How do you celebrate wedding anniversaries?

[KitKat1985]

Do you always mark the occasion somehow, or not really?

Mine and DH's was at the weekend and we did cards and a nice takeaway together in the evening, but we have two young DDs so overall it was fairly low key. I know some people though who don't mark the occasion at all, and others who always make a big thing out of them.

Just made me wonder whether most people celebrate them or not, and if so how?

We celebrate. Usually cards and a nice meal out. Not always on the day, as dh can be working, but around the day.

This year we'll do something a bit bigger, like weekend away, as it's our 25th anniversary - can hardly believe it!

Not married but we celebrate the anniversary of when we started dating. This year we've combined our anniversary (today actually) with DS's first holiday so have spent the week in Lanzarote! Going for a nice meal out tonight.

Usually one plans an activity while the other buys a gift and vice versa for Valentine's day so we're both contributing the same amount each year.

We've never bothered!
We usually forget. Last year DP said at around 21.00hrs,'Hey, it's our anniversary today!' So we just said Happy anniversary to each other and had a kiss!

We usually forget!
However this year it’s our Silver and so we’re having an extra special holiday long haul, and having an Afternoon Tea at a posh hotel for family and a few friends.

We usually forget until a card arrives from MIL. By which time we can't be arsed to do anything.

We try and get away, just the two of us. Depending on what age/how broke we were, that was everything from staying home and pampering each other, camping, cabin in the woods, hotel, etc
Focusing on each other is free, everything else is logistics

We've never really bothered, if we think about it we might go out but it's not a top priority. We will probably make an effort for 25 years. We're not big on birthdays either.

First three years we were on holiday. Not planned to be away then it just worked out then.

Then mostly forgot. Will be our 10th in 2021. Might do a childfree long weekend for that one.
