Stack Overflow Question Sending Periodic Mail according to user's Setting in ASP.net?

I guess this is something similar here.

You can code a small console application, a simple database with 1 table as you said which keeps dates,names and other details you need.

Simply select all rows which meets condition

Birthday == DateTime.Now

and mail them in a loop.

You can add this exe as a scheduled job with a few clicks and set it to run every day. It would also be a good practice for you.

You can write a script file (possibly in VBScript as a VBS file) and schedule that script file in the Windows Task Scheduler (say every morning 8 AM) on the server level.
