Wedding anniversary is really a significant holiday for any couple. The options for celebration are almost endless, but they all share a single goal - to spend time with your loved one and fill the day with wonderful, memorable emotions. In general, it is possible either to celebrate this date in different ways every year, or to lay down a tradition for the first time, which we then continue and develop throughout our life together.
How to celebrate the date together with my husband?
Of course, the most obvious option is considered to celebrate the anniversary of the wedding only together with its half. At home, you can organize a romantic dinner, not forgetting to decorate the apartment with lighted candles, photos, flickering festoons and other festive details of the interior. If you can, it is better to still get to the restaurant. Beautiful appearance, new decor, exquisite dinner, pleasant music - all this is very refreshing feeling. Finishing the evening is worth a walk through the sleeping city and heart to heart talk.
Unusual, but really memorable will be a celebration outside the usual walls in the format of travel. The ideal solution would be to go for a weekend to a sanatorium, a modern health complex, a neighboring city, or even abroad. The journey will surely fill the young with bright emotions, happy moments and even mark the beginning of a new tradition. Extreme spouses will definitely be delighted with the idea of jumping with a parachute together, especially if none of them has ever done this before. In addition, you can test yourself in a rope park or go to the mountains, attend a diving lesson or go surfing, go rafting or go hiking.
Any joint master class will delight the newlyweds, good, today there are a huge number of variations of such leisure activities. Husband and wife will be able to go to sculpt from clay, prepare foreign delicacies, taste wines or paint with watercolors.
Another nice tradition can be a joint photo session. If, year after year, on the same day, as a family, you go to a professional photographer and take high-quality pictures, then you can compose an album that allows you to trace how lovers have changed, and remember what a particular year was remembered. Instead of a photo, however, you can choose a video and take advantage of the work of the videographer and shoot your own love story. We must not forget about the gifts. They must be personal and meaningful, connected either with something romantic and allowing them to be used together or with the responding interests of the halves. A touching idea would be to write each other letters of love or oaths of loyalty.
The idea of replaying the wedding looks a bit costly, but terrific, especially if initially it went wrong. This time, you can choose another venue, change the menu, perhaps creatively experiment with outfits, and most importantly, invite not all in a row relatives and colleagues from work, but only the closest people. Some couples play a few weddings to embody all the ideas that arise and not worry about missed opportunities. It looks like a romantic idea to recreate the first date - to go to where everything has just begun, and to recall the past months. Good weather will also allow for a picnic in the fresh air.
Surprisingly, the food in such conditions always gets tastier, and the atmosphere has to romance.
Other interesting solutions include horse riding or spontaneous travel on the nearest train. Enough to come to the station, buy tickets and go explore the city by accident. Worth adding that Wedding anniversary is the very time when you need to fulfill joint dreams, even the strangest ones. For example, if the beginning of the desired repair was postponed for a long time, then it is time to pick up the old wallpaper and go on reconnaissance in Ikea. You can buy a car or go to a driving school, get a pet or visit an unusual place.
The main thing is that both husband and wife have fun. If the year was not easy and there was a lot of fatigue, then maybe it would be much better to order a few pizza laps, get into the crib and watch the new season of your favorite TV series in one gulp.
In Russia, there are many traditions and customs dedicated to different anniversaries, so it is possible to study the experience of ancestors and implement various rituals. For example, the first year of marriage together ends with a chintz wedding. This holiday is better to celebrate somewhere in nature, a country house or in a rented house. All nearby trees are decorated with calico fabrics, shawls or lace, as well as traditional helium balloons. Instead of a tablecloth, a calico cut of fabric, decorated with beads, buttons and bows, is also suitable.
By tradition, the hostess for this holiday embroiders either clothes for herself and her husband, or a tablecloth. Of course, in modern conditions, you can limit your handkerchief, which afterwards to give to your spouse. He, in turn, should do the same, although a handkerchief will probably be easier to buy at the store. The main drink calico wedding advised to make a delicious tea, which is served directly in the samovar.
Friends Party Ideas

What to cook on the table?

Today it is allowed to pamper yourself with your favorite, even if not the most wholesome dishes and expensive delicacies. Therefore, the choice should be made depending on the preferences of the young.
