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

I barely wish my friends a happy birthday.

My mom, dad, sister, and wife get a birthday wish, and maybe the 3 people I know who share my birthday.

My friends get a birthday wish if something reminds me that it's their birthday.

Their kids get a birthday wish if it comes up in conversation or I happen to see them.

Of course I generally don't even celebrate my own birthday, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I didn't get the usual birthday card signed by all the coworkers I don't care about at work.
