals automatically reminds you when a family member's birthday is approaching — so you never miss a chance to celebrate or share a memory.

How It Works

When you add a birthday to a family member's profile, Memory Murals sends you an email:

  • 7 days before their birthday — a heads-up with time to prepare
  • 1 day before — a last-chance reminder

Each email includes:

  • The family member's name and relationship
  • How many memories you share together
  • A preview of up to 3 of those memories (with photos)
  • A link to share a memory or create a new one

Setting Up Birthdays

  1. Go to the Family tab in the app
  2. Tap a family member to edit their profile
  3. Add their birthday in the date field
  4. That's it — reminders are automatic

Memorialized Members

Birthday reminders are automatically disabled for family members marked as memorialized. This prevents unwanted reminders for loved ones who have passed.

What the Email Looks Like

The birthday reminder email is warm and branded:

  • A cake emoji header with their name
  • "Hannah's birthday is in 7 days!" or "Hannah's birthday is tomorrow!"
  • A count of your shared memories
  • Preview cards with photos from your favorite memories together
  • A button to open Memory Murals and share or create a birthday memory

Tips

  • Add birthdays for everyone in your family roster — even if you don't have many memories with them yet. The reminder will still let you know the date is coming.
  • Create a birthday memory when you get the reminder — record a voice message, upload a photo, or write a note about what that person means to you.
  • Share a memory with the birthday person via a shareable link — it's a thoughtful digital birthday card.
