National Sisters Day falls on the first Sunday in August and is the perfect time to celebrate your relationship with your sister. There is no single way to celebrate this holiday, but there are many things you can do to make this day absolutely special. If you live with your sister or live near her, plan a day full of fun and activities that you will remember for a long time. If you live in different cities, call her to tell her how happy you are that she is a part of your life. Regardless of whether it's a biological sister, an in-law, or even a very good friend, National Sisters Day is the perfect opportunity to make her feel loved and appreciated.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Celebrate with Your Sister
Step 1. Tell your sister about the holiday
Introduce the topic in advance so she can get organized. National Sisters Day is a celebration of mutual esteem and sisterly love, so you better know what you have in mind and have a chance to prepare. It would be terrible if you planned a full day of fun only to find that your sister already has another commitment!
You can say something like, "Hey Laura, did you know this Sunday is National Sisters Day?"
Step 2. Buy her a gift or make one yourself
Exchanging gifts isn't an essential part of this holiday, but it's still a nice gesture to give your sister something special. If you know he wants something, buy it in advance. If you'd rather give her something you made yourself, make her some cookies or burn her a CD.
In some cases, giving her a simple note, bought or written by you, can be a very meaningful and touching gesture
Step 3. Hang decorations
If you live with your sister, you can decorate the house to make the holiday even more special. Purchase festoons, confetti, or any decorations of your choice. You can also pin photos of the two of you together on the walls to customize the decorations.
Step 4. Wish you a good National Sisters Day
When you first meet her on the day of the party, wish her well, hug her and tell her how much she means to you.
- You can say something like, "Happy National Sisters Day! I'm so happy to have you in my life!".
- You can also write a post on social networks where you celebrate the party.
Step 5. Send her a gift
There's no right time to give your sister a gift, but it's usually best to do it early in the day.
- If you bought or made a gift, give it to him by saying something like, "I remember you said you wanted it very much" or "It made me think of you."
- You can also make a nice gesture for her. Make her breakfast or do the housework yourself to show her how much you care.
Step 6. Agree
National Sisters Day is the perfect opportunity to joke with her. Wear coordinated clothing or buy funny hats that you will both wear in public. This is a great way to experience an unforgettable sisters day and show everyone the unique relationship that unites you.
Step 7. Engage in a special activity
If you have already decided what to do, go out and enjoy. If not, propose activities that make the day special. You can plan a lot of things, like eating out, going to the movies, going on a hike together, having a picnic or going to the beach.
- Try to remember if your sister ever told you she wanted to do or see something in town, and plan a schedule based on her preferences.
- Make sure you plan something fun for both of you and remember to compromise if you can't agree on what to do.
Step 8. Leave room for nostalgia
National Sisters Day is the perfect time to remember the past you shared together. Talk to your sister about fondest childhood memories. You can even whip out an old photo album or family home movies for a fun and exciting journey into the past.
If you are celebrating National Sisters Day with a friend or sister who has recently entered your life, talk about the recent memories you are most attached to
Step 9. Create a positive atmosphere
In some cases, it can be difficult for sisters to get along. You may get the impression that you always end up fighting. On the occasion of National Sisters' Day, try to put aside misunderstandings. Remember this is a special day, so try to celebrate your unique relationship without digging into the past.
Method 2 of 2: Party with Your Sister from a Distance
Step 1. Schedule a National Sisters Day Phone Call
If you don't live in the same town as your sister, this holiday is even more important! Tell her about your plans in advance so she can prepare and try to schedule a phone or video call for that day.
- After saying goodbye to your sister, wish her a happy National Sisters Day. This will show her that this is not just a phone call; you are calling her to celebrate your relationship with her.
- Tell her you love her and miss her. Try to keep the conversation cheerful and positive, but be honest. Keep her up to date on the latest events in your life, but avoid talking about sad topics unnecessarily.
- If you have more than one sister, try to organize a video conference or group call.
Step 2. Give your sister a gift
Since you can't have this party together, buying or making a gift is a great way to bridge the gap between you. Try to think of something she might like. Remember that small gifts are easier to ship.
- Make sure to ship your gift on time, so that it arrives on the day of the party or early. If you're worried your sister might open it before Sisters' Day, write a note on the package and remind her to wait.
- If you prefer not to mail the gift, you can also try sending something to your sister over the internet. You can give her a gift certificate, share songs she likes with her, or even write her a loving email.
Step 3. Create a post on social networks
If you both use social networks, write a post to celebrate National Sisters Day. You can include a photo of the two of you and add a few words about your special relationship.
For example, under the photo you can write something like: "Sofia, I am so happy to have you in my life. I hope you are having a lot of fun in New York and have a nice National Sisters Day!"
Step 4. Plan a surprise with your sister's friends
Ask her friends for help to make the party even more special for her. You can ask them to set up her room with themed decorations or even plan something more creative, like a treasure hunt to lead her to your gift!
Don't wait until the last minute to ask her friends for help and make sure they keep it a secret
Advice
- Avoid arguing with your sister, even just for that day!
- If you're celebrating with a half sister, step sister, or adopted sister, tell her that even if you don't have a blood bond, she is part of your family and is very important to you.
