Your romantic calendar: 7 dates to write down

When it comes to important dates in your relationship, do you plan ahead or do you panic at the last minute and have to rush out for a gift at 11 o’clock? Men especially seem to get the idea that planning ahead is cheating when, in fact, thinking about your partner in advance is romantic.

When planning your romantic calendar, it is always a good idea to write down the key dates that you will celebrate next year first. You can even choose to buy whatever card you need in the year in one visit to the store and save some time. Again, this is not cheating, it is planning and foresight.

So what are the essential dates of your romantic year?

1. Your partner’s birthday

You may forget your own birthday, but forgetting your partner’s birthday is generally a very bad idea. If you think you can take the risk of doing this, you’d better sell out immediately and save the proper birthday cards and some fantastic non-perishable gifts – perfume / cologne, jewelry, and love tokens of all kinds.

2. Valentine’s Day (February 14)

If one day of the year is considered a day of love and romance, it is Valentine’s Day. Named after several early Christian martyrs named Valentine, today Valentine’s Day is widely regarded as tea day to remember your romantic partner. Missing out on this is a definite no-no, but you can choose to gift a card on the day and buy the flowers or book a dinner on a day other than the 14th, when prices for both seem to skyrocket.

3. Your wedding anniversary

Married? Forgetting your wedding anniversary can be the cardinal sin of relationships. Men seem especially bad at this. Mark the date on your calendar!

4. Anniversary of your first date

Many couples celebrate the anniversary of their first date, especially those who have been dating for years but have not yet married. Even if you are married, consider celebrating this important date, perhaps not with cards and gifts, but with a special visit to the area or place where you first met. Give the gift of your time, reliving the old days and talking about your future.

5. Sweetest day (third Saturday in October)

Despite being created by candy makers in the Midwest, many people celebrate Sweetest Day with candy cards and gifts. Some people consider it Valentine’s Day in the second half of the year. If your partner celebrates the Sweetest Day, make sure you do too!

6. Mother’s Day

If you and your partner have children, help them celebrate Mother’s Day, especially during the early years. Many new moms have been disappointed on Mother’s Day when their partners look at them and ask “What?”

Mother’s Day is celebrated all over the world, but often on different days. In the United States it is the second Sunday in May. In the United Kingdom Maternity Care Sunday It falls on the fourth Sunday of Lent (3 weeks before Easter Sunday). Check wikipedia for the dates other countries celebrate Mother’s Day

7. Father’s Day

Men are generally not as sensitive to Father’s Day as women to Mother’s Day, but if your partner is a father, help the children celebrate Father’s Day.

Father’s Day is celebrated on different dates around the world. See wikipedia for a complete list of Father’s day dates.

Summary

These are some of the key dates on your romantic calendar. Don’t give your partner any reason for disappointment next year, put these dates on your calendar now to ensure a good foundation for your romantic year.
