All things Anniversaries - parties, gifts, milestones and traditions
Modern times mean that some people do not marry and so celebrate their anniversary from the date of the first kiss, first date, officially becoming a couple, moving in together, or other major first. All these anniversary celebrations can use the anniversary modern or traditional gift ideas, or you can choose your own gift.
People celebrate different dates as an anniversary - the same day each year.
Popular anniversaries to celebrate :
Wedding anniversary, first kiss anniversary, anniversary of the first date, anniversary of starting a job, anniversary of starting a company, anniversary of a major event (25 years in a job, one year in remission, years owning a house etc.)
Traditionally when celebrating a wedding anniversary it is done each year on the same date the wedding was held.
Be it by giving a gift, wining and dining your partner for that special day or going away for a holiday it is nice to celebrate the milestones in your relationship and to take time out to be thankful for the past year's happiness.
Other Ideas :
It is fun to invite the wedding party for dinner, using your wedding china and cutlery and looking over photos from the day. If the bridesmaids still have their dresses you can encourage everyone to dress up again.
If you have been a bit lazy in the year, use the night to organise photos from the past year into an album, or within your files. You can look back over the year, while doing something practical.
There is a set list of traditional and modern anniversary gifts if you need some help buying a gift, or make up your own gift list.
