What to do on your First Anniversary?
This is a great question, especially if you’re not sure what to do for your first anniversary.
Traditionally the first anniversary is celebrated and commemorated. A gift to mark the first year and give thanks to your spouse for being with you through think and thin over the past year. Lots of wedding anniversaries have gift themes, the First is no different. It has the traditional theme of Paper. There are other lists which also suggest a theme, the modern alternative suggests Clocks as the theme and the Gemstone list suggests Freshwater Pearls.
The best way to celebrate this special day is by spending time together as a couple, which could mean anything from going on a vacation or taking a romantic weekend getaway. Or perhaps you want to enjoy something simple and low-key like dinner at your favourite restaurant or going on an afternoon picnic. Either way, these ideas will help you decide what to do for your first anniversary!
How to celebrate your 1st-anniversary?
Together, is the simple answer! There are lots of ways to celebrate your first anniversary. You can go on a romantic getaway, take a trip to the beach or enjoy an afternoon picnic in the park. It’s important to make it special by choosing something that will allow you and your spouse to spend quality time together.
Here are some ideas for your first anniversary celebration:
- Take a trip together. Near or Far, your choice it’s the company that counts!
- Go on a romantic getaway.
- Spend the weekend at home. (tell people you’re away so you don’t get disturbed!)
… starting your first year as a married couple has been a (mostly) wonderful experience.
You’re still in the honeymoon phase. Perhaps you’re still learning about each other. Even getting used to being around each other 24/7 and figuring out how to make this thing work. You’re also still getting used to the new normal of married life: having someone else around all the time; making major decisions together; splitting up chores and responsibilities between two people (and maybe more); spending lots of quality time together when you’d rather be doing something else; sleeping with someone who makes farting noises at night (or snores).
So far, so good! And there’s no reason why it won’t continue as long as both of you are willing and able to put in some effort.
You made it!
Congratulations! You made it through your wedding, and now you’re here in the first year of marriage. Congratulations as well on a whole year of having to deal with each other’s quirks and habits. Did he forget to take out the trash again? Did she drink all the milk straight from the carton like an asshole? You get through it because you love one another, but that doesn’t mean that your relationship doesn’t have its ups and downs.
But then again, even if you don’t always get along perfectly, there are still things that are just so important to be grateful for:
- You got married in front of all your family and friends
- Your parents didn’t disown either one of you after seeing how much money they sunk into this event (hopefully!)
Finally…
Congratulations on making it to the end of your first year as a married couple. Here’s to many more years together!
