Never forget an anniversary again
An anniversary remembered a day late costs more than one remembered a month early. The fix is boringly simple.
Anniversaries need more notice than birthdays
Birthdays can survive a same-day message. Anniversaries usually involve a booking, a trip or a gift that has to arrive, so the useful reminder lands weeks earlier.
What to store
- The wedding date, and the day you met, if you mark both
- What you did last year, so you do not repeat it by accident
- A running gift idea, added whenever they mention something
- Anniversaries for other people you care about, including difficult ones
The gentler anniversaries
Some dates are not celebrations. The anniversary of a loss is often the day someone hears from nobody. A quiet note in your list, and a message on the day, is a small thing that lands very heavily in a good way.
How Cherishly handles it
- Any kind of yearly date, not just birthdays, with your own label
- Reminders a month, a week and a day ahead
- A private calendar feed for your usual calendar app
- Notes and a photo per person, kept private to your account
Frequently asked
How do I stop forgetting my wedding anniversary?
Store the date once with a reminder a month ahead, so a table, a trip or a gift is still bookable. A reminder on the day itself is the version that causes arguments.
Which anniversaries are worth tracking?
Weddings and the day you met are the obvious two. Many people also keep work anniversaries, house moves, sober anniversaries and the anniversary of a bereavement, so they can check in on someone.
Can I keep a private note with the date?
Yes. Notes and photos sit alongside each person and are only ever visible to you, so last year's restaurant or gift idea is there when you need it.
Will it appear in my normal calendar?
Cherishly gives you a private calendar feed you can subscribe to, so anniversaries show up in Apple Calendar, Google Calendar or Outlook alongside everything else.
