Within the Residents section of Welbi, you can quickly and easily create monthly birthday posters for your whole community or for a specific home area or level of care. You can also customize your posters with colours and images. Birthday posters are great for:  - displaying in common areas so residents and passersby can see whose birthday is coming up - displaying in a staff room so all team members can be aware of and acknowledge residents' birthdays - enclosing in newsletters - quickly generating a list of resident birthdays at any time, for any given month!   To create a new birthday poster: 1. Navigate to the "Residents" section of the platform and click on the birthday cake button in the top right corner of the screen. ![](https://t8648278.p.clickup-attachments.com/t8648278/7537f0b9-66e3-45d0-9880-a615cd77a4a5/Screenshot_20221202_104705.png) 2.
