Facebook Comment or a Text, How Well Do You Know Them?

Its March which is like birthday mania for me and my family. 

A brief overview of my family to explain.

My Mom and Dad got married and had 11 children. 

Child number 1 got married and has 6 children

Child number 3 got married and has 3 children

Child number 5 got married. 

Child number 6 got married.

Child number nine is dating.

That makes 27 birthdays a year just for close family. 

That is A LOT!

But March is the worst with 6 birthdays. 

Anyway March 3rd (Today) is child number 9's Girlfriend's birthday.

Previously a good friend of mine, (don't get me started)

So the question came to me, 

Do I post on FB or do I text?

Do I know them well enough for a text?

I mean she is at every birthday party and 
practically every family event. 

In this case I said Happy Birthday with a cute picture via text.

But then I thought about who you should text and 
who you should post on social media 
 to wish a happy birthday. 

So I decided to make a list.

Family members, doesn't matter if you are close -Call them 

Friends you see or talk to at least once a day - Call them 

(Cards are great too, also in the mail is fun)

Friends you see once a week - text is okay but a call is better!

Cousins you only see on FB and are pretty sure you don't even know their number - Post

The random person from High School you used to hang out with- Post 

The person you could potentially date - text or a card in person.

Boss, this one is tough, if you see them the day of - tell them in person but if you interact on facebook and you don't see them than a post in okay. 
Also cards are good if you see them the week of. 

Your friends parents - in person if you see them. 
Unless you are unusually close like you could be their child don't text or call them.

If you know someone in your class is having a birthday 

it can really make their day if you show up with a card and balloon. And because of all the dollar stores and Dollar Generals popping up you most likely pass one at least once a day. You could get both for less than $5.

Also bonus points if you get other people to sign it.
