Although some people might consider that one year is practically a spit in the bucket in the grand scheme of things, the truth is that celebrating your one year anniversary is nothing to be scoffed at!
It’s a special milestone and hopefully one of many in your happy future together. However, since you’ve never celebrated an anniversary together up until now, you may find yourself wondering what you should do.
Whether you want to keep it an intimate affair between just the two of you, or go all out and invite your friends, celebrating the occasion should bring you together as a couple.
To help you formulate a plan, here are some of the best ideas for making your one-year anniversary an unforgettable one.
Cook a Special Meal at Home
Celebrating at home can be just as special if you cook a special meal in a meaningful way. Just because you’re at home doesn’t mean you can’t clink your cocktail glasses together and say “cheers” to your big day.
Choose a dish that holds importance for you, like the first meal you ever shared together, or even something new that you’ve always wanted to try making. Light a few candles and play your favorite music, and turn your home into the perfect romantic setting.
If you’re not much of a cook, then this is the perfect opportunity to try out your culinary skills. Follow a recipe, or consider taking a cooking class together as a romantic and unique way to share an activity.
Recreate Your First Date
Recreating the magic of your very first date can be an incredibly fun and nostalgic way to celebrate your big milestone. Perhaps you met each other in a park, or you had coffee at a cafe.
Recreating the exact setting of when you first laid eyes on each other can be a fun way to bring back cherished memories and remind you of how far you’ve come as a couple. Whereas you were once practically strangers, now you’re celebrating a full year together which is something to be proud of!
Plan a Getaway
Planning a romantic getaway is one of the most popular ways that people choose to celebrate the anniversary of their relationship. Perhaps it could be getting on a plane and going somewhere you’ve always wanted to travel, or even simply going away for a weekend to a cozy cabin.
The idea is to change your scenery so that you step outside of your normal day-to-day lives and reconnect in a special and above all relaxing environment.
If you really want to knock the socks off of your partner, consider making it a surprise! There’s nothing like an unexpected getaway to inject a little fun and excitement into your relationship.
