We’ll also explain how to celebrate villagers’ birthdays, how to celebrate your own birthday, and how to find out villagers’ birthdays in-game—with insights from an online gaming expert and streamer. Let’s go!

Celebrating Birthdays in ACNH

Online gaming expert and streamer MopGarden says you can find a villager’s birthday by checking the bulletin board for updates or reading the morning announcements around their birthday. On their actual birthday, choose and wrap a gift for them, then go to their house for the party. You’ll get Nook Miles for attending.

How to Celebrate Villagers’ Birthdays in Animal Crossing

PDF download Download Article
  1. You don’t want to show up to a birthday party empty-handed! Each villager has a different style and taste, so take some time to find the perfect gift for them. Once you find out what they like, you can wrap it up, adds MopGarden.[2]
    • Tip: While you don’t technically have to wrap the villager’s present, doing so will get you some bonus friendship points.
    • Villagers will be excited about any gift, so don’t stress too much about finding the perfect item.
  2. Every Animal Crossing villager hosts a birthday party on their birthday. To attend, simply visit their home, notes MopGarden.[3] You’ll find them and some other party guests inside. Remember to bring them a gift! You’ll get Nook Miles for attending the party, and the villager will send you a thank-you gift in the mail the next day.[4]
    • Note: If two characters share a birthday, they’ll have a joint party at one house. If one character’s house is empty, check the other one.

  1. You can also celebrate your own birthday in Animal Crossing! On the day of your birthday, you’ll be greeted by the villager with whom you have the highest friendship level, who will then take you to their house for a surprise party.[5]
    • While at the party, you have the opportunity to play a piñata game, which contains birthday cupcakes that your character can eat.
    • When you leave the party, you’ll also receive a letter with a homemade cake from Mom, and you’ll unlock the “Happy Birthday” Nook Miles stamp.
    • K. K. Slider will also perform a birthday song outside Resident Services, and Brewster will wish you a happy birthday if you drink coffee at The Roost.
    • Tip: Give villagers the birthday cupcakes you got from the party to receive even more birthday-themed items.

How to Find an Animal Crossing Villager’s Birthday

PDF download Download Article
  1. 1
    Check the bulletin board in the plaza. In the game, go to the bulletin board and look for birds, which signal a new announcement, explains MopGarden. If a villager has a birthday coming up, a notice will be posted on the bulletin board to give you a heads-up, she continues.[6] It’s usually posted a few days in advance.[7]
  2. 2
    Talk to other villagers. Sometimes, other villagers will drop hints that a resident’s birthday is coming up, especially if it’s near their birthday, says MopGarden.[8] These hints will just be part of their daily dialogue, so be sure to talk to everyone. This usually happens throughout the week leading up to the villager’s birthday.[9]
  3. 3
    Pay attention to the morning announcement. When you first log into Animal Crossing each day, Isabelle will make a public announcement about any events going on that day. This includes villagers’ birthdays, so pay attention so you don’t miss the big day, reminds MopGarden![10]
  4. 4
    Examine framed photos of the villagers. When your friendship level is high enough, villagers will give you a framed photo of themselves. When you examine a photo, you can read their birthday on the back.[11]
  5. 5
    Check the character’s amiibo card. Amiibo cards are physical trading cards that allow you to invite villagers to your island. If you happen to have a villager’s card, their birthday will be listed at the bottom under their name. Fun fact: the icon beside their birthday represents their zodiac sign![12]
