Try to make some fun plans with girlfriend(s) that won't remind you of your sitch. I don't know that I would have been able to handle a Passion Party in the early days. I spent my birthday with BF right after the bomb and I regret it because it totally ruined the day for me.
If it's important to you to recognize the day then go ahead and get a card. But don't do it if you just feel like you should recognize it. It's not bad at all to let the day pass unacknowledged.
If you love somebody, set them free. http://tinyurl.com/2empx2g
