Question

What is the best field type/field option for a model that should only contain the date and month.

class Reminder(models.Model):
    person = models.OneToOneField(Person)
    reminder_one = models.???
    reminder_two = models.???

As I want to input a date that will act as a reminder each year I want to ensure no year is entered.

Thanks,

There are only two standard Django date fields-

DateField
DateTimeField

I suggest you use datefield and use the default querysets to sort by month and day:

QuerySets – Month

Otherwise, you would need to store the month and day as a string, and that gets messy and is just unnecessary.
