Say if you had an anniversary on the 20th and your girlfriend's birthday was on the 21st, would you combine the celebration to these events and go out to a fancy place once? Or would you do it two separate times? What if your girlfriend asked you that she wanted you to take them out twice since it's two separate events?

I'd make it two separate, and understated, events unless I wanted to do something more lavish and then they'd get combined. Might go out to dinner (not "fancy") for one, cook her favorite meal for the other.

I always try to recognize events separately. My dad's birthday was right after Christmas and I always made the effort to have specific birthday presents, and celebrate similarly to my mom's birthday that was nowhere near Christmas.

Well. if she requested to do it separately, I would definitely do that.

IF there are 2 major events that close together and money is not a factor then assign a floating holiday to "celebrate" the other one on. If you celebrated without eating then I could do it back to back but if the celebration involves eating rich heavy foods I have to spread that out otherwise I end up sick. If you could ever get a women to buy this, it might be fun to have one day a quarter that you go out just because, all spread out equidistant in time so that your not drinking and eating a crap ton within one week then not doing anything for like 6 months.

I agree with you.

I would not want to celebrate with food and/or going out to eat on back-to-back nights.
Maybe go to dinner one night and do something active on the other?
