What is golden birthday?

A "golden birthday" is a fun milestone that occurs once in a person's lifetime. It is celebrated when someone turns the same age as the day of the month they were born. For instance, if someone was born on the 10th of a month, their golden birthday would be when they turn 10 years old. It's sometimes also called a "lucky birthday" or "champagne birthday."

The concept of a golden birthday is often used to make the celebration of that specific birthday a bit more special. Some people choose to commemorate this occasion with themed parties, special gifts, or unique traditions to mark the coincidence of the numbers.

The idea of a golden birthday is thought to have been popularized by the American author Joan Bramsch in her book about birthdays, although the exact origins are not clearly documented. Regardless, it’s a whimsical way to add an extra layer of excitement to a birthday celebration.
