Anniversary Ideas?
Why hello there everyone!
I hope I'm doing this right... I think this is one of the first forums I'm making, but it is basically as the title says. Next month will mark one year of me being with my special someone. I know it doesn't seem that big, but this is the longest steady relationship that I have been in. It is also the happyest relationship I have ever been in. So, I thought it would be nice to ask all of you. I was thinking maybe lunch or dinner... Maybe a movie? Maybe staying home and watching a movie? Other ideas: -Picnic -Dinner -Movie -Gift -Blindfolded Dinner -Just Spend Time! -Treat Them To Something -Bake him something What would you do for a one year anniversary? What do you do for any anniversary? What have you or someone else done for an anniversary? Anything else related to the topic? I love hearing all of these! |
Anniversaries.
I know how that is, I never know what to do for my anniversary either. Though my relationship is long distance and we are never together in real life during our anniversary because we're both in college classes at that time. We're together now because it's summer and sometimes at Christmas. But never our anniversary. >_< But if we were together or are ever lucky enough to be together that day, I'd definitely do something special. Dinner sounds like a nice idea. Or really going anywhere nice or fun. I think I would go somewhere with my boyfriend. Maybe buy him a gift or something. I am hoping we will get to do something for our tenth anniversary at least (that will be in two years). XD

I have not been good at deciding how to celebrate those things. most people i know sisn't do much for those days except go out to dinner or some thing.
|
Wow O_O Congrats Vickicat! 8 years and in a long distance relationship. I haven't heard of many of those working out!
Dinner still sounds like a pretty good idea... |
I think, for a one year anniversary, I would throw a picnic. If it was indoors, because it was too hot/cold, I would light candles everywhere, spread a blanket out on the floor, and fix some of his favorite foods. Even cheeseburgers and fries can be romantic, if presented right ;)
If it was outdoors, I'd do everything the same but the candles. Personally, I would prefer outdoors, somewhere you could just chat and watch the sunset. For a present, I would buy him something inexpensive that he could really use. Maybe a new wallet, game control accessory, sports equipment, something that says "I know you, I know what you like, I'm happy with you, and I'm comfortable with you". |
For my 1-year anniversary with my first serious boyfriend, I baked him his favorite muffins and brought a huge batch of them to school. :]
And I am planning my 1-year with my current loverboyman. It's on December 7th <3 (omg! one of our month anniversaries landed on my birthday XD I shat bricks when I realized that) What I'm going to do is make an animation of how we met and came to be to one of his favorite love songs, and put it on youtube. We met online thanks to a good friend of mine (She knew him in real life) and I went to the opening night of a play he was an extra in so we could meet face to face.. and we kind of fell really fast and hard when we met in real life. Since we had talked on the internet so long before meeting, that's why its an internet gift :3 |
That picnic idea sounds super romantic, and like a very good idea. My one friend and her boyfriend sat in the park with a portable DVD player and watched movies. (I forgot about that one!)
I'm not sure of what to get him though... I've given him shirts before (and a few of them were too small...) and a stupid Super Nintendo game xD For one year though, I'm also thinking about giving him a box of Lemonhead and writing "The lemon is illogical" on it. I misheard him while he was talking about things that people think are illogical, but really aren't. He said "Women" I thought he said "Lemon" Quote:
That animation of when you met sounds like it will turn out amazing! Goodluck! |
Ra Fortuna.. Hahah
You should do the lemon thing anyway. He'll like it, I'm sure :] |
Yes, I think I will actually do the lemon idea no matter what ^^
I think I'm going to edit the first post again to include these other ideas... If I can do that... |
Hmm... maybe make their favorite meal, blindfold them, and feed it to them =) I personally think that would be fun. Or maybe buy/make their favorite candy and do that... :drool: I might just go do that someday...

Anniversaries are always fun.
I've always given gifts to my SO on our anniversary normally something he's wanted all year but can't find the time to purchase for himself or doesn't want to spend the money. A lot of times I cook different fancy meals on our anniversary but dinner or a picnic sounds awesome. Really it should be all about spending time with one another and just enjoying yourselves. If it's not a surprise why not mention it to him and see what he wants to do also. I'm thinking when my anniversary comes up just sitting around the house watching movies and playing video games. It seems simple and everyday but I know the hub will love it. |
Just do something you enjoy together~
also gifts. Gifts are a must. |
oooo.. your anniversary is next month?? What date? My 5th year anniversary is next month also. on the 12th hehe Funny enough, on my 1st year anniversary with my bloke, we went to a mates place after school & they played need for speed XD It was ok. cause the next day we went out for a nice long walk & just spent time with each other That's what i loved the most. he also made me a little box & painted it with a purple dragon on it. It was beautiful. at the time i didn't have a job. but we just hung out & watched movies. it was nice. each one we have had. we have either gone out for a walk, dinner, movie, something, but the best present was the company. This anniversary, i think we are maybe going out for dinner & spending the night together.. Talk. & just do all that mushy stuff lol seeing money is a little scarce these days lol. |
I like Kaze-Bear's idea.. feeding them their favs :drool:
(I might actally do that, along with my animation idea. I'll bring him to my house and feed him vegetable curry [which would be a new thing to him] while having him watch the animation.. nom nom nom Another great thing would to just spend time with them, and instead of having them treat you to everything, do the things they normally would do. (Like on my man's birthday, instead of him buying me a subway sammich, I bought him one.. lulz we hang out almost everyday after school and get something to eat) |
That cooking thier favorites and blindfolding them sounds fun. It would be even more comical if I didn't remove the blindfold and actually fed him xD
All of you have such cute stories!~ I hope we grow to have more of those cute stories to share. Me and him that is. Xrabbite, Your avi is looking pretty awesome! I normally try to get him stuffon special occasions or whenever else. I don't really like him spending money on me, so then I spend money on him so we are even. V I X E N, O__O We have the same anniversary! I can remember it because that was the night I was supposed to see Wicked, but my friend didn't have enough tickets. He asked me earlier the week (in person) If I would date him... I needed a tiny bit of time to think, but I wanted to answer him in person. So I went to his house on the 12th and answered his question xD I'm not sure if I want this to be a suprize or not... |
Well Me and my boyfriend made an entire weekend out of our one year (and our two year)
You should bake him something, men have sweet teeth :3 Well he took me to an amusement park as well (which may/may not be an option) Guys like things that are homemade, so food, cooking him a dinner, maybe even making him a scrapbook of memories. :3 That is pretty much the only advice I can give hun </3 |
The scrap book of memories sounds interesting, and I have yet to hear of one of those. When I started dating him though, I sort of started writing in a composition book just for him... He claims to like my writing, and I write all of the things I still have trouble just telling him. I have communication issues.
I must add baking to the list! I don't think I could make a whole weekend out of it though... And I don't have the money to go to an amusment park right now... Still, it was a good idea. Thank you for the advice ^^ |
