Golden Birthday FAQ
What if my golden birthday has already passed?
If your golden birthday has already passed, you can still acknowledge and celebrate it retroactively. Some people also celebrate a "double golden birthday" when they turn twice the day they were born.
Why is it called a "golden" birthday?
It's called a golden birthday because it's considered a rare and precious occasion, much like gold itself. The term likely originated because gold is often associated with special achievements and milestones.
What if I was born on the 1st of the month?
If you were born on the 1st of any month, your golden birthday would have been when you turned 1 year old. Since this likely passed before you were aware of the concept, you might consider celebrating a "double golden birthday" when you turn 2.
