Over time, romance fades into the background, and the married couple plunges into everyday problems, raising children, and financial issues. A wedding anniversary is an excellent occasion to remember how your family was born, how much love and tenderness you gave each other. There are many ways to celebrate the holiday: in a romantic setting, on another continent, with friends and family. Choose any option and please each other with pleasant moments that will be so pleasant to remember later.
Festive evening with friends
Often married couples invite friends and relatives to their anniversary. Where can you have a festive evening:
- at home, at the big table;
- in a restaurant or cafe;
- outside the city (at the dacha, for example);
- Outdoors.
If you want to gather your loved ones at home, you will have to prepare in advance for a grand holiday. Make a guest list, discuss the menu, come up with an entertainment program. It is much easier to book a table at a restaurant and invite friends. If you like noisy fun, choose a place with live music or karaoke. For those who prefer an intimate setting, it is better to consider the option of a cozy cafe with home cooking.
It would be a good idea to go out of town to celebrate the holiday .
There, quarantine is not a hindrance. With a cheerful group you can barbecue, sing songs with a guitar, remember your childhood and frolic in nature. If the weather doesn’t allow it, and you don’t want to stay in the city, you can organize an evening in a country house. Even if you don’t have your own dacha, you can rent a house on the banks of the river, where you can sit comfortably near the fireplace with friends.
How to celebrate your first year together?
It is better to start preparing for the celebration in advance. If you are not planning a surprise for your loved one, discuss with your boyfriend how to celebrate the year of your relationship, and together find the optimal scenario. Decide how much time both of you can devote to the holiday: evening or whole day. Discuss how the event will be held: for some young people, time together is valuable, for other lovers they will want a noisy get-together with friends.
Full day options
There is no ready-made and universal scenario for how to celebrate the anniversary of a 1-year relationship, so you will have to choose from the options offered:
- Cooking together brings couples together incredibly. Try setting the table yourself and inviting guests for the evening - friends or family.
- If finances allow, go for a spa treatment together. A relaxing atmosphere will immerse you in languid bliss and relieve accumulated stress.
- Many lovers arrange a love story-style photo shoot for their first anniversary. A neat photo book is made from the filming material, where the couple is forever captured as young, tender and bright.
- The ideal option is a romantic one-day trip to a recreation center or a nearby ancient city. The time spent together will be remembered for a long time.
If your anniversary falls on a weekend, you can simply spend time at home together, without getting out of bed. Stock up on some goodies, think about what movies you can watch, and enjoy your vacation.
Option with guests
A couple who is used to being the center of attention and always shares their joy with loved ones will prefer the option of celebrating with guests. In the warm season, you can have a picnic, and in cold weather, book a cottage, a house at a recreation center, or invite friends home by organizing a themed party. You can ask guests to wear carnival costumes for the holiday, and then after the event you will have original and bright photos.
For active youth, relaxation at organized sites is suitable: invite your friends to airsoft or laser tag, and after the “war”, feed them barbecue or aromatic pilaf.
Celebrating in private
A first anniversary falling on a weekday is not a reason to postpone or cancel the celebration. In addition to the standard “wine-sushi-movie-bed” scenario, lovers spend an important evening:
- at the cinema;
- in a restaurant;
- at the concert;
- in sauna.
Think about what both of you in the couple have always liked. Do you like to sing karaoke, but haven’t visited such establishments for a long time? Go ahead - book a table and serenade each other.
Remembering the wedding day
A married couple usually likes to relive memories by looking at wedding photos and videos. Why not arrange a repeat of the magnificent holiday, which the newlyweds and guests will remember for a long time?
This option is also suitable for those couples who, for some reason, simply got married without a celebration. You can gather guests in a restaurant, invite a host, wear beautiful outfits. Perhaps you once wanted to have a wedding on the ocean shore, but for financial reasons you simply signed at the registry office. In this case, go to warm countries and repeat the wedding ceremony there, as you dreamed of before.
Camping
What's the most important thing about an anniversary? Memories, privacy and tranquility. And what place is best for this? Perhaps a country cottage.
Look, this joint vacation will help you get closer, remember interesting moments from your life, relax and have sex to your heart's content. What's not the best idea for celebrating an anniversary? It is not so important whether it will be your first anniversary of the relationship or the tenth.
Now there are many country complexes for every taste: houses in the forest, where you will not see a soul around, hotels with 5 stars, where everything is included except a blowjob, but it will come with you. You can sign up for an exciting program if you are a fan of, for example, yoga. So why not go to some kind of “yoga camp for adults”?
It all depends only on your imagination and financial capabilities. And choose ideas based on your hobbies.
Romantic photo shoot
Family photographs are the greatest value, because they capture the best moments of life together. You probably have a large collection of photographs that you will be happy to show to your children and grandchildren. Arrange a romantic photo shoot for your anniversary, which can be done in a professional studio, outdoors, on the street, at home. Invite a photographer, come up with a story, choose appropriate outfits, and apply beautiful makeup. On this day you should look perfect! You can even wear a wedding dress and have a themed photo shoot.
Perhaps this will become a good tradition: every year you will be photographed together, and in old age you will review the annual holiday photographs with your grandchildren.
Role-playing games
The anniversary of a relationship is a great reason to try or get high from role-playing games again. Come up with a plot after which you can spend a luxurious night at home or in a hotel.
It could be:
- sex after the first date;
- a businessman and a random girl from a bar;
- businessman and prostitute;
- business lady and gigolo.
Any game that excites both of you will do. The most important thing is that both you and your partner are able to transform and get used to the roles. Then you will remember this anniversary for a long time.
My advice: start the game outside the apartment, or better yet, move all the action to the hotel. Then you will have a fuller sense that you are not you. Trust me, the main inspirer of AKLONI. When everything is unusual, it is much easier for anyone to get used to the role.
Romantic evening
A classic way to celebrate your wedding anniversary together. Prepare a light dinner, light scented candles, and turn on relaxing music. Surprise your spouse with a private dance, soak in a bubble bath together. Unfortunately, romance is sorely lacking in the daily routine, and it is so important to arrange holidays just for yourself. If you have children, arrange with grandmothers or a nanny to sit with them in the evening and put them to bed.
Sometimes parents need to be alone, take a break from everyday problems and enjoy each other.
How to celebrate a wedding anniversary together
It is customary to celebrate the first, fifth, tenth, silver and golden wedding anniversaries in a noisy company. As a rule, the family prefers to celebrate all other dates together, sometimes with a child who by that time already appears in the family.
Romantic trip
A trip together is an opportunity to take a break from everyday problems and plunge into romance. If you couldn’t arrange a honeymoon after the wedding, you can go on a romantic trip together on your anniversary. Choose any place where you will have an interesting and pleasant time: amazing Paris, cozy Prague, majestic Rome. Often couples prefer to fly to warmer climes for a week and celebrate their family’s birthday on the seashore or ocean. If finances do not allow you to purchase expensive trips, you can go out of town for a weekend, rent a hotel room and spend time together.
Calico wedding: signs and traditions
At one time, the ancestors compiled a kind of list of wedding anniversaries and their names, based on their own observations. Each name has a special meaning, and certain signs and customs are associated with anniversaries. And our 1st wedding anniversary was no exception. What do the great-grandfathers warn about?
- If a couple woke up at the same time on this day, then they should expect an addition to the family.
- On the anniversary day, it is not recommended to allow anyone into the house. It is believed that the appearance of a stranger can awaken the infidelity of the spouse (if a man comes) or the spouse (if a woman appears).
- Those who decide to celebrate the date with loved ones should pay attention to who comes first, a man or a woman. The ancestors believed that the appearance of a man promised the couple financial independence, but if a woman came first, then they should expect a baby.
- A calico wedding anniversary will help you understand how strong the relationship in a couple is. So, if the day passes calmly, without quarrels, then further life will proceed in mutual understanding and respect. But if disputes cannot be avoided, then you should be wary - the relationship is still too fragile and requires mutual “working on mistakes.”
- On the first wedding anniversary, according to legend, it is better to choose a shirt as a gift from your wife. The ancestors believed that this promised the couple mutual fidelity and sincere feelings in their future marriage.
- You cannot give pants or socks. Many people still believe that such gifts can lead to separation.
If we talk about rituals, then this one has survived to this day: spouses buy a cotton handkerchief in advance; on the day of the holiday, they take it by opposite corners diagonally and stand opposite each other. Next, everyone, on his part, ties a knot, saying three times: “I tie a knot, I bring my destiny. I bring them into the house, close them off from paths, and keep them for myself. Just as a knot is tied, so are we tied together! To be together is to love each other!” Afterwards, the scarf must be hidden in a secluded place and not told to anyone about the ceremony.
Unforgettable impressions
For fans of extreme sports, the following options are suitable:
- hot air balloon ride;
- joint parachute jump;
- diving activities;
- visit to the rope park;
- paintball party;
- off-road jeep ride;
- karting center;
- horse riding, etc.
Romantic meeting
You probably forgot how you spent a lot of time in front of the mirror, preparing for a date with your future husband? How did you look for the most beautiful flowers when you went to meet your future wife? It's time to remember those exciting moments when you first started dating. What can you think of for your anniversary:
- romantic dinner in an exotic restaurant;
- walk through the evening city;
- visit to the SPA center;
- skating;
- a trip in a rented convertible;
- visiting an amusement park, water park and much more.
Have a real romantic date, just like it was in the first days of dating. Choose a beautiful outfit, apply makeup, do your hair. Agree to meet in the place where your date usually began: in the park, near your house, in a cafe, in a university hall. Don't discuss family matters, forget about your problems and enjoy the memories of how in love and happy you were.
Confession under the windows
This way of expressing your feelings is no longer original, however, if nothing else has been thought of, then you can take note of it. It is more suitable for very young people, but they are used to it. If you are in adulthood, then your other half will most likely be very surprised. Everything is very simple here: some kind of romantic confession is written with paints on the wall or on the road under the beloved’s window. The next morning she looks out the window, sees him and rejoices.
- Pros . Cheap, romantic and exciting. After all, the police can easily pick you up while you write your opus. Or your girlfriend’s neighbors will throw eggs from their windows. In general, if everything works out, know that you have accomplished a small feat.
- Cons: The walls of houses in our country are rarely painted, and the asphalt is renewed even less often. Therefore, most likely, your recognition will decorate the yard for many years. And perhaps a moment will come when it will become irrelevant. It won't be easy to get rid of him.
Theme party
If you want an unusual holiday with friends, throw a themed party, for example, in the retro style of the 80s. Warn guests about the dress code in advance, print or draw invitation cards. Hang a mirror ball above the ceiling, which was popular in discos back in the day. Decorate your room with themed posters and 80s memorabilia. As for the treat, remember the most popular dishes of those years: sandwiches with sprats, Olivier salad, vinaigrette, aspic, Kievsky or Skazka cake. As for drinks, you can put “Soviet” champagne, sweet liqueurs, and port on the table. Don't forget about competitions and entertainment that will amuse your guests. For example, you can arrange a game “Guess the melody”, play forfeits, or organize a fashion show. And, of course, the party should have a disco with 80s music.
How to celebrate a wedding anniversary with your family
There are families who love to gather around the festive table for any occasion. Of course, it is impossible for them to miss such an occasion, so the question of how and where to celebrate any wedding anniversary is not an issue for them. The answer is already clear, of course, in the family circle. Such a celebration will depend more on family traditions and habits. Of course, you need to make sure that no one at the table gets bored. To do this, you can organize various competitions, play forfeits, or, on the contrary, sit down your loved ones with some board games.
But it’s not necessary to have family gatherings at home. The holiday can also be organized on neutral territory. Naturally, the most trouble-free option is to order a banquet in a restaurant. Now every second establishment offers a varied banquet menu. Of course, it is advisable not to turn such a good holiday into a banal drinking session, but to organize a light, varied table with a moderate amount of alcoholic beverages. But live music is just what will brighten up any wedding anniversary. Moreover, a light background of pleasant classical music or jazz compositions will create an simply indescribable atmosphere of luxury and romance.
To celebrate your wedding anniversary with your family on a more budget-friendly basis, you can have a picnic outdoors or at the dacha.
Very rarely, young people and their parents decide to go on vacation to celebrate their anniversary. The choice of location depends solely on financial capabilities.
Family holiday with children
If you want to celebrate your anniversary with your child, go to a place where all family members will be interested: an amusement park, a pizzeria, organize a trip to an agricultural estate, etc.
Every adult dreams of plunging back into childhood, so happily eat ice cream, cakes, jump on trampolines, and go on rides.
No matter how many years you've been together, make your wedding anniversary a memorable one.
There should always be a place for romance in life, so enjoy each other and please with your boundless love. leave a comment
Hike
There comes a time when men have the question: “How to celebrate the anniversary of a relationship if there is no money?” Not noting is not an option, but there is nothing to invest.
Alternatively, go hiking. Cheap and interesting. It’s especially cool if you’re a couple of extreme sports enthusiasts who prefer active recreation to sitting on the couch.
This could be a one-day event or an entire weekend. The main thing is that you really have to look into this, because safety comes first!
If you are a couple of lovers who have never been in the forest, then it is best to walk along the edge during the day. Seriously, it’s very easy to get lost if you don’t know the way. So there’s no point in pretending to be a fucking tracker.
