Monthsary Messages for Your Boyfriend or Girlfriend

A monthsary is the monthly anniversary of the day you got together. It's especially popular in the Philippines and among young couples everywhere: every month, a small celebration, a sweet message and sometimes a little gift. It's a lovely habit, but by the fourth or fifth month, it gets harder to find something new to say.

Here are 30 monthsary messages for your boyfriend or girlfriend, grouped by milestone, plus ideas to keep the monthly tradition fresh.

What to write for a monthsary

Since it happens every month, the trick is to make each message about that month:

1. Count it. "Three months today."
2. Name one moment from this month. A date, a talk, a funny mistake.
3. Add a small promise or plan. "Movie night is on me."

Example: "Happy 4th monthsary! This was the month you met my family and survived my grandma's questions. You're officially stuck with me. Dinner's on me tonight."

First monthsary messages

• "Happy 1st monthsary! Here's to many more months, and hopefully many more years."

Ways to keep monthsaries special

• One photo a month. Take a picture together on every monthsary. By month twelve, you'll have a whole year in photos.
• Take turns planning. You plan the odd months, they plan the even ones.
• Keep it small. A handwritten note, their favorite snack or a short walk is enough. Save the big gifts for the anniversary.
• Write down one memory each month. At the first anniversary, give them the whole list.
