Each year, we celebrate special occasions with family or friends. And it’s of the utmost importance that every family remembers important events and even better when they gather together to celebrate those big events like milestone birthdays, weddings and special anniversaries. Whether it is a small or grand family event, you need to make an effort to remember it.
These significant celebrations should never be missed and are sometimes the only reason you see distant relatives or even your whole family together in one room. But don’t be the one to forget these events, or your loved ones will surely get upset, disappointed or even mad.
We all know that life gets extremely busy and sometimes even your reminders and calendars get dwarfed by life itself. But it’s vital to set aside time to spend with your loved ones and family — they won’t be around forever, and next year may be too late.
If you need help keeping up with important dates, and want to make sure your family doesn’t disown you, here are a few tips:
- Take advantage of reminder services – Many online florists offer online calendars for their user accounts; which are great tools to ensure that you do not forget any significant occasions. Simply mark the dates and once it’s near, their free reminder service will email you of each calendar item you created. By making use of an online calendar, you get to prepare your presents with ease.
Quick tip: if you’re clueless on what to give but you would love to brighten the home, tulips are perfect flower for any occasion. For Australia-based customers, you can subscribe to the free reminder service at the Fresh Flowers website. But if you are from other parts of the globe, you can visit ProFlowers, which offers international services.
- Make a list – All the memorable dates between you and your spouse, girlfriend, boyfriend, parents, siblings, relatives, or friends should be listed down. It helps a lot if you create a list of these events because you will get to remember them easily. In addition, this list can be written down on your planner or calendar, so there will be a greater chance that you recall these dates. Online calendars like Google calendar allow recurring events and you can have alerts sent to you ahead of time as well.
- Review your list – It is not enough that you simply jot down all the important events in your life. Instead, you also need to take time to review your list from time to time. Check out your list of birthdays, planner or calendar and go review the list you have created often. With this, you won’t be missing out a special occasion, which your loved ones expect you to remember.
- Act on it – Once you remember any upcoming event, you have to act on it right away. If you don’t want to get stressed in preparing something special for your loved ones, then deal with it immediately. So, if you are planning to buy something, order or purchase it instantly. If you want to get a card to send, do it at least a week in advance. You can even keep a stockpile of cards at home that you buy on sale and you’ll never have another excuse to miss that special day.
On the whole, special dates are really important in one’s life. You need to pay attention to these significant events, for these are milestones one should never miss. Even just a small act can make someone’s day brighter.
