Celebrating an anniversary? Make this the year that you WoW your partner. Here are some romantic ideas to help make the surprise even more special.
Anniversary Countdown Why only celebrate for one day? This year do an anniversary countdown. Place a note on your partner’s pillow every morning. Inside put a clue about how you will celebrate your big night. Then, on the day of your anniversary, reveal your surprise plan. Love Letters Pick out beautiful stationery and write a sweet love note to your partner. You could also put a message in a bottle and send it through the mail! If you saved old e-mails or letters from when your love was new, print a few and give your Significant Other one note each day leading up to your big day. relive your Wedding When was the last time you watched your wedding video? Set up a candlelight dinner in front of the TV and revisit the most romantic day of your life. You could even pick up a simple white cake to feed to each other like you did on your wedding day. No matter how you celebrate, your anniversary should be special. Just like your wedding, treasure this special day every single year. Gift-Giving ideas Get your wedding rings engraved with a special anniversary message. Pick out a second set of wedding rings. They don’t have to be elaborate, but just an extra set to say I love you, again. If your first set was traditional, choose something modern. Or get matching watches, especially on the 15th anniversary (see Anniversary Gifts, opposite page).th
