Anniversary is celebrated is celebrated once a year while monthsary is celebrated every month. My partner and I always celebrate our monthsary. We go out, have dinner, go to the mall, or go to the park, or if we have the luxury of time, we go out of town. We have pictures of each and every montthsary that passed. My facebook profile is filled with our photos and albums of our monthsary. Some of our friends said that it is exaggerated. They said we should only celebrate during our anniversary so it would be special. They said that it will excite us more if we celebrate only once a year. But for me and my partner, we always find reasons to celebrate that's why every month we see to it that we celebrate. It may not be a grand celebration, but we make sure that it will always be special.
How about you friends, what do you celebrate? Monthsary or Anniversary?

When we were still not married, we do celebrate our monthsary even how simple celebration it would be but when we got married we only get to celebrate the date of our wedding or our anniversary :)

i guess newly couples still celebrate monthsary but old or long-time couples go only for anniversary which is yearly. i don't have special someone now, but if there would be celebrations in our family, it would be monthsary of our baby (which is my niece). we do celebrate each month of her life. she is now at her fifth year. but we always have pasta every month for her.
It is good to celebrate monthsaries specially with children. which they will always remember that they are loved.

Yes, since she is the only baby in the family, she deserved to be loved by all.
You know, i'm kinda sad now cause she is sick, having fever,cough and colds,finding it hard to breathe and 3arlier she almost had combulsion.
Hope sue'll be okay by tomorrow.

That's cool. I'm sure your niece feels she was so loved by your family. In fact, monthsaries and anniversaries are not only for lovers. It's for every one.

It is very romantic for your partner and you celebrate the monthsary. I remember when my husband and I just got married. We also celebrated it monthly. As at that time we all had the passion to the marriage. Then later we just celebrated the anniversary. Now we have a child and we even don't have the time to celebrate our anniversary. Now we focus on the work and our child much more:)
I love China

I guess that really changes when you have a child already. Because you have to give all your time for work and for your child.

I think it is not important how often you celebrate the day that you become lovers/couple. You can opt to celebrate it monthly, daily or yearly. Likewise, the matter on how you celebrate it neither important. What is important is to celebrate it, keeping your relationship to grow more.
Since the time that my wife and I are still GF/BF we do celebrate the day taht we become couple yearly. It is the time that we eat on a restaurant and have a gift for each other. But we also see to it that everyday we would let each feel that we are important to each other.

Yes, what's really important is the conscious effort of both person on how to make the relationship grow. Celebrations are just a simple event that can somehow make it special.

Life is uncertain.So I would like to celebrate 'daysary' instead of monthsary or anniversary.However I spend neither anniversary nor monthsary.I celebrate everyday of my life.I thank God for He has allowed me to live today and blessed me with all the things that I need to live with dignity.Leave it,I wish you all the best on all your monthsary,anniversary and blah,blah....,

Yes, daysary is a good idea too. Celebrating each and every passing day of your lives.

We only celebrated our anniversary, because it is special and it only happens once every year.

I think both monthsary and anniversary are special. It just really depends on both of the person which one they want to celebrate.

For our first year , my guy and I celebrated each month. We were so happy we found each other.Each month we had our little celebration. But now we celebrate each year. Why the change? I feared I would forget one month. And by now we know each moment we spend together is a celebration! My advice? Keep doing what you two are doing. It isn't anyone's business or right to tell you two How to celebrate your union.Take Care.

If it makes you happy, I see no reason to change. However, you are probably boring your friends.

At least even if you get bored counting the months, you're still with the person you have from the start. Eight years is quite a while. I hope that you would count more and more years together.

I'd like to celebrate monthsary. But i find it's hard to fulfill. Because i have not plenty time.
When i still was alone, i always find a time to celebrate every month. I can call my friend to have dinner, go shopping, play games. But now i'm married, and i have a daughter, i find my life is so simple, just working and playing with my daughter.

That's usually one of the hardest things in celebrating, if you don't really have that enough time to squeeze in to your schedule. But I guess you can celebrate it with your daughter.. =)

My boyfriend and I will make a big deal out of our anniversary than our monthiversary. We're far from each other now that he's in the army but before he left we'd do little things to celebrate our monthiversary or we'd say happy ____(however many months and years we've been together on each monthiversary).
I think it's fine to celebrate your monthiversaries. You should always find a reason to celebrate with each other :)

I guess you handle relationships well. Being apart from the one you love but still able to keep the relationship is a good thing. I hope you'll have more time to spend together.

I actually celebrate both monthsary and anniversary. It's good to celebrate both of them even in just a simple celebration. Celebrating anniversary and monthsary don't requires a lot of money yet it requires effort and willingness to do it ( I don't mean here that those who did not celebrate monthsary never give willingness and effort about their love; what I mean here is you're able to give importance to some minor and major details in your life even how busy you are. You celebrate things in a simple and memorable way. Honestly there was a month that me and my partner don't have enough money for our monthsary we just make a card and hug each other and then watch a movie in our house.

I agree with you. It doesn't really have to be a grand celebration. As long as you are together, that's enough to make the day special.

I'd like to celebrate with both to keep the relationship interesting but since I've never had a relationship that lasted a year I'm still hoping to celebrate an anniversary. And anniversaries should be planned out like a weekend abroad or something like that while you can have monthsaries in a cool restaurant in the city.

I hope you'll be able to find that someone who would celebrate each and every month or year or season with you.

It's normal to celebrate monthsaries for boyfriends and girlfriends. At this stage in our relationship, it is important to constantly show our time and affection because we are still building a foundation in our relationship. Constant bonding is a good thing. My boyfriend and I will be celebrating our 3rd year together in a week and celebrated the months in between.

We do the same. We celebrate anniversary, a little special than monthsaries. But still manages to celebrate the months in between. It's such a good feeling that every time we do so, we fall deeper and deeper in love with each other.
