March 8 is International Women's Day, which was established in 1908 as a result of 15,000 women's rights demonstrations in New York.

This day gives us the opportunity to honor all women in the modern era while keeping up the fight for equal rights. While it's important to honor women on this day, we also think that every day should be spent honoring yourself and giving other women in your life more power.

1. Treat Yourself First

The adage "You can only fill someone else's glass if your own is full" is well known. Because of this, we believe it's critical that you take care of yourself on International Women's Day and, well, every day.

However, it is crucial to affirm and elevate yourself, particularly on this momentous occasion. Women tend to be overly critical of themselves and downplay their accomplishments. So let's make a fresh start! We believe that now is a fantastic time to start indulging yourself in your preferred meal, some uninterrupted reading time, or a spa day

. On your day of self-care, consider dining at a restaurant or spa run by women if you want to empower even more women. Supporting female company owners and entrepreneurs is crucial on a daily basis, but it's especially crucial on International Women's Day.

2. On Social

#ChooseToChallenge is the official International Women's Day theme for this year. It's a call to action to upend the status quo by promoting equality, honoring women's accomplishments, and increasing awareness of bias.

This year, join the #ChooseToChallenge social media campaign to demonstrate your commitment to combating inequality as a small but meaningful way to celebrate International Women's Day. Post a picture of yourself raising your hand in the air on your favorite social media platform(s) and tag it with #IWD2024 and #ChooseToChallenge.

To involve your entire team, you can even use these fantastic templates to make personalized co-branded social media cards.

3. Virtual/Online Celebration

Since it is against the law to gather in big groups, observing Women's Day virtually is a wonderful idea. Why not set up a video conference with a few of your girlfriends to share a virtual breakfast, lunch, or dinner?

In order to express your gratitude to the women in your life, you can also hold virtual celebrations or virtual get-togethers to talk about issues that impact you as women. If you do not identify as a woman.

4. Support Brands That Lift Up Women

As previously stated, it's critical to invest in causes you genuinely care about and support, such as powerful, female-led brands or women-owned enterprises. There are many brands that cater to specific niches, such as boutique apparel, beauty products, or tech gadgets. By supporting women-owned businesses and companies, you are truly supporting other women as well as yourself. Women-owned businesses and companies exist to improve the lives of women everywhere. It benefits both parties!

5. Virtual Party

Even though we think it's great to empower people outside of your own social circle, it's likely that the women in your own social circle also need you. Plan a fun, virtual, or in-person event where you all celebrate and support one another, then get together with your girl gang. You can exchange gifts or engage in virtual gaming. In any case, the focus should be entirely on the women and ensuring that everyone is encouraged and heard!

6. Honor the Women in Your Life

Maybe you should organize a celebration for the women in your life, especially if you're the kind that likes to give thoughtful gifts. A call, a handwritten card, or a thoughtful gift on International Women's Day will undoubtedly make someone's day, whether it be your mother, grandmother, guardian, teacher, or friend.

7. Sending Best Wishes, Quotes and More

Nothing quite compares to the traditional expression of gratitude. A business's IWD celebration can be set in motion with ease by sending out a "thank you" note. Since we live in a digital age, this need not only take the form of a physical card; it can also take the form of a shareable social media card, a well-written email, or a shout-out.

There are many websites and services that offer simple templates that can be printed out or shared via email, even if you don't have much time to create such a card.
