Essential Parts of a Calendar

Thinking of designing your own calendar? Make sure that you have these essential parts in your design:

• Month and Year – Where the name of the month and year are displayed (usually at the top of each page).


• Weekdays – These are the days of the week (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, etc.) that are displayed at the top of each column in the date grid.


• Holidays and Special Dates – Shows important holidays, observances, historical events, or other events related to your business. You can emphasize these by using a different font color, unique stickers, shapes, or symbols.
