The
Importance of Wedding Anniversaries
Your wedding day was the
day the two of you celebrated with family and friends the beginning of your
marriage. Your anniversary celebrations celebrate the continuation of your love
for one another throughout the years.
Each and every wedding
anniversary deserves to be celebrated in a memorable way. When you celebrate
your wedding anniversary each year it is an annual renewal of your commitment
to one another.
Here are some ideas to
help you create some memorable wedding anniversaries for you and your spouse.
Anniversary
Party Ideas
Mark your anniversary date
prominently on your family calendar by circling the date and noting what
anniversary you will be celebrating.
1. Plan your anniversary
celebration with your spouse. Start planning how you will celebrate the day at
least two weeks in advance.
2. Try and take a family
portrait on each wedding anniversary.
3. Keep an anniversary
scrapbook or journal of your anniversary celebrations throughout the years. The
day will come when you won't remember how you celebrated some of your
anniversaries or what gifts you received without saving these memories in a
journal.
4. Don't forget to have
toasts to the anniversary couple! Toasts are another long standing tradition of
anniversary celebrations. If you aren't having a party, you can toast one
another!
5. Don't forget to tell the DJ or Band what your wedding song is.
6. Hire a Semi-Pro Photographer to capture your once in a lifetime family photos and to make a montage of old photos to show at your event!
7. A roast is a fun and different way to entertain both the couple and guests!
Plan a
Weekend Away Together
A great way to celebrate
your anniversary is to figure out a way to be alone together for the weekend.
Planning a weekend away
isn't something you should do every year on your anniversary. However, having a
weekend away together on your wedding anniversary provides you with the
opportunity to reassess where you've been, where you're going, and to renew
your commitment to each other in a special location.
