Milestone anniversaries are a big deal, especially in today’s world where divorce and separation rates have never been higher. If you have a big anniversary milestone coming up, such as a 10th. 20th, 25th, or even 50th wedding anniversary coming up, you may be wondering how you should celebrate this momentous occasion.
Whether you want to celebrate in a more common way, such as by throwing a party or planning a trip, or you prefer to deviate from the norm a little, there is something for everyone in these five memorable ways to celebrate big anniversary milestones.
If you are not a fan of elaborate events, why not make a more understated but equally memorable gesture, such as writing a love letter or poem? Ahead of the big day, sit down and think about all the wonderful times you have had together. Take a moment to remember what made you fall in love with them in the first place. And then put your feelings into words.
1. Write a love letter or poem
You don’t need to be a poet to express how you feel about the person you have chosen to spend your life with; just tell them everything you love about them.
2. Plan a vacation
It becomes all too easy over time to get caught up in the mundane aspects of daily life, so why not take some time to just be together?
Whether there is a destination you have always dreamt of visiting or you simply want to enjoy some rest in the sun, a couples’ vacation might be just what you need to rekindle a little bit of romance and recharge your batteries.
3. Throw a party
If you want all your family and friends to be able to celebrate your milestone anniversary with you, an epic party is the way to go. All you need to do is find a private party venue, enlist the services of a caterer, hire a band or DJ and you are good to go.
This is a great idea for couples who love to be the center of attention and want to flaunt their love and commitment in front of everyone they know!
4. Renew your vows
Reinforce your love for one another and recreate the magic of your wedding day by renewing your vows on your anniversary. The perfect opportunity to remember why you got together in the first place and to appreciate the support you have given each other over the years, you can make this occasion as grandiose or humble as you would like.
If you have had children since you have been married, this also offers them the chance to be involved in your special day, which can make the renewal service even more meaningful.
5. Take a road trip
Feeling a bit adventurous? Although this may not be everyone’s idea of fun, if you both love to explore the unknown and at least one of you doesn’t mind driving long distances, a road trip is a great idea for a milestone anniversary.
You can meet new people, discover new places, and spend quality time with your partner. What more could you want from a milestone anniversary celebration?
