We all have certain moments in our lives that we cherish, from births to anniversaries and everything in-between. And most of the time, they’re memories that we want to share with our friends and loved ones.
It wasn’t all that long ago that we were relegated to only sharing our cherished memories via framed photos, bulky photo albums, or slideshows. Now, we have social media, cellphones, and tablets. But aside from those, these days there are a lot of great ways to celebrate those memories with others and we’ve found six of them.
1. Mark Any Occasion
Scrapbooking was rather popular a few years ago and while they were great for preserving memories, they weren’t really displayable. With collage blankets, you can either use them as conversation pieces at home or give them as a gift to celebrate those cherished memories. These are great for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, births, weddings, and just about any other event.
2. An Oldie But a Goodie
Lockets have been around for quite some time, but these days they have been stepped up a notch. Over at Pictures on Gold, you can have photos permanently laser-etched into a variety of white or yellow gold and sterling silver lockets.
Give one to a new mom with a photo of her bundle of joy, get Grandma one with her wedding photo for her anniversary, or use your imagination and customize one specifically for your unique event.
3. Crank Up Your Celebrations
When you host get-togethers for the holidays and special events, you want them to be memorable. Marking the occasion with food, drinks, and camaraderie is nice of course, but there are a few things you can do to really celebrate those memories.
Personalized balloons are very affordable and you can get custom table covers, napkins, chair covers, and even disposable cups. This is also a great time to celebrate past events or memorialize lost family members by picking out some special photos and writing heartfelt messages.
4. Get Personal
Everyone drinks. Whether they stick to water, milk, and juice, or they enjoy beer, wine, and the occasional margarita, refreshments are a must for any celebration.
A great way to celebrate a family reunion, vacation, or other get-together is with personalized glasses. There are various size/style choices as well as the option to add photos and custom messages so that you can customize them and capture those memories for a lifetime.
5. Let Everyone Show Off
Whether celebrating the pending arrival of a firstborn, a wedding or anniversary, or even a family reunion, personalized shirts are a fantastic way to capture and celebrate special moments. There are numerous colors to choose from and there are even discounts that get bigger based on the number of shirts you order.
6. Embrace the Web
What easier way is there to share and celebrate memories that you hold dear than getting online and creating a website that you have complete control of? Thanks to content management systems (CMS) like WordPress, building and maintaining a website is easier than ever.
Furthermore, getting your own .com or .net address/domain name is simple and affordable. Best of all, you can update your website as often as you like and even have a mailing list to alert your friends and family when you add something new.
Celebrating your memories with loved ones is almost always a fun endeavor. Virtually everyone enjoys looking back on fun times and memorable events and, with the suggestions above, you and yours can do so in a way that lasts for a long time to come.
