We went ring shopping
After shopping a little and grabbing dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, we decided to poke around a little at the jewelry store 'just in case.' He proposed a month or so later, and we got married on our 6 year anniversary (well a week before, but close enough.)
Makes it easy for us! Now we don't have to decide whether or not to celebrate our dating anniversary now that we're married.

We went out for a nice dinner and exchanged very small gifts.
Our 10 year dating anniversary is in September and we are leaving for DC the next day to stay with his brother and meet our new niece or nephew, so I don't think we will be doing much. Maybe just a casual dinner out...

We celebrated our first wedding anniversary.
We started dating in April and got married in April, so we just combined them into one. We don't really celebrate it per se, but we do say "can you believe we've been together XXX years?" each year.
First date anniversary? No - we don't celebrate it, but that has more to do with the fact that, given the distance, we never really "dated." I do remember and sometimes try to do something special for the anniversary of the first "I love you" exchange.
We do, however, celebrate when we met (which I suppose could be date-ish) - and that is New Years Eve . . . well, technically, the day before as that was the date of the wedding we met at, but then all the wedding guests went out the next night - New Years Eve - and that was when I really got to know DH.
We also celebrate the date he moved to the US - apart from our wedding anniversary, that is the big one to celebrate. For that, I make a lobster dinner (DH's favorite) and for our anniversary we go ice-skating at the Depot (where we got married). Neither is terribly fancy, but it has become a special tradition for us.
We got married on our 7 year anniversary to the day so now we just celebrate our wedding anniversary. Our 3rd year anniversary in October was our 10 year dating anniversary. :-)
I don't recall doing anything super special at 5 years....that was 5 years ago! :-)
I was going to say that we haven't been together that long -- then I thought about it and realized we hit five years as of last October. Wow! It definitely doesn't seem that long.
Clearly, we didn't celebrate. Now that I think about it, though, I'm not sure we ever celebrated a dating anniversary since we were engaged before the one-year mark.
We're really laid back when it comes to celebrating (or not celebrating, for that matter) just about anything.
margaritas in mexico
On our 5 year dating anniversary, we got engaged! We went up to Grand Marais to stay at my parents' cabin for the weekend, went out for a nice dinner, took a walk around the bay, he popped the question, and then we went back to the cabin to watch movies :-)
Now, since being married, we'll wish each other a happy date-iversary in the morning, and maybe go get cheesecake that night (only because we'll use nearly any excuse we can to go get cheesecake...).
As for suggestions, I would recommend going out for dinner, maybe revisiting the place you went for your first date? Being able to spend time with my H is the most important part for me, so I don't really care what we do as long as we are able to be together!
Since we got married we only celebrate our wedding anniversay. I think I mentioned something on our 5 year dating anniversay, but that was it.
