NATIONAL MATCHMAKER DAY | AUGUST 31
On August 31st, National Matchmaker Day honors romantics whose dauntless pursuit of perfect purchase for cupid’s arrow results in lasting love stories.
#NationalMatchmakerDay
Playing matchmaker requires a bit of social savvy. It also requires the ability to listen and timing. They know each friends’ habits (good and bad), passions, and hobbies. When there is a spark, even when the prospective couple is painfully unaware, the matchmaker knows.
While a matchmaker isn’t always successful, her (or his) heart is certainly in the right place! It is all about love, after all. Even the success stories can be quite entertaining. And National Matchmaker Day celebrates them all. Awkward blind dates. Miscommunications. And yes, even the complete mismatches. The celebration raises a toast to the people who bring lovers together.
HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL MATCHMAKER DAY
Honor those special matchmakers who work to bring couples together. Some of the best ways to celebrate the day include:
- Send your matchmaker a thank you note.
