Celebrating Milestones: Unique Ideas for Anniversaries and Graduations
While sometimes just making it through the day can be a cause for celebration, other milestone moments deserve something unique to mark the moment. How? Are a couple of balloons and a bit of cake not enough for someone obtaining their degree? Well – that’s up to you! If you are here, the chances are you are looking forward to something a little different, so here is some inspiration to get you started.
A Gathering
Nothing says celebrating like having your family and friends all together to have fun. Whether it is an 18th, a 50th birthday, or a baby shower, having the people who support you the most surround you is a great way to enjoy a day.
When planning a gathering, you need to think about a couple of things. For a start, you will need a beautiful venue to fit all your guests in. Take a look at these special venues for parties for some inspiration.
You will also want to choose what food would be best, any entertainment that everyone would be interested in, and if there are going to be any speeches to commemorate the day!
A Scrapbook of Memories
Remembering how far you have come, all the good times, and all of the trials and tribulations you have had to endure and conquer is an excellent way to appreciate and enjoy to where you have gotten.
A scrapbook of memories is an excellent way to do this – to keep all treasured memories, events, and moments in a place for you or someone else to look back on whenever they want to.
This can work for birthdays – putting together photos that have taken you through your last year so you can meet your next. Graduations, where you can find photos of college and uni experiences, test results, and other knickknacks highlighting your journey, will make for a great memory book. And even baby showers – a collage of a pregnancy journey so far and the memories you would like to keep from it.
Whatever your milestone is, a scrapbook is very versatile and a great way to store memories for the future.
A Handmade Gift
If you are crafty and creative enough, a handmade gift can be a wonderful present to receive on a milestone that can help make it even more special.
The world is your oyster here, so use whatever medium you are comfortable with.
If you want to give someone a handmade gift but don’t quite possess the skill set to make what you envision, you can also commission someone else to do it, or opt for something such as a framed print or canvas.
Using photos is an excellent way to create a meaningful gift if you are not so good at creating crafty gifts yourself.
Celebrating milestones is an important thing to do. It shows someone how far they have come and lets them appreciate what they have and everything that they have achieved.
