How to Celebrate a Wedding Anniversary
Celebrate your love for one another and look forward to more happy years.
Steps:
- Decide with your spouse whether you want to exchange gifts or buy something 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 tokens like cards or flowers.
- Plan a quiet evening or getaway together. Many couples like to observe their anniversary in a private, intimate manner, especially early anniversaries. 3. Arrange 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 method to keep you from forgetting your anniversary. Keep in mind that these are simply guidelines. Celebrate 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.
