Birthday CARD

Click on the image and print an August birthday card. (It is a quarter-fold card, so it will print on one sheet of paper.) Type the name of your "special person" on the front (will type upside-down) and add a personal message inside. Print as many cards as you need. Fold the cards and deliver them to those people celebrating birthdays this month - including residents, staff, and volunteers.

Blank Birthday Card

Some of our foreign language members have requested a BLANK card so that they can type in their own message.

Birthday FLYER

Go to the Monthly Gazette page where you will find a FLYER that you can personalize. If you want, replace "Your Special Month" with the person's name (i.e. "Mary's Special Month"). You can also replace the introductory paragraph with something more personal ("This month is extra special because you were born on ____.") When you are finished, print a copy and send it out in place of a birthday card.

Birthday DOOR SIGN

Click on the image to print a special August birthday sign (8 1/2" x 11"). Type the person's name and a special message on the front of the sign. Then, hang the sign on the person's door. What a nice surprise for your birthday folks.

Birthday DOORKNOB HANGER

Click on the image and type the person's name and a personal message on the front. If you want, also add a personal message on the back. (Or, delete our text and handwrite.) Print on card stock or regular paper. (Regular paper works pretty well since it is folded for double thickness.) Cut out along the outside lines. Fold along the center line. (If you're using card stock, trace down the center line with a dull knife to make a crisp fold.) Cut on the angled line in the upper corner and continue to cut around the circle. (Both holes will be cut at once, which will make them line up perfectly.) Glue the two sides together using a glue stick. Hang it on a doorknob on someone's birthday.

Birthday CALENDAR

Go to our Creating Calendars page and make a special August birthday calendar. Simply type in the birthdays of your residents, staff, volunteers, etc. Post the calendar on your bulletin board this month. Alternatively, place it in a nice frame and stand it on a table in your lobby area.

40" Birthday BANNER

Print an August birthday banner. (Tip: You don't need special banner paper. The banner will print on four 8 1/2" x 11" sheets of regular computer paper. Simply glue or tape the sheets together.) For a more personal sign, write the names of your August birthday folks randomly on the sign.

Party INVITATION

Click on the image and print an August birthday party invitation. (It is a quarter-fold card, so it will print on one sheet of regular paper.) Type the date, time, and location on the inside. Print copies, fold, and pass them out to all of your invited guests. Use the matching ENVELOPE if you want.

Party PLACE CARDS

Click on the image for a sheet of 6 place cards. Before printing, type 6 guests' names on the fronts. You can also type names or special messages on the backs of the cards (will type upside-down). If you prefer, delete our text, print, and handwrite your place cards. Print as many sheets as you need. Print on heavy card stock paper. Cut out along the outside border, fold along the center, and your place cards are ready for a party.

Birthday SONG & LYRICS

Click on the "note" and download the music to this month's special birthday song. (For instructions on how to download music, see our Music Matters page.) You will recognize it as “Row, Row, Row Your Boat.” Below are the new lyrics. Ask associates to sing the song during your birthday celebration this month.
