It’s January, a brand new year … and the 11th anniversary for Doverwood Public Relations, which eventually was renamed Doverwood Communications when we expanded our services to include full-service marketing … This also means EVERYONE has a whole year of new “events” to celebrate (aka, anniversaries that honor milestones).
Today, one of our clients asked us specifically about anniversary ideas.  Everybody knows that the Silver anniversary is the 25th and the gold anniversary the 50th. But what about all the ones in between?
We shared this list with them … you for a limited time, you may apply these traditional and/or modern “gifts” to all sorts of annual events/anniversaries/celebrations.Â
