First anniversary ideas
Dh and I's first anniversary is this Friday. We have a great relationship but seems like we have been fighting a lot and disagreeing over petty things like how to handle household chores.
Anyway we just moved into a house and are tight on money but would like to do something to perhaps rekindle our spark. We live in Louisiana and would be open to a weekend getaway that doesnt cost too much or even just a night. We also could stay here. I just want it to be about us remembering why we got married and celebrating that.
Re: First anniversary ideas
Have a pick-nick in your house. Lay a blanket out on the living room floor (or outside but not sure how mosquitoes would be) and eat any yummy food you want. Maybe serve both of your favorite dishes. Rent a movie he really wants to see and one you want to and watch both. After Theron meal you could have cake. For snacks pop some popcorn, eat candy and drink some soda while cuddled up on the couch.
What do you two like to do? He likes to golf then go do some miniature golf. You like swimming is there a beach close by? Be creative and have fun with it. Something goes wrong or not quite as planned just roll with it. Make this an adventure and a fun memory.
My DH and I have one thing that we plan to do for our first anniversary (coming up in a month or so). I got this idea from a wedding I went to, and want to steal it...it was too late to incorporate it into our wedding, that's why we are going to do it for our 1 year anniversary. Ok, here's the idea:
You each write a letter to one another, explaining what it was that made you fall in love with that person, and how you know they were "The One". You DON'T READ THE LETTERS. Instead, you put the letters in a box with two wine glasses, and a bottle of wine. You save it, either for down the road as an "In Case of Emergency" where you are having marriage troubles, and you read the letters to remind each other why you are together in the first place. OR, if you have no marriage troubles, you open it again for your 20th anniversary.
I'm really looking forward to doing this, and I think it's a good, low cost thing to do that is really special. Happy Anniversary!
I was going to suggest boudoir photos since 1year is "paper" and that's what I'm doing but since it's only 2 days away and $$ is a concern I guess that's out.
Why not book at a cute bed and breakfast? Write him a letter about why you married him, how much you love him, and that you want to get back on track and stop fighting about the 'little things' (paper gift) and have it at the B&B when you arrive.......
