BLANK CELEBRATION GUIDE
A GUIDE TO CREATING YOUR GUIDE
CELEBRATION – What are you celebrating?
Date (keep your guide in order for the year)
REFLECTION
Write your favourite quote or something that includes your feelings, general
information or origin story – it is a great way to remember why the day is special.
THEME
A good way to set intention to your celebration is to establish a theme – whether it be traditional or unique, decorative or meaningful.
BEAUTY & FASHION
Plan ahead so you can feel your best. Pick your outfits, how you want to style your hair, nails, makeup and how you personally prepare. Not every celebration calls for a shopping spree or expert styling, you can just decide what colour you want to wear for the day.
DÉCOR
Keep your theme in mind and remind yourself of what you already have or what is needed.
ENTERTAINMENT
List your favourite movies, tv shows, playlists, albums that reference your celebration.
FLOWERS
Flowers are a great addition to any celebration – list colours or favourite seasonal types.
FOOD & DRINK
Menu items are a staple for all celebrations. Keep a personalized menu on hand to be prepared.
FUN
Seasons and holidays are always full of community events or fun at home, even if you can’t do it all, keep a note so you are reminded of your favourite ways to enjoy and just do what you can. If it applies, add in some fun activities for the kids or your workplace.
GIFTS & GREETINGS
Create a list for the special person or people who are being celebrated; beside each name include gift ideas and if you need to send a personal greeting (cards, letters, online messages, posts, phone calls). Check off each item as they are purchased or wrapped.
PARTIES – HOSTING OR ATTENDING
Whether hosting or attending a party, some thought and preparation is required. A checklist can help you feel ready.
Hosting – What needs to be done in advance? (invitations, house cleaning, yard maintenance, decorations, food, entertainment)
Attending – What do I need to do to be ready to attend and be a welcomed guest? (gifts and being prepared)
PHOTOS
Photographs are the best keepsake for any life event – take them, post them, print them, display them, organize them and look back each year with appreciation.
TRADITIONS
Traditions can be, well, traditional or personal to you. Keep your favourite traditions here or add in new ideas you want to try.
