Good morning! Today we wanted to focus on the oh-so-amazing wedding anniversary. Maybe you are coming down to the wire or have a few months to spare but it never hurts to find new ways of being thoughtful! We have a simple formula anyone can use to up their game for their next wedding anniversary. This year instead of just planning to give one predictable gift you can factor this into your plans to sweep her off her feet (and maybe even your hubby’s too).
If you’re celebrating 5 years together you can give 5 surprises/gifts/dates starting 5 days out leading up to your anniversary. We put an example together below so you’ll get the idea.
Formula: (10) surprises + (10) days before leading to your anniversary date = (10) year wedding anniversary.
Day 1: Re-enact your first date (or an element of your first date).
Day 2: Pamper her…Schedule her an appointment to get her nails done just as you did or she would have wanted before you popped the question!
Day 3: Make reservations at her 3 favorite restaurants and go to each one for a different course (appetizers, dinner, and dessert).
Day 4: Buy the flavor wedding cake you had at your wedding (or get something close to what you remember). In your living room set up a spotlight, the cake, and turn on your first dance song. Re-anact/dance to your first dance in your living room.
Day 5: (Wedding Anniversary): Create a board on Pinterest of all the things you love about her and what you want to do together over the many years to come. If you are surprising her/him with an anniversary trip your board can include items you’re doing on your trip together and you can surprise her by emailing it to her at work or leave it up on the home computer (with a bow) to find when she has a moment away from carpool schedules and the kiddos.
I love me some creative wedding anniversary ideas and a commitment that’s worth celebrating so if you have ideas up your sleeve please share!
Love,
