How to celebrate your wedding anniversary?

A wedding anniversary is truly a meaningful celebration for any couple. The options for celebration are almost endless, but they all share a common goal - to spend time with your loved one and fill the day with wonderful, memorable emotions. In general, you can either celebrate this date in different ways every year, or you can start a tradition for the first time, which you can then continue and develop throughout your life together.

Of course, the most obvious option is to celebrate the wedding anniversary only together with your soul mate. At home, you can organize a romantic dinner, not forgetting to decorate the apartment with lighted candles, photographs, flickering garlands and other festive interior details. If possible, it’s better to get out to a restaurant. Beautiful appearance, new furnishings, exquisite dinner, pleasant music - all this is very refreshing for the senses. End the evening with a walk through the sleeping city and heart-to-heart conversations.

Celebration outside the usual walls in a travel format will become uncommon, but really memorable. The ideal solution would be to go for the weekend to a sanatorium, a modern health complex, a neighboring city or even abroad. The journey will surely fill young people with bright emotions, happy moments and even lay the foundation for a new tradition. Extreme spouses will definitely be delighted with the idea of ​​parachuting together, especially if none of them has ever done it before.Alternatively, you can test yourself in a rope park or go to the mountains, go diving or board a surfboard, go rafting or hiking.

Any joint master class will delight the newlyweds, fortunately, today a huge number of variations of such leisure activities are presented. Husband and wife can go to sculpt with clay, cook foreign delicacies, taste wine or paint with watercolors.

Another pleasant tradition can be a joint photo session. If, year after year, on the same day, a family goes to a professional photographer and take high-quality pictures, then it will be possible to compile an album that will allow you to trace how the lovers have changed and remember how this or that year was remembered. Instead of a photo, however, you can choose a video and use the work of a videographer and shoot your own love story. We must not forget about gifts. They must be personal and meaningful, connected either with something romantic and allowing them to be used together or in the interests of the half. A touching undertaking will be to write each other letters of love or oaths of allegiance.

A little costly, but the idea of ​​replaying the wedding looks amazing, especially if initially it did not go the way you wanted. This time, you can choose a different venue, change the menu, perhaps creatively experiment with outfits, and most importantly, invite not all relatives and colleagues from work, but only the closest people. Some couples play several weddings in order to embody all the ideas that arise and not worry about missed opportunities. The idea to recreate the first date looks romantic - to go to the place where it all just began and remember the past months. Good weather will also allow for outdoor picnics.

Other interesting solutions include a horse ride or a spontaneous trip on the nearest train. It is enough to come to the station, buy tickets and go to explore the city that happened by chance. It is worth adding that wedding anniversary is the very time when you need to fulfill common dreams, even the strangest ones. For example, if the beginning of the desired repair has been postponed for a long time, then it is on this day that it is time to rip off the old wallpaper and go on exploration in Ikea. You can buy a car or go to a driving school, have a pet, or visit an unusual place.

In Russia, there are many traditions and customs dedicated to different anniversaries, so it is quite possible to study the experience of ancestors and implement various rituals. For example, the first year of marriage ends with a cotton wedding. It is better to celebrate such a holiday somewhere in nature, in a summer cottage or in a rented house. All nearby trees are decorated with chintz fabrics, scarves or lace, as well as traditional helium balloons. Instead of a tablecloth, a chintz piece 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 yourself to a handkerchief, which you then give to your spouse. He, in turn, should do the same, although it will probably be easier to get a handkerchief in the store. It is advised to make delicious tea, which is served directly in a samovar, as the main drink of a gingham wedding.

If a young couple celebrates a holiday with close friends, then it is better to organize it in the format of a theme party.It is necessary to set a topic that is interesting to both husband and wife, prepare costumes, a suitable menu and entertainment. For example, the anniversary is often celebrated in the "Great Gatsby" style with poker games, photo shoots and pouring champagne. Or you can try to recreate your favorite movie by assigning roles, dressing up in character costumes and acting out the scenes. A non-standard approach would be to rent a tram or trolleybus and celebrate right in the transport.

A trip to nature in a fun company is considered a classic celebration. Although this idea is rather commonplace, but kebabs, fresh air and a blazing fire always come with a bang. In the event that the husband loves football, and the wife shares his hobby, it will be great to invite friends to watch an important match with football snacks together. By the way, a thematic photo session will also be in the subject. Recently, quests have become popular, allowing the company to unite even more and have a memorable time.

If the holiday is planned to be celebrated at home, then we must not forget about the correct design - this is exactly the moment when it will be appropriate to post all your personal photos - for example, create a kind of wall newspaper or a personal timeline.

If a young couple has children, then the best decision would be to go where it will be fun for both big and small. Most often, preference is given to bowling, paintball, trampoline center, amusement park, park with slot machines, climbing wall, go-karting and other similar establishments. Do not forget about such entertainments as applying face painting, blowing bubbles or visiting scientific centers with fascinating chemical shows.

Round off a busy day at an ice cream parlor, at a toy store, or watching a family movie at the cinema. In fact, many adults dream of traveling back to childhood and feeling like children again, and a family holiday will be the perfect occasion for this. If at the end you buy a large Lego set, a control car, a board game or a large puzzle, then everyone will be satisfied. When planning your day, remember that despite the presence of children, this is still a holiday for adults, so their preferences should be a priority.

When planning your holiday meal, there are two important things to keep in mind. First, on this day you can forget about diets and familiar simple dishes. It is today that you are allowed to pamper yourself with your loved ones, albeit not the most healthy dishes and expensive delicacies. Therefore, the choice should be made depending on the preferences of the young.

The second thing is still a holiday, so the wife should not spend a third of it in the kitchen, even if guests are invited... This suggests that you should either choose dishes to order, or go to a restaurant, or give preference to something simple and always cook with your husband.

Many people are worried about whether it is allowed to celebrate the anniversary of the holiday in advance. After all, there can always be urgent matters, business trips, and even banal everyday life, overloaded with work. However, most people advise not to rush and still wait for a specific date. It is believed that celebrating a celebration in advance is a bad omen. If you do that, something bad could happen before the actual anniversary. This superstition, by the way, also applies to other holidays - birthdays, anniversaries and other important dates.In addition, it is a little wrong to mark the anniversary in advance, because in fact the year has not passed yet, and in this case, a beautiful date has yet to happen.
