SMALL IS THE NEW BIG
Big celebrations can be joyous and heartwarming. Anticipation just adds to the excitement. But there are so many reasons to get together and celebrate smaller wins and milestones. Sharing those moments with friends makes day to day life that much sweeter.
FRENCH CELEBRATION AND TRADITION
Getting married is cause for celebration. If you’ve chosen the right person. And birthdays, that fête goes without saying. But finishing a long slaved-over book, nabbing tickets to a sold-out concert, even a long weekend just when you all need one can also be great excuses - reasons, even - to get together, open the French wheat beer with a twist – hmm, wonder what that might be - and toast your good luck.
HERE’S TO YOU
The tradition of getting together to celebrate an event can be traced back to man’s earliest days. Marking a moment. Shining a spotlight on the milestones that make us happiest, even when they’re small, with people we care about makes us happier. Getting some ideas for celebrations of your own? Read on. We’ve got some elegant suggestions for you.
WHAT’S THE PLAN?
Unlike a big celebration, last minute is okay. Invite by text? Absolutely. Picking up nibbles at the posh deli in your neighborhood? We give that a thumbs-up. Pop some wrapped bonbons (candy to you) in blue balloons before you blow them up. When one pops, as they inevitably will, candy rains down on your guests. Celebrations with a modern twist don’t follow rules (except maybe to make sure the 1664 Blanc wheat beer is plentiful and plenty cold!).
Think outside the box. That applies both to reasons for getting friends over to yours and making it feel special when they get there. Now you just need a non-traditional milestone to celebrate. Deal signed? Friends in town for 24 hours? First real snowfall? All great unconventional reasons to throw a mini-fête. Just got to inbox-zero? Now THAT is a toast-worthy accomplishment.
