When do people born on leap days celebrate their birthdays?

During non-leap years, people with February 29th birthdays typically celebrate on February 28th or March 1st. Their actual birthdate might not exist in the current calendar year, but that doesn’t mean they miss out on an epic event. Some countries legally designate leap day birthdays on March 1st, but you’re welcome to celebrate on whichever day you prefer. Or better yet, why not both days?

Once you’ve landed on the date, send your leap year party invitations via email, text, or shareable link. Upgrade to Paperless Post Plus to create a custom invitation URL or add a password to keep details confidential. If you’ve got a helpful friend or family member, add them as a co-host so they can see the guest list.
