Never understood this... Anniversary = annual = yearly... I would bet a woman came up with the monthly 'anniversary' to attempt to embed the date in the man's head.

For me and my boyfriend: on the 3 month, I just mentioned it. The 6 month we reflected a little bit. And the year we actually celebrated. We're only aprx. 1.5 years in but the only ones that we'll celebrate from now on are the years. I hate girls that want to celebrate every month and do something special on the month-a-versarie. Even on our year all I asked my boyfriend for was to share a bottle of wine and watch a movie together. It was romantic and cheap.

I think people in relationships like having "anniveraries" at month stages because the relationship can reach certain milestones before the year is up. My ex and I celebrated 1 month, 3 months and 6 months. We didn't actually make it to a year in the end...terrible things went down...anyway, because at each one we had reached a milestone - after 1 month the two of us felt very sure of our relationship that it would be a good one, 3 months was even more secure and we were even talking plans for moving in later, 6 months was after we'd moved in (those plans came forward too soon), and after that it disintegrated - we were too hasty to move in, and we had a complex living arrangment with another friend...it got ugly. Sigh

I don't think it's ridiculous, I think it's a way for couples to show some more appreciation for just being together. 2 months, 4 months, etc. can be big milestones in certain relationships. Just because it's not something you want to celebrate, doesn't mean it doesn't mean a lot to the people who do.
