Brother’s Day was created by C. Daniel Rhodes of Hoover, Alabama to celebrate the family – specifically, brothers. Celebrated annually, it’s a great day to let your brother know how much he means to you.
The bond between brothers is so strong and such a significant part of many people’s lives that it has inspired hundreds of books, films, paintings, poetry, and plays.
How many famous brothers can you think of? What about the Brother’s Grimm, famous for their stories? Or the Wright brothers, who pioneered the first airplanes?
Liam and Noel Gallagher of Oasis are brothers. Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb made up the Bee Gees. The Jackson 5 were all brothers – can you name any more?
There’s no doubt that sometimes brothers don’t get the fame and fortune that the above do – but this day is about making sure that your brother knows that you still think the world of him, even if you don’t always get along!
Catch Up with Your Bro
Whether they’re actual siblings, or someone you share a brotherly bond with, it’s time to get in touch with your brother or brothers and spend some time with them! Have a few brothers? Get together and go for a quick pint at the pub, or go catch a film together. Just the one brother? Give him a call and catch up, or pay each other a visit. Or maybe just irritate him a bit by texting him lots of GIFs, whichever you feel like. Invite your brother out for dinner – or a pint! We all live such busy lives that we tend to forget to take a minute out of days to catch up with the people close to us.
Share with the World
Make sure you use the hashtag when you share on social media, and maybe you can include some of the stories you have about your brother growing up just to embarrass him!
Try Sibling Trivia
Siblings’ trivia is always in the cards! If you have organized a family gathering, spice it up with some questions about your youth! You can find fun cheat sheets on the internet if you are not up for spending hours coming up with the questionnaire. Involve the parents for an even more entertaining evening!
Strengthen Brotherly Bonds
In the past years, you and your brothers might have moved into separate locations and meet up only during main family gatherings. However, this is the best occasion to strengthen that bond, find out how your brother is doing, and remember past events! In case neither you or he can spare an evening (hectic lives!), opt for a phone call. Female siblings are better-known to love hours-long chat, while brothers might be content with a bare “what’s up.” However, secretly, they will likely appreciate a phone call and a chat!
Gifts for Brothers
If you are dealing with the most reserved of brothers, send him a bottle of wine or whiskey. Nothing better than a glass to enjoy by yourself while watching your favorite film after a hard day at work. And, they will be thinking of you – guaranteed!
Celebrate Relationships
This day is an unmissable occasion to celebrate somebody you consider a brother as well, even if you are not directly related. Moreover, if your sibling is no longer with you, you could use this event to remember the happy time you had spent together with your parents, friends, and other siblings. Whatever you get up to on Brother’s Day, make sure you take some time out for your family.
Reflect on Brother Relationships
The bond between siblings is naturally very strong. Growing up together, getting into trouble, playing games together, the competitiveness between you. Perhaps you have just one brother, perhaps you have lots – today, it’s time to reflect on the ways in which your sibling has enriched your life.
