Do You Celebrate Every Monthaversary?
Miss Alligator
Do you celebrate every month of your relationship that passes? If so, how do you celebrate? What about anniversaries?
Also, after your first anniversary, do you think you'd still celebrate each month? I'm curious as to what other people do in this situation.

I hate it when people celebrate a monthaversary. It's stupid and meaningless.
I mean, you have to celebrate a month of being together? Wow good job. Really tells me a lot on how you're unable to keep a guy.
I don't say anything to the people though. When my neighbor was telling me how she was going out with her boyfriend for the 1 month anniversary I kept my mouth shut and just said "Congrats!"
But pfft. Who cares?
Monthaversaries are stupid. Six monthaversary, that makes sense. One year anniversary makes sense. But month, two month, three month? No thanks.
I think people did that a lot more in middle school and high school when 6 months was considered a long time. And if people choose to do that, I think after the actual anniversary its a bit excessive.
But that is just me.
@thinkin_up_dreams@xanga - You're my hero.
Hubby and I don't celebrate it persay but, we mention it to each other and say "Hey....today we've been married for x-amount of months!" It's cool to remember. We are getting ready to celebrate our 1st year anniversary as a married couple...I'm so excited! :D
me and my boyfriend didn't exactly celebrate month anniversaries [i hate when people say monthaversary lol sorry], but we would say hey happy _ months. after a year it stopped all together haha.
We don't really make a big deal about it, but yeah, every month we usually do something special for each other. He is planning something very nice for our one year, however- The Cheesecake Factory, a night at the symphony, and a carriage ride around downtown afterwards.
:)
I think every six months is a landmark, personally. Especially since this is the first time I've been dating someone for six months and up.Â
No, I don't celebrate monthaversarys.
Me and my boyfriend do something special every month. Last week we celebrated month number 7. It's not super big or important, but it is nice to find a reason, big or small, to do something nice for each other.
I'm not sure if we'll continue after a year... but I'd like to.
When My husband and I first got together I made him for the first six months and then a year and every year there after. He is the only one I did that with huh must of know we would stay together. We got married on the day we started dating too. September 1st 2004 after being together for 2 years. He got me a necklace for our one month and I had gotten him a piggy bank casue he would always give away his change to our friends. The second one we went out to eat and I made him cookies. The third one he got me a kitty cat calender casue I love cats and I got him a cd. for the fourth I had gotten him a shirt and he gave me a card and so on.... Just simple stuff like that. Actually when I started writing this I got warm feeling from being able to have done this.
Nope. Heck, we don't even celebrate actual anniversaries all the time.
I agree with @The_Tudor_Rose@xanga about how month anniversaries are more of a big deal in younger couples, where the relationships don't usually last that long, or earlier on in the relationship.
We don't celebrate it, but we acknowledge the date.
"Tomorrow's our anniversary!" but no celebrating. We don't have enough money to celebrate every monthaversary. lol
Having anniversaries too often makes them lose their worth.
My bf and I didn't celebrate anything until the first year because that's when it actually becomes special. Usually after a year, you get to know the deepest part of your significant other and if you still love them after that, then that's a very special, cherishable thing.
I wouldn't say celebrate. Like today for example is our 15 months but we haven't really seen each other much and just sort of mentioned it via text... half a year or years though yeah
i did that once in hs and eventually stopped because it got tedious. i had a friend who was so happy to finally get a girl that he counted the weeks with her... lame.
I don't think having a legit celebration every month is necessary. It's nice to remember the date, though (:
no to monthaversaries... they seem lame after dating someone for almost three years. anniversaries - yes, although sometimes it has been difficult to actually do stuff on the day of due to cirumstantial factors (college graduation--families in town, current long distance)
just make it a bit special.
I think it's kind of silly to celebrate monthaversaries. My bf and I sort of just...acknowledge them, but we don't do anything special for them.
Then again I think it's just one of those to each their own kind of things...I mean...if someone's excited that they've been together for two months, who am I to rain on their parade? =) It's almost kind of cute even.
My peeve is actually when people call them month anniversaries. I mean, yeah, monthaversary isn't actually a word, but to say month anniversary is even MORE incorrect since the prefix "ann" means yearly, annual...helloooo.
but...that's just me. =)
In the beginning we celebrated every month but after a year we only celebrated a year and a half and two years. I mean we still said happy anniversary to each other and our alerts on our phones say "Happy Year and X months Anniversary with baby!" but other than that we didn't really celebrate.. just spent the day together. I know that if me and my boyfriend ever break up I won't celebrate months with the new boyfriend.
@black_lie@xanga - I have a friend that knew everything down to the hour. I used to get pissed off when he would say "We've been together for 8 weeks, 4 days, and 10 hours" instead of 2 months or just 8 weeks.
i think it's more of a puppy love relationship type of thing, a smaller-scale version because relationships don't last so long then. although i have actually known someone to celebrate "monthversaries" up to almost 2 years, which seems a little excessive if you ask me.
I'm single now, but I didn't even really celebrate my anniversary with my last SO. We occasionally mentioned the monthaversary, but we were doing the long distance thing for most of the relationship, so celebrating wasn't very feasible.
We mention it to each other, but we don't really celebrate.. we're just like, oh it's been this many months, awesome. After a year we'll probably just stop counting xD. Our six monthaversary is in May, perhaps we'll go out to dinner. Meh, I'd rather just be with him.
