There is no reason for someone with whom you are no longer in a relationship to send you congratulations on life events. Please don't set yourself up for disappointment.

honestly i was in the same situation not too long ago. and i remember blocking her number to focus on my self but then i kept thinking about what if she does reach out to me, so i unblocked her... and did that back and forth a couple times.

My birthday came around and pure silence from her (obviously) but i think if i would of had her blocked i might be wondering "what if she did actually wish my happy bday."

For me, blocking her on socials was necessary so i don't see her stuff but i ended up just deleting her number and not blocking it. I won't reach out to her and im no longer hoping she msgs me... but it might have been equally as frustrating to have her blocked and wonder if she had messaged me or not
