What Is a Monthsary?
“Monthsary” is a Filipino English word for a monthly anniversary. Couples use it, and so do parents of babies: each month on the baby’s birth date, the family marks the milestone. After the 11th monthsary comes the big one, the first birthday. Outside the Philippines you may hear “month-iversary” or simply “happy 3 months”.
