Celebrating Those Who Are Important To You…

May 8th, 2017

In today’s day and time, remembering all the important days like Birthdays, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Anniversaries is an impossible task. The list goes on and besides remembering the day, one need to plan and get the perfect gift as well and make the day special for their loved one. So make sure you plan well and know how much time it’s going to take you to be prepared for the day.

There are many activities that you can do for your loved ones to celebrate their special days like writing them a letter or making them a card, making their favorite meal, recreating a great memory together, a music session with their favorite music, look through your memory box, going on an adventure, sending Father’s day fruit baskets and creating a Polaroid or decorations.

First step towards being able to be on top of your game is getting a list ready with all those important days. Once the list is ready you can assess the time and energy you need to put in for the celebrations. You can start by listing down the family members, close friends and other loved ones and important days associated with them. Don’t forget to add information on the extended family members and co-workers to the list. Ensure the list is accurate and updated as frequently as possible.

There are plenty of places where one can use this list or store the information. A good starting point could be that Calendar at our homes. The calendar can be updated and information can be represented in many ways. You can be as creative with this as you wish. Cake can be used for birthdays, numbers for anniversaries, and a male’s Silhouette for Father’s day or a female’s Silhouette for Mother’s Day.

Technology can play a major role in this as well. You can set email reminders and schedule your days according to your list. You can feed information from your list on here and set reminders basis how much time you think you need in order to prepare for the particular day. There are plenty of applications and online websites where you can go and register for free and you can get reminders of all important days throughout the year. You need to provide information only once which can be edited later as well.

One more trick which is imperative to have up your sleeve is to prepare for gifts in advance for these days. Generic things like cards, postcards etc. can be purchased in bulk from your local stores and when it’s time, you can dispatch them after personalizing them by writing notes or messages from you. If one has a rather creative mind and wishes to go for a much more economical option, they can create templates of cards on their computer then they just need to personalize them and take a print out and the cards are ready to be sent out.

Of course there are many neutral options like Chocolates, Flowers, Cards, Candles and fruit baskets with which you can never go wrong.

Happy Celebrating!!
