Birthday = the day you were born
Anniversary = the date an event happened (especially marriage or the beginning of a romantic relationship). Don’t use “anniversary” for the day you were born.
“My birthday is January 30th.” = I was born on January 30th in a previous year.
“Today’s our anniversary!” = We got married on this day in a previous year.
“I took my wife out to dinner for our anniversary.”
“Today is the 50th anniversary of the start of World War II.” = WWII started on this day 50 years ago.
