Anniversary

Happy AnniversaryEven though your wedding was many years ago, the celebration still continues today, right? Your toast of all the years of good times and bad, better and worse, richer and poorer should allow you to relish the work it took to get you where you are today. (And sometimes it's a lot of work!) Your anniversary is a time to cherish each and every moment along the way, the happy ones and even the not-so-perfect ones.

Being a married couple means being part of a team, a very important team. It's a support system, a family, a well-oiled machine that gives way to love, happiness and wonderful memories. Your wedding anniversary is a symbol of another year stronger, wiser and closer; a symbol of a bond that will never be broken; a symbol of the most important commitment of your adult life.

Perhaps Paul Sweeney said it best: "A wedding anniversary is the celebration of love, trust, partnership, tolerance and tenacity. The order varies for any given year."

You've made it this far, so Happy Anniversary to you!

Traditional Anniversary Gifts

  • Traditional Anniversary GiftsPractically anything can be a good anniversary gift as long as it's thoughtful, from the heart, and paired with a sentimental and loving, personalized anniversary card. Some couples take romantic anniversary trips, some couples go for a super-fancy dinner date at a cozy, high-end restaurant, some couples exchange anniversary gifts based on a pre-set dollar amount, and yet others prefer to make a dreamy anniversary dinner for two at home by themselves, accented by candlelight and champagne.

    Some traditions call for certain types of anniversary gifts, however, which usually depend on how many years you've been married. Some of the most common anniversary gift ideas based on tradition are:

    • 1st anniversary: the traditional anniversary gift is paper; the modern version is clocks.
    • 5th anniversary: the traditional anniversary gift is wood; the modern version is silverware.
    • 10th anniversary: the traditional anniversary gift is tin or aluminum; the modern version is diamonds.
    • 15th anniversary: the traditional anniversary gift is crystal; the modern version is watches.
    • 20th anniversary: the traditional anniversary gift is china; the modern take is anything platinum.
    • 25th anniversary: the traditional and modern gifts are both anything made of silver.
    • 50th anniversary: the traditional and modern gifts are both anything made of gold.

Anniversary Flowers

  • Anniversary FlowersEveryone knows that there is a specific flower associated with every anniversary, a symbol of every year you are married.

Probably most (you lucky ones)!

    Whether given as a gift, used as a party decoration or centerpiece, or bought together and displayed as a symbol of love in a simple vase, the anniversary flower is a beautiful reminder of a couple's love for each other and lust for their life together.

    The anniversary flower idea is a long heralded tradition. Here is a list of the traditional anniversary flowers for each year you're together:

Anniversary Ideas

  • Anniversary IdeasLooking for some romantic and/or fun anniversary ideas? Whether it's the first or the 50th, it's a big occasion and a huge cause for celebration, so you want to do it right. After all, your anniversary is the most perfect and appropriate time of year to show your spouse how much you love him/her. Of course, there's the traditional anniversary idea of a romantic, candlelit dinner, but let's go beyond that and venture into anniversary celebration-paradise.

    Here are some inventive anniversary ideas that will undoubtedly woo your spouse right into your arms:

    • Recreate the proposal: It's as simple as that. Go back to the place where you proposed and lavish your spouse with flowers, a romantic meal and even an anniversary ring or other piece of jewelry.
    • Revisit the location of your first date: Go back in time and visit the place where you had your first date. Try to eat the same food, listen to the same music, etc.
    • Take a helicopter tour of the city: This anniversary idea obviously might cost a little bit more than other date suggestions but it's totally worth it. Your spouse will be "flying high" after taking an air tour of the city.
    • Create a wine and cheese picnic in a favorite outdoor location: whether it's the backyard, a community park or a special nature preservation.
    • Take a weekend getaway: pack up on a Friday afternoon and head out to a special romantic bed and breakfast where the two of you can enjoy some quality alone time.
