How to Celebrate Your Anniversary

Instructions

  • Step 1:
    Determine how you want to celebrate your anniversary well in advance of the actual date. This is very important with a milestone anniversary especially. If you wish to celebrate just as a couple without a party and a bunch of people, make this clear to your family and friends so they don't plan a party for you.
  • Step 2:
    Make your reservations in advance. You don't want to risk having your well-thought-out anniversary celebration ruined by being unable to go to the hotel or restaurant you want because you waited too long to make your reservation.
  • Step 3:
    Choose an activity your spouse and you enjoy doing together. Your anniversary is a celebration of your love for each other and the time you've spent together. You don't have to do something just because it's a traditional way to celebrate an anniversary. If you want to bungee jump off a building and you both enjoy bungee jumping, by all means go ahead and do it.
  • Step 4:
    Reflect on your past activities when choosing where to celebrate your anniversary. If you have a favorite restaurant that holds sentimental meaning to the two of you, that can make a great anniversary celebration location. If you're planning an overnight trip, you might consider somewhere such as where you proposed, where you went on your first vacation together or where you went for your honeymoon.
  • Step 5:
    Relax on your anniversary. Don't schedule the anniversary so strictly that you have no time to enjoy each other's company because you're running from location to location, trying to stay on schedule.

Tips & Warnings

  • Anniversary celebrations don't have to be as complicated as some people make them. If your idea of a way to celebrate your anniversary is a quiet night at home, don't give in to the feeling that you have to go out.
  • If you don't want a surprise party, make this very clear to your friends and family. The last thing you want to do on your anniversary is attend a party with a bunch of people you'd rather not be around that night.
