10 Best Ways To Celebrate Wedding Anniversary
Time flies when you are sharing your life with your soul-mate. As years pass by, you just want to celebrate your love and relationship by giving it a new meaning and making it more memorable than last year. Instead of going out for dinner just like you go on Valentine’s Day or New Year Eve, you may want to give it more romantic touch.
Many times it is your tight budget that compels you to opt for a low key celebration. But making the occasion memorable and calling for a dreamy romantic celebration need not always cost a fortune.
You can be both romantic and financially smart by following these 10 best ways to celebrate wedding anniversary:
1. Make Plans Similar To Your First Date
The thoughts of first date will always give you goose bumps and bring a sweet smile on your face. Visit the same restaurant where you went on a date for the very first time with your spouse. Follow it with a romantic walk, stargazing or any other romantic activity that is similar to your first date. Recreate those moments as it will send you both down the memory lane, which will remind you of how beautiful your journey was until now.
2. Arrange For An Outdoor Photoshoot
List down all your favourite places around you, pack up your DSLR camera and enjoy a photoshoot in romantic locales. Visit places that hold a special place in your married life such as the place where you shared your first kiss or the church or garden where you got married. You can ask a close friend to accompany you and click some romantic shots for you. You can also make it a ritual to have short photo sessions every anniversary and maintain a dedicated album for it. This way you can get special memories recorded for cherishing in your old age.
3. Recreate Your Wedding Menu Together
Work together to list down recipes, go shopping for the ingredients and make cooking a fun couple activity. Try and make every item at dinner that was on the wedding menu. Cooking is an extremely challenging and fun activity besides being cheap and you get to spend quality time together. After enjoying all the food that you prepared with love and dedication, you can give a perfect end to the evening by watching your first movie together.
4. Go For An Adventure Trip
Dining out is quite conventional and hence, to make your wedding anniversary special, you can plan an adventure trip together. You can opt for hot balloon ride, paragliding, bungee jumping, sea diving, etc. Save for the occasion in advance and go for economical romantic getaway packages that quench your thirst for new adventure in life. Instead of choosing conventional trips, these adventure trips make such occasions truly worth it as they are filled with excitement, challenges and undying romance.
5. Create An Anniversary Special Mix CD
Celebrate wedding anniversary in a unique way by making a CD containing all the songs that were played at your wedding or the songs you both love. Plan a short trip to a nearby romantic isolated location and just relax and listen. Share with each other all the memories that are associated with those songs. Or just play the songs at home and enjoy your special anniversary dinner followed by a couple dance. You can even sing for your spouse to make the evening even more romantic.
6. Watch Your Wedding Video
Your wedding marks your love’s celebration and hence watching your wedding video will take you down the memory lane and will help rekindle the romance during the initial days after your wedding. You can also make a mash up of your wedding videos and honeymoon videos along with videos of other important days after your marriage such as new house inauguration, gender reveal before childbirth, child’s first birthday, etc.
7. Test Your Craft Skills
If you want to make something in a creative manner, you can both go for any hobby class such as glass painting, t-shirt painting, pottery, etc. and make personalised gifts for each other. Such kind of activity will not only give you both some fun time to spend together but will also give you the opportunity to let your gift reflect your love for each other.
8. Spend The Entire Day Together
Spending the whole day together would require full commitment to your partner for an entire day. You must take a day off from work, switch off your mobile phone, keep away from checking mails and just spend quality time with your spouse. Keep it simple and isolate your mind from the clutter of routine life.
9. Give Meaningful Gifts
There is a general set pattern when it comes to gifting for anniversary. Instead of gifting conventional items, you can think about things that your spouse is in need of. Not necessarily expensive but whatever you gift must showcase your thoughtfulness. Your gift must reflect that you understand your partner and you care for their needs.
10. Renew Your Wedding Vows
Create a wedding ambience at your home and read out your wedding vows to your spouse by looking in his or her eyes. Turn on the music and play the songs that were played at your wedding. To celebrate wedding anniversary with that perfect wedding feel, you can even try out your wedding dress. Listening your spouse say out those wedding vows with love in his or her eyes would give you dreamy anniversary feel.
