In 2022, there will be exactly 100 years from the day the founding of the main male holiday of the country. February 23, 1922 - the day of the Red Army, since 1946 he became the day of the Soviet Army and the Navy, but in the 1995th renamed the Day of Defender of the Fatherland. The names changed, and the date of the holiday remained the same. And congratulate all men on this day, even those who do not have a relationship to military service. In this article, consider how to note on February 23.
Celebration in different countries
An analogue of the Russian Day of Defender of the Fatherland in Australia is celebrated on April 25, on this day events dedicated to the memory of fallen soldiers are held in the country. This is a day off in Australia. On May 6, the professional feast of the army is celebrated in Bulgaria: the day of courage and the day of the Armed Forces were united under the same date. And in the US, the day of the Armed Forces - May 16, but to say that much attention is paid to this holiday, it is impossible. Days of veterans and commemoration days are conducted more largely.
In Finland on June 4, the day of defensive forces, this is a national holiday, in which the title and awards are awarded. On June 27 - the Day of the UK's Armed Forces, once the veterans were honored on this day, today they congratulate the current defenders of the Motherland and those who have to become in the future. In Poland, on August 15, the feast of Polish troops are celebrated, this is the state day off, which coincides with the holiday of Assumption. August 25 in Brazil - a day of a soldier.
Well, those who are looking for a reason to congratulate not only people of Russia and other countries in common for all day, it is worth remembering the date on November 19, it is at the end of the autumn that the International Day of Men is held. The holiday was established in 2000.
How to creatively celebrate the holiday?
Traditional corporate gifts with male perfumes, cosmetics and socks in beautiful packaging seem to be equipped with formal events. In the family, a holiday can go more original, because households know the tastes and interests of men, and these gifts or surprises will be address and pleasant. But even in the family to come up with something that really surprised men, it does not always work.
Consider several original ideas of the celebration, to which it would be worth noticeing.
- Secret dinner. The story itself is not new, but not every man is February 23 will expect such an event. In Hollywood films, the birthday room is included in the house, surprised by the darkness and silence, and when it includes the light, sees guests with gifts and treats. The light is not necessary to turn off, but to gather to the home dinner of the male friends (perhaps - an army) idea that can be very successful. The main thing is not to break and prepare guests.
- Hike to Museum of Military Glory. If the boys grow in the family, then such an event, as a visit to the themed museum, can be the right choice of focus on the holiday, especially if the boys were previously not there. Yes, and the older generation of men such a cultural outset can like.
- Tickets for shooting tickets. To shoot, relieve stress and unusually spent time would like many men, but all the legs do not reach. The wife can take the organization of such an event on himself.
- Organize a sports match. If a man loves sports, and his like-minded people are known, you can organize a football / volleyball / basketball game, after which all participants of the game honor gifts and light treats. The main thing is to inform everyone in advance that the evening should be free and that everyone will be prepared to a sports call.
Important! The usual feast to replace more active pastime is always a more winning and really memorable option.
Organization for loved
You can celebrate on February 23 at home with family and children, which is also not necessarily boring. If there are children in the family, prepare a festive concert with them, to learn the songs-poems, draw postcards and drawings - an option that always and at all times looks most touching. But you can do and slightly more creatively: to invite relatives and friends in advance to participate in the video address. Those who are not near, can just write a few words congratulations for the video, but a mother (or other households) everything mounted in one festive video. And in the evening from the work of the dad and her husband, show on the big screen this video - a surprise will surely delight him.
If the holiday is decided to celebrate together with her husband or lover, you can play "Sherlock". For this, you can hide small gifts around the house that a husband in his wife's prompts will be squeezed. For example: see where daily surprises are usually waiting for you, very tasty. And under the lid of the pan, a man finds, for example, a favorite chocolate. And in the festive program there may be other ideas.
- Board. Today it is fashionable, moreover, the lesson is really fascinating, even if you play only two. Board games can be bought, order online or rent. But it is better to play something: this will be money (many like this), gifts or desires - decide two.
- Dinner with candlelights under favorite video clips. You can make a playlist in advance, and for the interest of dinner can be made on the floor. We need decor - candles, possibly garland with monochrome lights, beautiful tray filed in cute plates food, glasses, wine. And in the midst of the celebration, a man can give a new diary, which will be hidden by a small envelope with a note-recognition.
- Play the prefix and there is a fast food. Parents also get tired of being adults with the right people, on the bedside tables of which are current books, and in the refrigerator - a solid head. If there is an opportunity to stay together on February 23, it is possible to "fear" into the prefix, to order a delicious fast food and spend this evening outside the system of strict rules.
- A walk to the movies. It works even when it seems to be a banality, especially if the pair does not often pamper themselves with tickets for the last row. And Ice cream after the movie is tastier, and you can get home by a romantic walk in the February darkness. Especially if the snow-free route is beautiful and does not very exhaust.
This is an alternative to home celebration.
Undoubtedly, There are men who do not like surprises and prefer the celebration to agree with them. But this does not mean that everything will be dry and completely without surprise. A woman can offer him an evening program to choose from. It is beautifully arranged, send it by e-mail (as if this is a business letter), it will determine the man and in the "Menu" it will enjoy the choice.
How to spend with friends?
Many men like this day to celebrate in the company of comrades. Then February 23 turns into a noisy male holiday, which every year can be carried out in different ways.Paintball game
So call the team game with the use of "weapons", which shoots balls with paint. The balls themselves are made of gelatin (more precisely, their shell), the paint is food in them, safe to human health. Paintball can be sports and tactical. There are many game scenarios who offer paintball clubs to customers. Men who like Extreme, Evening or Day of Paintball Game will deliver a lot of emotions. And girls, if not afraid, can join the guys.
Rest at nature
In winter, not everyone loves to be selected in nature, considering that except for frozen and cold, there are no other options at this time of year. Of course, such an opinion is wrong. You can rent a house (or get to someone to the country, for the city), to flood the stove, prepare a simple, but very tasty food (duck with apples, potatoes, booby), spend time away from the city. If the street is snow, skiing, skates, sledges - the fun will be for everyone. The main thing is not to forget to fix what is happening in the photo and video: and then you can mount a small commemorative film. If there are children, they will also remember such a holiday.
home party
In advance, organize a festive party by February 23, it is possible for this: send invitations to friends, in which to clarify what will be the input ticket. For example, you can enter the party, only performing a song or read the verse. Or everything is easier: instead of tickets, guests must present a dish that prepared for the holiday and brought with them (or drink). The party script is required, here is its approximate points:
- Packaging games (at least "crocodile");
- View on the big screen of common photos;
- guitar songs;
- contests;
- Presenting young gifts to all men (they can be symbolic, comic).
Any home party may not be just cheerful, but also marked with some good business.
For example, All the audience can be suggested to slip up a small amount of veterans or Afghan soldiers. Today, many sites collect money to those who need them inseparable. And in such a holiday such a symbolic and kind gesture will be more than appropriate.
Race on quadrocyclach
Quad bike rentals are in any big city. If the weather allows, and in the azarity of men there is no doubt, women can prepare them such a surprise. Yet again, It is important not to forget to shoot these adventures on the video. And then throw off the photo and video into the common chat or place photos with memorable postcards and sent by mail - it looks nostalgically and very cute.
Game in darts
"Festive tournament players in Darts" - so you can officially call the event, even release the poster in His honor, make invitation for all participants. Think clear the clear regulations of the game, appoint the jury and decide what the main trophy will be. They can be an expensive champagne or some other gift. Do, make a holiday no less interesting than spending it and enjoy the result.
Celebration in the office
Such holidays, as a rule, are celebrated in the team - someone modestly: in small souvenirs and oral congratulations, someone suggests gatherings with tea, a cake (or something else). Conduct a holiday at work with colleagues as follows:
- Name cards on the desktop (and on the desktop of the computer, if possible, also);
- Festive lottery - Men are asked thematic questions, every guess calls the lot number and takes out a gift that under it is hidden;
- buffet and presentation of the invited artist;
- tea drinking under the viewing of a corporate film dedicated to men of this organization;
- Festive pinboard - on a large stand / working board hanging photos of men with notes attached to them about them;
- Invited artist (you can - a cartoonist), he is invited to the office and during the day draws men's men.
The question with gifts should be thought out so that they do not seem formal. If it is decided that it will be a cash premium, then it can be fun to beat it. For example, to invite an artist, a dressed gypsy to the office, which will read all the predictions (necessarily optimistic, funny, with humor) and predicts that during the day the head of the pen will "gild."
It all depends, of course, from the organization, the directions of its work. Somewhere the best gift will be certificates in the gym, and somewhere - certificates in the bookstore. In creative teams, an excellent gift to the employee is a decorated art beech (or blanks for it). Old good traditions with wall newsnets today look vintage and even romantic, so they do not need to hurry from them. And congratulations on the speakerphone always raises the mood.
Employees working on the distance can be ordered by courier delivery of gifts or delicious surprises. And at Mail be sure to send a nominal congratulatory letter. The attention is valuable, if the holiday is visible in the holiday and the sincere efforts of the organizers are visible, it is a big plus for the collective cohesion. Finally, it is just very human.
