Ah, the paper anniversary; that special time of year when you can celebrate the anniversary of the day when you said your vows to the love of your life. It’s a momentous occasion, and one that deserves to be commemorated. If you’re wondering how to celebrate it this year, look no further: here are 10 creative ideas to help make your paper anniversary special.
1.Write Love Letters. Nothing says romance quite like a good old-fashioned love letter. Take some time to hand-write your spouse a letter expressing your love and appreciation on your paper anniversary. Whether you choose to keep it short and sweet or get out the rose-tinted quill and wax and write a sweeping epistolary epic, the important thing is to share your love with the one you cherish.
2.Visit a Landmark. Enjoy a romantic walk around a local landmark that has some special significance for your relationship. It could be the place where you first met, the place where you got engaged, or even the place where you first shared a kiss. The location itself doesn’t matter—it’s all about the memories, and there’s no better way to tantalize your taste-buds for love than a wistful stroll around a meaningful place.
3.Share Pictures. Create a scrapbook or upload some photos to your favorite social media site. Show off those beautiful, goofy, and captivating moments that the two of you have shared together. It’s the perfect way to reminisce about all the fun, laughter, and love that you’ve shared throughout your relationship.
4.Create a Gift. Make something special and tailored specifically for your spouse. Could you sew a quilt that contains material from your wedding dress? Or, cook a meal from a recipe from your honeymoon destination? Whatever you choose, the important thing is to make something specifically for the person you love and out of items that have special significance.
5.Plan a Trip. A change of scenery can be just the refresher you need to rekindle and nurture the flame of love. Plan a getaway to somewhere special: a romantic beach holiday, a week in a nearby city, or even just a closet getaway at a cozy inn. Enjoy each other’s company and create new memories together.
6.Plan a Date. Rekindle the flame of romance with a classic date night. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been married for two weeks or two decades; date nights provide the perfect setting to slow down and simply enjoy one another. Whether you plan an epic, all-day affair, or something simple and intimate such as a sunset stroll, it’s the perfect way to celebrate your paper anniversary.
7.Play a Game. Love is a game after all, so why not make it literal? Gather your friends and family for some fun and laughter—or even just the two of you —for a lively night of board games or card games. The important thing is that it’s about having fun and enjoying each other’s company.
8.Host an Anniversary Party. Invite your closest family and friends to celebrate your special day. Ask everyone to share their best memory of the two of you. Whether it’s the day you met or your epic wedding day, it’s the perfect way to celebrate your special relationship.
9.Film a Video. Film a montage of special moments set to your favorite song. This can be extra funny if you have home videos that you as a couple have made together. All you need to do is pick out your songs, find some special photos and home videos, and gather your family and friends for a fun night of reminiscing.
10.Serve Your Wedding Meal. Make your wedding meal the centerpiece of your anniversary celebration. Whether it’s recipes from your honeymoon destination or a favorite dish from your wedding menu, it’s the perfect way to bring out some emotion and reminisce about your special day.
