Need 1st anniversary ideas on a dime
My husband and I have made a lot of big purchases in our first year of marriage (ex: house and furniture) We had always planned on doing something big for our first anniversary but now we low on cash and I need ideas fast on either romantic or adventurous idea on what we could do but that does not cost hundreds of dollars. Ideas please??
Re: Need 1st anniversary ideas on a dime
Trust me Google is my best friend and I have looked and looked. Just haven't seen much that's creative.
Uh... steak and bj. Perfect for any occasion.
It doesn't have to be creative to be special. Think of it as starting a tradition. Every year we _________ on our anniversary.
It can be anything. Wear your wedding shoes out to dinner. Re-read your guest book. Make cupcakes the same flavor as your wedding cake. Kiss at the exact same time you kissed during your wedding ceremony. Dance your first dance in your living room. Write down your 3 favorite memories of the last year, add to it every year. Take a picture by your front door every year.
Doesn't matter what you do. It's special because it's your anniversary.
Hey there,
Okay this sounds exciting! My hubby and I have had to figure out how to be creative on a budget. Here are a few ideas, feel free to make them your own:
1. 3 courses, 3 different restaurants
For an adventureish dinner. Determine which 3 restaurants you would like to go to. Then choose one for your appetizer, one for main course, and one for dessert.
2. Spa day on a budget
local gyms have a jacuzzi, steam room, and sauna. Start early to be free from the crowds. Some even provide treatments that are $50 or less each.
3. quaint b&b
there may be a little town near you that has a bed and breakfast. Book in and have a special night alone and a delicious breakfast in the morning
4. Arcade!
You can have a quick stop at an arcade. $20 can allow you and your hubby to have a great time competing against each other.
5. Museums
google will tell you of the local ones
6. Drive out with a picnic
This anniversary would be a great one to take a dream drive. Where you and your DH can talk about your dreams and what you would like to do in the months and years to come. We like driving into the country side and looking a large homes. We then have a picnic packed as well.
7. Groupon
http://www.groupon.com this website gives you deals in your area from restaurants to fun day out activities.
Hope this was helpful for you:) May you and your hubby have a great anniversary and many more great years to come.

**6.30.12** I have found the one whom my soul loves.
My husband and I had the same issue for our first anniversary. We wanted to go on a trip, but it just wasn't in the budget.
Our reception was at a hotel, which also had a nice restaurant. We had dinner at that restaurant and then went upstairs to kinda retrace our wedding steps. There was actually another wedding going on, so we decided to have a special dance out in the hallway to the music from the other wedding. It was a sweet moment! After dinner we went home and ate our cake and watched our wedding video. It was simple, but very special just because of what the day meant to us.
