Sorry sportswidow, I wasn't saying that you were turning it into a men vs. women debate at all. My comment was more about how it seems ok these days to joke about male simplicity (but you didn't do that at all). Like I said, I know how to laugh at myself and can make jokes about men and all that, but sometimes I feel like there's some trend to make fun of men in an effort to somehow negate the injustice towards women in the pas. I might just be reading too much into it though.
On topic though, I wouldn't remind someone outright. If there was an anniversary coming up I'd speak to my partner about how we'd celebrate together. If she forgot then she'd know after that. If my partner did forget I wouldn't take it to heart - if she shows me love in so many ways throughout the rest of the year, failing to do it in a particular way on a particular day isn't going to make me think twice about how she really feels. Like a few others have said, showing it on that one day only would make me worry more than showing it on all others except for that day.
And besides, isn't this what calendars are for? I haven't got a calendar now because I have no dates to memorise at the moment, but important dates have always gone straight in the calendar on my wall.
