So did the Hobbit calendar: http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Shire_Calendar

Basically make "Mid-summer" or "New Years" days that are outside of months (we could have something similar if Feb 29 wasn't part of Feb or March) - Tolkien's version had the extra days also not be part of the week, so you'd have Monday - Yule - Tuesday for example so that a given day of the month would be the same weekday each year.

Downside - if your birthday fell on a weekday, it would always fall on a weekday, forever.
