Birthday Reminder Emails With the Message Ready

Greetigo emails you the day before each birthday you save (or up to 2 weeks early), with the message already written. It also emails you before holidays like Diwali, Mother's Day and Thanksgiving, with a message ready. Review it, then send it or copy it. It's a website, so there is nothing to install on your phone, and there are apps for iPhone (US only) and Mac if you want them. Free for up to 10 saved dates, no credit card needed.

What the email looks like

  • What arrives: an email to you, with the person's name and the date in the subject, and a message already written: the AI-written draft you saved for that date (Plus and Premium), otherwise a free template with their name. The reminder email itself never writes a new draft.
  • When: in the morning in your time zone, the day before by default. For each date you can choose on the day, or 1, 3, 7 or 14 days before, in any combination.
  • What's free: up to 10 saved dates, each with its reminder emails and a free message template, and 2 messages a month sent from Greetigo (copying is unlimited). Plus (US$4.99 a month or US$49.90 a year) and Premium (US$9.99 a month or US$99.90 a year) add AI-written drafts and remove the 10-date limit.
  • What you do: click Review and send to see it and email it to them (when you have saved their email), or copy it into a text or your own email. Nothing is sent without your click.
  • Who gets it: only you. The person you're remembering hears nothing from Greetigo unless you click Send.

ExampleExample of a Greetigo reminder email. Headline: Mom's birthday is tomorrow, Saturday, March 6, 2027. Your message to Mom is ready: Happy birthday, Mom! I'm so grateful for you. I hope your day is full of the people and things that make you happy. Lots of love. A black Review and send button, then: Rather text or call? Copy the message and paste it into a text, or give Mom a call.
Example. The real reminder email, shown with a sample name. Yours has your own people and dates, and it goes only to you.

A reminder for you, not an email to your customers

Greetigo reminds you before the birthday of someone you know, with the message ready for you to send yourself. It is not a marketing tool: it does not send automatic birthday emails to a list of customers or subscribers, and nothing goes to anyone until you click Send.

A reminder email or a calendar alert?

Both work. Here is the honest difference, so you can pick what suits you.

Doing it yourself in a calendar

  • Free, and already on your phone.
  • Your phone's calendar can show the birthdays saved in your contacts, and you can add others as yearly events. In Google Calendar, birthdays you add in its app get a reminder a week before and on the day.
  • Alerts come as notifications on your phone or in the browser (or by email, if you set that up), which are easy to miss on a busy day.
  • It tells you the date; its help pages don't mention help with the words.

A good fit if you have a few dates and act on alerts right away.

An email from Greetigo

  • Free for up to 10 saved dates; Plus or Premium for more.
  • Arrives in your inbox in the morning and stays there until you deal with it.
  • Comes with a message already written, ready to send or copy.
  • One list of people and dates. Start by importing a contacts file, a calendar file or a CSV, or by pasting a list.
  • Email, plus notifications in the iPhone and Mac apps: no SMS and no Android app.

A good fit if you want the words ready and a reminder that waits for you.

Birthday reminder FAQ

What does the birthday reminder email say?
The subject says whose birthday it is and when, like "Maya's birthday is tomorrow". Inside is the date and a message already written: the AI-written draft you saved for that date (Plus and Premium), otherwise a free template with their name. Below it is one button, Review and send (Copy the message when you have not saved her email), and a link to copy it into a text instead.
Is there a birthday reminder email template I can copy?
Yes, Greetigo's own reminder works as one. Put the name and when in the subject ("Maya's birthday is tomorrow"), then the date, then the message you plan to send. To remind your team about a coworker's birthday, keep the same shape: a subject like "Maya's birthday is on Friday", one line with the date and what people can do (sign the card, add a note), and who to ask. If you would rather have the reminder come to you, save the date in Greetigo and it emails you the day before.
When does the reminder email arrive?
In the morning in your time zone. By default it comes the day before the birthday; for each date you can choose on the day, or 1, 3, 7 or 14 days before, in any combination. Only you get the reminder: it goes to your account email.
Is there a birthday reminder website I can use on my phone?
Yes. Greetigo is a website, so it works in Safari, Chrome or any other browser on your phone or computer, with nothing to install, and the reminder comes by email. There is also a free Greetigo app for iPhone and iPad on the App Store in the US, and an app for Mac. There is no Android app; on Android, use the website.
Is Greetigo really free?
Yes. Free covers up to 10 saved dates, with reminder emails, free message templates, manual entry and calendar or contacts file import. Plus and Premium add AI-written drafts and remove the 10-date limit. SMS reminders are not offered.
Are there other birthday reminder email services?

Yes. Birthdays Reminder (birthdays.email), Simply Remind Me, Birthday-Reminders.com, KisReminder, Punchbowl Reminders and Postable all send birthday reminder emails. The main difference is what the email holds: most remind you of the date, some suggest or mail a card, and Greetigo's has your message already written. Greetigo is free for up to 10 saved dates.

How is this different from a calendar reminder?
Google Calendar shows birthdays from your Google Contacts, and for birthdays you add in its app it reminds you on your phone a week before and on the day. Greetigo emails you on the days you choose (the day before by default), keeps your people and dates in one list, and has free message templates. Plus and Premium add AI-written drafts.
Can I import birthdays from my phone contacts?
Yes. On the website, from a file: save your contacts as a vCard (.vcf) file (iPhone, Mac, iCloud.com, Google Contacts and Android can all save one) and import it on the Dates page. In the free Greetigo app for iPhone and iPad (US only), you can pick them from your Contacts directly, and only the people you pick are saved. Either way it is a one-time copy, not an ongoing sync, and Greetigo doesn't connect to your Google account. You can also import a CSV or calendar (.ics) file, paste a list, or add dates by hand.
Does Greetigo send birthday messages for me?
Only when you click Send. The reminder email has a message ready; click Review and send to see exactly what will go out, then Send to email it to them from Greetigo, or copy it into a text or your own email. Nothing goes to anyone on its own.
What makes the AI-written drafts useful?
On Plus and Premium, Greetigo writes a draft from the person's name, the occasion, the style you pick and any notes you add (for example, how you know them). You can write a new one, edit it, and choose the wording that feels right before you send or share it.
Can I get a birthday reminder by text message?
No. Greetigo reminds you by email, and with notifications in the iPhone and Mac apps. It does not send text messages (SMS). Each reminder email has the message ready to copy, so you can paste it into a text to them.
Is my data private and secure?
Your data is stored on Google Cloud (Firebase), encrypted at rest and in transit. We don't sell your personal information and we don't show ads. See our Privacy Policy for details.
