Technically speaking, everybody only has one birthday and that's the day on which they were born. All subsequent celebrations are anniversaries. But more conventionally, a birthday is a celebration of a very specific event, i.e. the day on which you were born. An anniversary is simply the celebration (usually annual) of a memorable historical event - it could be your birthday, or it could be your wedding, or any other memorable historical event (Pearl Harbour, D-Day, Armistice Day, etc.).

Birthday= day of birth (first birthday). Second birthday= completion of 1 year from Birthday= First anniversary. In short X birthday= (X-1) anniversary.
Hope that helps.

Anniversary means 'returning yearly'. So it applies to any event that you commemorate every year. A birthday is a type of anniversary.

Birthday is the day you were born.
Anniversary is a celebration of any other big event,
i.e. Wedding, and also includes the anniversary of your birth.

A birthday is when a person was born. An anniversary
date is when you were married or the date a person
started on their job.
