A Celebration to Remember
First you want to assess the theme or mood for this anniversary celebration. Do you want this celebration to be just the two of you or do you want to includefriends and family. Do you want the celebration to be romantic, classy, fun, oran adventure? How long you have been married may influence your choice and you may want to look at building a theme or celebration idea around the "traditional gift" for the number of years married. Whatever you domake it memorable.
For example the 3rd anniversary's traditional gift is leather. You could buyleather chaps and go on a horseback riding adventure either for an hr, daytrip, or even overnight. Or take off on a motorcycle ride along the beach orthrough the mountains. Find a nice hotel or bed and breakfast to spend thenight.
If you are traveling, go to Venice, Italy and take a romantic gondolier ridethrough the canals. Go to Paris, the city of love. Go to a tropical get away atan all-inclusive resort. Spice things up and go to an adults only or nude beachresort. Head off to Vegas, take a cruise, or go skiing in Colorado.
If closer to home is more your style, rent a suite at a nice hotel for the nightor weekend. Enjoy a nice dinning experience, maybe even a theater show withdinner. If you have children, send them away for the weekend and spend it athome alone. Order in, watch movies, and take advantage of being alone. Share abubble bath, swap back massages, break out the candles, oil, soft music, andother novelty items.
If you want this to be a celebration with friends and family, have everyone overfor a cookout, rent the party room at a nice restaurant, go dancing, orkaraoke. Rent the same venue you did for your wedding reception and re live it(maybe you will remember it better this time), or have the video from thewedding playing in the back ground and do spoofs on various parts. Take a jointanniversary vacation with friends whose anniversaries are close to yours. Forexample, if you both were married in March, you could take a trip to Irelandfor St. Patty’s day together.
No matter your style or budget you can create an unforgettable anniversarycelebration. Give yourself plenty of time, consider your partner and what wouldbe most enjoyable for both of you, start planning and saving, then savor everymoment.
