Celebrating a Wedding Anniversary
Celebrate your love for one another and look forward to more happy years.
Steps:
- Plan with your spouse about gifts, will it be a surprise or do you both want to share the experience of gift hunting together? Consider looking up the traditional gift for your anniversary year and buying something that relates; if you decide to buy something as a couple, exchange small items like cards or flowers.
- Plan a quiet evening or a weekend of getaway together. Many couples like to observe their anniversary in a exclusive, intimate manner, especially early anniversaries. 3. set a small party for your closer family and friends, if desired. If you decide to have a get-together, begin by inviting the bridal party from the wedding.
- Plan a large party if celebrating a landmark anniversary, such as the 10th, 25th or 50th. Again, begin by inviting members of the wedding parties.
- Consider reaffirming your wedding vows if you'd like to recreate your wedding, or have the large wedding you never had.
Tips: Couples generally prefer that guests not bring gifts to anniversary parties. Politely include this request on a small slip of paper in the invitation rather than printing it on the invitation itself.
If you have a friend or loved one whose spouse has passed away, consider observing their anniversary by taking him or her out to dinner or sending a modest floral arrangement with an appropriate note of affection. Avoid mentioning the deceased spouse or the anniversary, and don't send an anniversary card to a widow or widower.
Set an e-mail reminder or devise some other manner to keep you from forgetting your anniversary. Keep in mind that these are simply guidelines. Celebrate and enjoy your anniversary any way you want.
Warnings: Don't expect your friends and family to remember your anniversary. In fact, it may be better if they don't.
