Illustrative example. The dates and amounts below are provided for practice.
A birthday falls on October 9, but the party moves from October 10 to October 17, 2027. Editing the birthday itself would shift future annual reminders to the party date.
Start with a Birthday record for month 10, day 9, using Every year. Create “Birthday party” separately as Family Event, October 10, 2027, One time.
Make the change in the right place
- Search for “party” and check the card's date before choosing Edit.
- Change Event Date to October 17 and select Save Changes.
- Open October 2027 in the calendar with All categories selected.
The birthday remains October 9 and the party appears October 17. The former party date should be clear.
The gap between birthday and party is now eight elapsed days. Neither calculation changes the annual birthday.
Remove obsolete arrangements
If a second party record was added by mistake, export a JSON backup, then delete the duplicate after checking its title and date. Canceling a delete confirmation keeps the record. A saved celebration plan is separate data, so update its date too if you created one. This lets the dinner, party, or venue change without rewriting the anniversary of the birth.
