Questions & Answers about wasurenai you ni, genkan no doa ni memo o hatte okimasu.

Why is it 忘れないように and not 忘れませんように?

Because the form before ように is usually the plain form of the verb, not the polite ます form.

• 忘れない = plain negative
• 忘れません = polite negative

So:

• 忘れないように = so that I don’t forget / in order not to forget

Even though the main sentence ends politely with 貼っておきます, the earlier clause still uses the plain form because that is how this grammar pattern works.
