Celebrate Gorgeous Grandma Day: July 23

Gorgeous Grandma Day, celebrated every July 23, is all about honoring the vibrant, wise, and fabulous women who prove that age is just a number!

The holiday was created in 1984 by Alice Solomon, who graduated from Wellesley College at age 50 and realized society too often labels older women as “senior citizens”—as if their best days were behind them. She added a little flair by adding the word “gorgeous” to “grandma,” and a movement was born.

Fun Ways to Celebrate:

• Take her out to lunch at her favorite restaurant
• Have a sunny picnic in the park
• Plan a ladies’ spa day with manicures and pedicures
• Grab ice cream cones together and share stories
• Call, text, or video chat if distance keeps you apart

Whether she’s your grandmother, great-aunt, or a beloved neighbor who’s always looked out for you, Gorgeous Grandma Day is the perfect opportunity to show her how much she’s loved and appreciated. Every “grandma” deserves to feel gorgeous today and every day.
