🌹Anniversary Traditions/ideas🥂

(Marked my more main points with • but if you have time/don’t mind reading all my background and detail then go for it Smiley winking thanks in advance and also happy early Easter to all who celebrate this holiday. ✝️🤍To everyone have a great weekend & happy spring too! 💐🌹🤍)

•Our anniversary isnt til 10.12. We got married in 2019. I wanted to do something like : •possibly a dinner or a fun day/evening date (ex—bowling, skating, (maybe more of a lower active level sport like ski ball at the local arcade 😆), axe throwing-that one we’ve never done before) also thought of something more extravagant (that we also haven’t ever done as a couple before)• like going to the beach somewhere (was considering sandals/possibly even doing a type of vow renewal there/more of just an intimate anniversary celebration or ‘AC’ is what we called it) to even something more easy going like some •selfie’s in front of fountains in KC we’ve been wanting to see together or even just a •small, simple date night @home with movies, popcorn, & plenty of candy/cookie dough. I’m sure there’s a plethora of other ideas I haven’t listed above/didn’t think of when writing this post that I’ve love for us to do together as a couple & I know regardless of course that just time together in itself regardless of the amount of time shared or even what the activities are (even if we’re just cuddling on the couch for five minutes) has been/is/will always be immensely precious & I’m always thankful/blessed for any and all time I have with him. (Especially now during his jobs busiest season —which lasts from pretty much April thru August-if not longer sometimes) •I just wanted some ideas of what others have done, are doing, will do for their anniversary and/or what possible traditions you’ve made part of your annual ‘us day’. A tradition I’ve thought of adding was something small and sweet *literally* 😂 by having the same woman that made our wedding cake make a cupcake for us every year however she went out of business. 😞 so maybe I can find a nice bakery close by to still be able to have that sometime or for one of our next anniversaries. •What are some traditions or even future dream dates/vacations y’all would love to have with your SO?

    A lot of your list of ideas sound like great things to be doing *regularly* instead of saving for an anniversary. I don't mean to belittle your ideas at all, I just mean that regular outings/day trips to new places, trying new experiences together, and movie nights are an important part of my marriage on a daily/weekly/monthly basis (obviously COVID has put a damper on outings, day trips, and most new experiences). I wouldn't be OK with only doing those things once a year on our anniversary.

    So, assuming you guys already do things like go out for dinner, have movie nights, go bowling, etc. together regularly, then I would try to plan something new for you both for your anniversary. If you can afford a vacation at the beach, that sounds fantastic!

    But I also think yearly traditions are nice, so in addition to planning a vacation, you could also choose a special restaurant that is normally out of your budget (or not part of your normal dinner choices for another reason) and go there for your anniversary dinner each year.

    Some restaurants mark special occasions for guests with complimentary champagne or dessert, if you tell them ahead of time. We used to go to one that asked everyone if it was a special occasion when you made reservations. Then they would print the names and occasion on the daily menu. We had several lovely anniversary dinners there before we moved out of state. Smiley heart

    For our first anniversary we took a weekend trip. The second, we went to a baseball game, which isn't abnormal, but we did all-inclusive seats, which we don't normally do. On our third we quarantined lol. Not sure what we're going to do this year.

    We got married in 2019 too. Our "tradition" is probably just going to be watching our wedding video every year! Our original idea was to go get a drink at the bar of the hotel where we got married and to make that the tradition, but obviously with covid we weren't able to start that
