Introduction and ideas!
Hi fellow nesties 
I haven't logged on to the site in a loooooooong time. I was married 10.10.10 on Thanksgiving in Canada to my wonderful DH. Him and I spent the past 3 years moving and going through the immigration process to the USA (He's an American) It has been a long, awful process that sapped much of the wedding planning/funds
Thankfully it is now semi over! However our 1 year is quickly coming up. I want to start doing Anniversary traditions, but I'm stumped on ideas. I know as soon as our anniversary passes I will go "DOH! I should have done that"
I know 1 year is paper, and since we both love the movie Newsies (he was an extra in it and it's my favourite movie) I am going to make him a faux newspaper. I would like to put that in a scrapbook as I want to make a scrapbook for him for every anniversary. I am also thinking of doing photobooth photos every year to add in.
Does anyone have any neat things they are planning on turning into yearly traditions?

Re: Introduction and ideas!
Welcome to the board!
I am doing an anniversary photo book for us. It is something I would like to do every year so I figured I needed to do year one right away so I wouldn't forget. That's really the only tradition I plan on starting so far.
I really have nothing to add, but a I wanted to say hello. Oh and that is an awesome idea!
Welcome! Newsies was one of my favorite movies growing up and your ideas sound really cute.
We are going to the Georgia Tech Homecoming game (DH went to college there) for our anniversary, but it probably won't be a regular anniversary thing. I don't know what we will do as a tradition, if anything, we have a lot of traditions that surround other holidays, so it might be overwhelming to us.
Welcome! We plan to do the traditional gifts each year. So paper, wood, clocks, rubber bands...whatever it is each year. This year, I bought DH one share of stock in Sam Adams and they will send a fancy certificate that I'm having framed. He got me tickets to see Louis CK 3 days before our anniversary.
My SIL gave me an album that says "our anniversary" on it and the first page is for our wedding picture and then each page after that is for a different year. That's all I plan to do as far as albums go.
Love the Newsies idea!
Welcome! And, the newspaper is a great idea. What about finding news-worthy events for the year you were married, or the history of the day you were married?
Our "paper" gift this year is tickets to "How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" on Broadway.

TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermDid I miss the "preggers post" from you?!?!?!?
As for the gift thing, DH & I didn't really stick with the paper theme. Unless he magically did get me tickets to see Wicked (which I'd love btw). I got him a new paintball gun. So I can't say I'm much help here. But your idea is really cute.
The newspaper is an adorable, creative idea - love it!
We're not doing the "traditional" gifts - we've decided to have a DNA portrait done that we'll put over our bed (I'm a biology geek, and he's an engineer, so it works for us). Maybe we'll do some kind of artwork every year? Hard to tell
Anyways, welcome!!!
Welcome to the group! Feel free to jump in and post often
I don't think we're exchanging anniversary gifts but we started a tradition on our honeymoon of writing oursevles a postcard from wherever we are on our anniversary. Last year we each took turns writing a sentence, saying where we were, what we did, noting anything special etc. I'm pretty sure this year we're staying in town but I still plan to pick up a local postcard.
Eventually I want to display them somewhere in our home...kinda like one of these...
unfortunately no, that's why I can't guarantee anything...I'm fairly certain I was last month and lost it and I read that a large number of women get KU the month after a miscarriage, so I'm trying to be optimistic. It would be great because I would find out the week of DH's birthday if I was and then there is a really slim chance of getting an ultrasound before our anniversary.
Trip to Prague & bring home furbaby when we get back

These are all such cute ideas!! Thanks girls
Thanks for the warm welcome... I plan on sticking around!
Looking at the date, less than a month before the anniversary! YIIIIIIIIKES. I have to get my butt in gear if I'm going to do all these fun things. I told DH that I want to do the "traditional" gifts with a spin on it and that this year is paper. Excited to see what he comes up with! He loved the photobooth idea, too!
I really love all of these cute suggestions!
