When guests come to you, congratulate, give gifts, pronounce kind words and wishes, this is certainly very nice. The rules of etiquette indicate that invited friends and relatives should also enjoy the holiday. That is why the celebration must be answered by the hero of the day to guests. If your anniversary is approaching, and you are preparing to accept congratulations, then our article is just for you, it will tell you how to accept gifts and thank guests.
Poems are a way to convey feelings
An anniversary is a wonderful occasion to bring together everyone you want to see. This date is not only a summary of the years lived, but also a point of a new reference. The triumph should develop according to its plan. It has a place for everything: song, dancing, jokes, toasts, congratulations and gifts. The highlight of the holiday should be the response of the hero of the day. Poems can help to clearly express your emotions and wishes, by rhythm and emotional fulfillment they will definitely attract the attention of all those gathered, and having sounded from the mouth of the hero of the occasion, they will reach the hearts of each of the guests. We bring to your attention such a poetic fragment:
I am so pleased this evening
Here to spend with friends.
And everyone, of course, understands
That I am happier than all people.
Around me beloved faces:
Friends, colleagues and relatives.
I guess it’s only a dream
So pinch me!
Everywhere the eyes of the native shine
Smiles lovely round dance,
With all the fun and walking
And now it's not the New Year.
Ah yes, today is the anniversary
Send me you to congratulate
I want now, as I can,
Answer words to say.
Thank you, dear guests,
Because you came here
What congratulations are
Today they found for me.
I won’t forget about this day
It will take a long time to remember.
Here on the table are drinks, dishes,
I am pleased to treat you.
Move the plates closer
And the tidbit
Put in them. What do I see?
Is the glasses empty? Just a shock!
I’ll ask you to fill, guests,
Drink a strong bowl of you.
And all the problems you drop
Today, here and at this hour.
I invite you to raise glasses
I ask you to have a drink
And I proclaim this toast
For you, for dear guests!
If not poetry, then prose
A poetic performance is suitable for bright creative natures with artistry and expressive speech. If the verses are not suitable for your case, then the answer of the hero of the day in prose may well be pronounced. You can pick up the words yourself, expressing everything that is in your heart. But at such an exciting moment, experiences can spoil speech. The necessary words suddenly disappeared somewhere, but all that I wanted to say was forgotten. This is peculiar to a person in a state of emotional peak, so it is better to prepare phrases in advance. We offer you several options to choose from.
Friends - help on the journey of life
Dear my guests! I went to this day for many years, and now it has arrived. Today I am standing here and I cannot believe that this is the fiftieth anniversary (or another date)! You said so many warm words and wishes to me today, and now it is time to pronounce the return words of the hero of the day to the guests. My life path was not simple and even, there were bumps and meanders on it. He fell and got up again, took off and fell again, but those close to me always helped to get up - my close people. I want to tell my friends (here you can contact everyone by name) how much I love you and appreciate the fact that you are always there in a joyful and sad moment. Even if we rarely see each other, I know that there are such people whom I can call at any time of the day or night and hear in response: “I’ll come now.” This confidence gives me strength, inspires me to further things. And it’s so good that there are holidays, when we can all get together like this at the holiday table and chat about this and that. We often do not tell those who are dear about our love. And do not talk about it at all, but we know and feel each other. I want to drink now for all my friends who came today to share the joy of a solemn event, to mark another milestone on my life's journey. And I ask all of you to support my toast. For friendship! And for friends who are always ready to help.
The response words of the hero of the day to guests may contain specific appeals to his wife or husband, to children, to parents. We give examples of such statements.
To the dearest person
I want to appeal to the dearest person, my soul mate. Thank you for your love, tenderness and care. When you're around, I succeed. New successes, accomplishments and achievements are your merit. I can live, work, create, because I know that a reliable rear is waiting for me at home. There is a person who always listens to any of my nonsense, understands and even advises something. Thank you for being around! I love you very much and every day I thank heaven for what you are! Without you, today's holiday would not have taken place. Words of gratitude to the hero of the day are now sent only in your honor! I want to ask you all, dear guests, to drink with me for my dear person, for my soul mate, for the love of my whole life!
Those who gave life
My dear guests, I am sincerely glad to see you all! And first of all I want to say thanks to those people who gave me life. Dear Mom and Dad! Thank you for raising and educating me. If it weren’t for my mother who had given birth to me fifty (another date) years ago, today's wonderful banquet simply would not have taken place. You were always with me, supporting and helping me, no matter what happened. I want to utter the kindest words that would convey the whole depth of my feelings and the whole magnitude of my gratitude, but I am afraid that I will not be able to pick them up, and therefore let me hug you and kiss you tightly (followed by touching kisses and hugs). Dear Parents! All that I have learned in this life, I owe you. Live long, be healthy and happy, and I will try to help you and less upset! Dear guests, today is the anniversary day of my birthday, and for my health you have drained more than one glass, and now I ask you to raise the bowls in honor of my dear and beloved dad and mom!
Enjoy the holiday yourself and delight your guests
