1. Relive the first date
Take your anniversary as an opportunity to relive the magic of that very first day. You remember how falling in love was so exciting, don't you? Why not try to do it again!
2. Celebrate with the ones who play a part in your relationship
Send flowers or a box of chocolates to the one who set you two up and tell them how grateful you are for setting you up in the first place. Inviting them over for dinner would be an even better idea.
3. Remake your wedding photo
It's a fun thing to do, plus, you can wear that gorgeous wedding dress once again.
4. What's pre-wedding photo shoot? Get post-wedding photo shoot!
If you missed the chance, or if you just like those who didn't do such trend, an anniversary is a great excuse to get dressed up and take pictures. Discuss this with your partner, sit down with the photographer to talk about the theme, location, and wardrobes. It's so much fun!
5. Love letter for future
Write a love letter to each other, keep it in a safe place and ask your partner to open and read it on your next anniversary.
6. Have a dessert date
Go out to your favorite café or bakery and have only desserts for both of you. It's a sweet reason to have a sweet treat.
7. Turn your gadgets off and get turned on
Spend an evening with no technology, just the two of you. Let your iPod play some music to bring out the mood. Enjoy each other's company and get intimate!
8. Have an amusement park date
Laugh out loud, goof around and be restless like a couple of teenagers.
9. Watch your wedding video
… and/or look through your wedding pictures. It's a great opportunity to remember that special day. Dust off those DVDs and photo albums, you can now make fun of those horrible wedding-playlist-gone-wrong.
10. Upgrade your rings
Love does get better as the years roll by. Celebrate your 'upgraded' love with upgrading your rings. Get new ones or modify the original.
11. Get crafty
Take a class on a pottery studio and make some pottery for each other. You can also do some paintings, or make something together at home like a scrapbook.
12. Do something new and extreme together
Have you tried extreme sports with your partner? Did you know that the sky-rocketing endorphin that you'll get from doing such extreme sports, plus the novelty will boost your libidos! So, what will you do first? From sky diving, bungee jumping, to mountain climbing, and white water rafting, just make sure you hire a licensed and experienced provider.
So, what's your idea for this year's anniversary celebration? One thing for sure, whatever it is, make it a memorable experience that you will cherish for many years to come.
