Or do you have a rule, like only for very close friends or if you actually know their children…?

    I don’t actually know when my friend’s kid’s birthday is. But if they mention it’s coming up, I’ll engage them about their plans and if they’ve asked for anything in particular for a birthday present.

    I’ll bet that protocol is going to vary a lot depending on the age of the children and how close you are with their parents. If you’re related to them, however distantly, it’s probably more acceptable to wish them a happy birthday directly.
