How to celebrate a wedding anniversary?

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

Of course, the most obvious option is to celebrate the wedding anniversary only together with one half. At home, you can organize a romantic dinner without forgetting to decorate the apartment with candles, photographs, flickering garlands and other festive interior details. If possible, it is better to get out to the restaurant. Beautiful appearance, new decor, gourmet dinner, pleasant music - all this is very refreshing to the senses. End the evening is a walk through the falling asleep city and heart-to-heart talk.

Uncommon, but really memorable will be a celebration outside the usual walls in a travel format. An ideal solution would be to go to a sanatorium, a modern health center, a neighboring city or even abroad for the weekend. The journey will surely fill the young with vivid emotions, happy moments and even usher in a new tradition. Extreme spouses will certainly be delighted with the idea to jump with a parachute together, especially if not one of them has done this before.In addition, you can test yourself together in a rope park or go to the mountains, attend a diving lesson or stand on a surfboard, arrange rafting or go hiking.

Any joint master class will please the newlyweds, fortunately, today there are a huge number of variations of such leisure activities. Husband and wife will be able to go sculpting from clay, prepare foreign delicacies, taste wine or paint with watercolors.

Another nice tradition could be a joint photo shoot. If, year after year, the family sets off on the same day to a professional photographer and takes high-quality pictures, then it will be possible to compile an album that allows you to track how lovers changed and remember what one or another year was remembered for. Instead of a photo, however, you can select a video and take advantage of 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 letters to each other of love or an oath of allegiance.

The idea of ​​replaying the wedding looks a little expensive, but amazing, especially if it initially went wrong. This time, you can choose a different venue, change the menu, perhaps creatively experiment with the outfits, and most importantly, invite not all your relatives and colleagues from work, but only the closest people. Some couples play several weddings to embody all the ideas that arise and not worry about missed opportunities. It seems romantic to reconstruct the first date - to go where everything had just begun and to remember the past months. Good weather will also allow you to have a picnic in the fresh air.

Other interesting solutions include horse riding or a spontaneous trip to the nearest train. It is enough to come to the station, buy tickets and set off to explore the city, which has come about by chance. It is worth adding that Wedding anniversary is the 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 on this day it is time to pluck the old wallpaper and go on reconnaissance in Ikea. You can buy a car or go to study at a driving school, get a pet or visit an unusual place.

In Russia, there are a lot of 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 chintz wedding. Such a holiday is better to celebrate somewhere in nature, in the country or in a rented house. All nearby trees are decorated with chintz, scarfs or lace, as well as traditional helium balls. 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 restrict yourself to a handkerchief, which you can give to your spouse afterwards. He, in turn, must do the same, although the scarf will probably be easier to get in the store. The main drink of chintz wedding is advised to make delicious tea, which is served directly in the samovar.

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 ask a topic that is interesting to both husband and wife, prepare costumes, a suitable menu and entertainment. For example, often the anniversary is celebrated in the style of “The Great Gatsby” with a poker game, photo shoots and pouring champagne. Or you can try to recreate your favorite movie - distribute roles, dress up in character costumes and play skits. A non-standard approach would be to rent a tram or trolley bus and celebrate directly in transport.

A classic celebration is a trip to nature in a fun company. Although this idea is quite commonplace, barbecue, fresh air and a blazing bonfire always go with a bang. In the case when the husband loves football, and the wife shares his hobby, it will be cool to invite friends to jointly watch an important match with football snacks. By the way, a thematic photo shoot will also be in the subject. Recently, quests have been popular, allowing the company to rally even more and spend a memorable time.

If the holiday is planned to be celebrated at home, you can’t 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 time line.

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

You can end a busy day in a cafe for ice cream tasting, in a toy store or in a movie theater in a family movie. In fact, a lot of adults dream of going back to childhood and again feeling like children, and a family holiday will be an ideal occasion for this. If in the finals you buy a large set of Lego constructor, a typewriter on control, a board game or a multi-piece puzzle, then everyone will be satisfied. When planning your day, remember that despite the presence of children, it is still a celebration of adults, so it is their preferences that should be a priority.

Thinking through the festive meal, you should remember two important things. First - on this day you can forget about diets and the usual simple dishes. It is today that you are allowed to treat yourself to your beloved, albeit not the most wholesome dishes and expensive delicacies. Therefore, the choice should be made depending on the preferences of the young.

The second thing is still a holiday, therefore the wife should not spend a third of him 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 be sure to cook with your husband.

Many people are concerned about the question of whether it is allowed to celebrate the anniversary of the holiday in advance. Indeed, urgent matters, business trips, and banal everyday life overloaded with work can always arise. However, most people are advised not to rush and still wait for a specific date. It is believed that celebrating a celebration in advance is a bad omen. To do so, something bad could happen before the present anniversary.
