How to automatically add birthdays to Google Calendar and never forget a big day again

The only thing worse than forgetting someone's birthday is wishing them a happy birthday when it's not their birthday. 

If you're looking for a way to keep track of when to send your friends and family celebratory wishes and a party popper emoji, Google Calendar makes it easy. 

When you add a birthday to Google Contacts, the date is automatically synced to your Google Calendar. To make the birthday appear, all you need to do is enable the "Birthdays" calendar in Google Calendar.

Here's how to add birthdays to Google Calendar from your desktop browser.
