Wedding anniversary - do you celebrate?

[hannamaren]

What do you do?
We are at 2 yrs. i am thinking of giving a bouquet of candy.

[fbf2006]

We don't do gifts. We typically travel somewherre for the week/weekend.

[chessie]

If its not a work day, try to do an overnight somewhere or an activity together. We don't do gifts though. First 2 years we didn't do anything since work related stuff was in the way. 3rd we did niagara falls, 4rth went to a nice B/B in NH, 5th went away for the day to Block island..

[anna7602]

Yes. Our anniversary falls on a holiday weekend, so we usually plan to go away. At the very least, we go see the hot-dog-eating contest on Coney Island.

Sometimes we do gifts, sometimes we don't. It depends. The trip usually counts as our gift.

[ssmjlm]

Our goal is to do a wknd getaway each year, around the time of our anniversary. Not sure on location yet this year, need to start thinking.

[Susie]

We usually go out to dinner. No gifts.

[6fsn]

Dinner and a small gift for most anniversaries. For our 5th we spent the night away and will probably do a long weekend for our 10th.

[Deleted]

We go away for the weekend every year around our anniversary.

[raangoli]

We do a trip instead of gifts. And exchange cards.

[mrshandy]

Dinner or a weekend away. We get cards, but no gifts. I would rather spend money on something fun for us to do.

we go out to dinner.

[kangaroo11]

We went on trips for the first two, but I was so sick during this last one, that we did absolutely nothing.

[rageragerage]

We usually just go to dinner and decide on a gift together (like a laptop or trip).

[Deleted]

We usually take a long weekend or vacation for the week.

[HoneySpider]

Yes, we give each other gifts according the the traditional wedding gifts. It's fun (and hard) to come up with something.

Last year it was a weeknight so we did dinner out, that's probably what we'll do again this year. The first year it was on the weekend so we did a night at a local hotel and brunch.

I wear my dress every year

All we've ever done is a nice dinner out.

[mbcdefg]

We went on a little trip for our one-year anniversary (an hour away to Philadelphia, to a Priceline hotel). Paper anniversary, so he got me books and I got him a poster.

Two-year, we cooked a nice dinner at home. Cotton anniversary ... I bought him a shirt and he gave me reusable produce bags and a cute drink dispenser I'd wanted.

Three-year is coming up in the spring. Leather anniversary. Assless chaps, maybe?

[abramos]

We do one of the following: go out to a nice dinner, do a weekend getaway or give each other gifts.

I feel like the chaps are really the only way to go.

We do massages because I alsways want a massage around our anniversary and if I get one DH wants one. We dont really celebrate other than that.

[ddi741]

We do dinner every year at a nice restaurant and then we try to plan a night or a weekend away some where close to our anniversary date if funds allow.

[yellowbrkrd]

Sometimes we go on vacation and sometimes we do a low key night out. It just depends. This year we will either be in NYC or Chicago.

[emilyinchile]

Dinner on the actual day and a trip close to the date.

[definitelyO]

we celebrate -a nd did gifts for the first few years. we go out to dinner or on a short vacation or something. I think we stopped doing gifts afround year 6. but next year is 10 - so gifts and/or big trip is what I want....

[lishie]

We do a dinner for the two of us, but that's it. We don't do gifts or even cards. We just celebrated 8 years married, 15 years together.

[smiley]

We try to take a trip around our anniversary in May. We don't really do gifts.

I didn't do the traditional gifts for the first two years but I looked it up around the time of our 3rd anniversary and bought him a leather whip. (this was after reading 50 shades of gray) Needless to say, the whip is still in the packaging, he didn't think it was funny.

[SJ]

Yes.

We have only had 3 anniversaries, but our general plan is to take a trip each year to celebrate. Once we have kids, we hope these trips will be WITHOUT them.

I plan the trip, DH gets me a gift (he likes to keep w/ the traditional "themes" for each year), we exchange sappy cards. We also buy a bottle of wine each year (from wherever we are traveling) to drink on the next anniversary.

[agnes]

Our 1st anni we went to dinner and saw a comedian. It was very fun.

I don't really remember the other 2 after that.

Or 4th is this Friday. We have no plans as of yet. Maybe just dinner or a random get-a-way. We used to do that all the time before we got married. But I think the holiday weekend won't help with spontaneity.

[Deleted]

We go to dinner at the restaurant our reception was held at on our anniversary.
