An anniversary is a celebration that is especially important for a person, his friends and relatives, since, unlike an annual birthday, an anniversary symbolizes a whole life stage passed, a kind of round date, which should be celebrated in a special way. Many heroes of the day and their relatives are faced with the question: what is the best way to celebrate the anniversary, and how to form the scenario of the holiday so that it is cheerful, original, joyful, and will be remembered by the guests and the hero of the occasion for many years?
Instructions
Step 1
The main thing that should not be forgotten in the process of preparing a holiday is the organizational element. Competent organization and early distribution of roles and tasks between friends and guests will ensure a successful celebration and positive emotions for all its visitors. Think in advance of the congratulations, poems, songs and toasts that you plan to voice at the holiday - since many people prefer to say their own congratulations, gather a small meeting of future participants to distribute congratulations and announce the order of the holiday.
Step 2
Send anniversary invitations to each guest according to a pre-compiled invite list. Think over the premises in which your event will be held - it can be a club, cafe, restaurant, banquet hall, hotel, as well as a hostel, a country house and a forest glade, in case of good weather and a warm season.
Step 3
In addition, the style of celebrating the anniversary largely depends on the personal preferences of the hero of the day and the contingent of his guests, and of course, on how old the birthday person is. The anniversary of a twenty-five-year-old man is celebrated much more informally and actively than the anniversary of the fifty-year-old head of the family.
Step 4
For the anniversary of a young man, it is imperative to prepare a dance and song program, active and funny contests and other activities that will amuse his friends. For an elderly person, the celebration of the anniversary is more difficult, since many more guests come to such celebrations, among whom are people of different contingents and of different ages. Accordingly, such an anniversary should be prepared so that none of the guests will get bored and find something to their liking. Make sure that the program of the celebration includes songs, dances, and contests that do not require mobility - some guests prefer to communicate without leaving the table.
Step 5
The hero of the day should express his wishes in relation to the type of the holiday being held - the anniversary can be both large-scale and modest. A large-scale anniversary involves a festive reception of guests, a large feast, an entertainment and dance program with the participation of all guests, to whom invitation cards are sent in advance. If you are preparing such a holiday, be sure to prepare a detailed scenario of the celebration, music for dancing and props for contests and events.
Step 6
A more modest anniversary excludes a solemn reception and begins immediately with a feast - usually such holidays are held by most people at home or in a small cafe. Depending on the number of prospective guests, think about whether it will be enough to set the table at home, or whether you need to rent a banquet or buffet room in a restaurant.
Step 7
Celebrating the anniversary outside the home has a number of indisputable advantages - in particular, the hero of the day does not have to worry about preparing dishes, setting the table, accommodating guests and tidying up the apartment after the holiday. In any case, the space in which the anniversary is held should be illuminated, beautiful and elegant. Decorate a hall or apartment with ribbons, flowers, balloons and greeting collages.
Step 8
An important element of any holiday is a good host who will not let people get bored and will constantly maintain their attention and interest. You can order the services of a professional host in the event of a large banquet, or you can offer the role of a showman to your friend or relative who has good organizational talent, creative streak and good communication skills.
Step 9
The scenario of the anniversary must be created in accordance with the individual characteristics of the birthday person - his zodiac sign, hobbies, favorite hobbies, and much more.
