We keep it simple in Miami. We have a birthday cake available in our fellowship hall on the first Sunday of the month. We invite those who have a birthday in that particular month to gather around the birthday cake for a special prayer of blessing for the new year by a Council member and then they get first dibs on a slice of cake. If we missed anyone's birthday from our printed list, that's the time for us to update our directory. Works like a charm and it incorporates anyone who wants to be recongized regardless of age.
