that me and dh don't want to get each other wedding anniversary cars, as its a bit of a waste of time and money

[BBQSteak]

just seems a waste of time and money

time for us both to go and get a card and money wasted on them

or is the slippery slope of complacency?

we are going for a meal to celebtrate and mark the day

and I might get some flowers for the house/myself

We have a selection of valentine/anniversary cards the we just alternate. We write a message and put the year on it. It's interesting reading previous messages. Like a poster above, we always buy a new one for birthdays

I've never been a card person. I just get DH a gift and he does the same. :)

We could do with a new car and we were looking but we went to Paris for our wedding anniversary instead so can't have a new car now - but we'll always have Paris

We've never done cards for our anniversary.

We don't, but we always try to do something nice together. We take it in turns to arrange.
9 years on Wednesday.

We get each other presents for the anniversary but not cards.

As for cars, I'm still waiting for my anniversary Audi! I suspect I'll be waiting a long time.

I expect MIL will be getting a gold plated Rolls next year as it is their 50th

Cards for people you see every day is a particularly British thing.

My sister's British PIL exchange Christmas cards with each other while sitting in the same room. We all find it mildly bizarre.

My DP and I do exchange cards however my parents (married for nearly 50 years) never have done.

I did ask my mum once if she minded. She moans if he started now she'd be worried.

Dh and I don't do cards but he takes the day off work and we have a lunch together whilst the DCs are in school. Family birthdays are everyone together so this is our little time alone (suddenly remembers we have meals alone together in the day throughout the year as well just for kicks)

What was always sweet was my MIL always bought us an anniversary card whereas my family only marked the big anniversary milestones. So each year we would have either one card or several, none of which were from me and Dh

We always forget which day it is! (Either 28th or 29th Dec) but last year was our 25th and we rented a whole Youth Hostel for two nights and had the most wonderful party with family and friends. We didn't buy any cards for one another though!

It's our 19th anniversary today! We do give each other a card & will go out with the kids this evening for a pub tea.
Not overly extravagant really!

we don't do presents or fancy things, but we do do cards

this year it was great that we gave each other exactly the same card

We don't do much but fil always slips us fifty quid and takes the kids so we can go out for a meal

35 years coming up. We stopped at about year 4. We both agreed to just keep the cards we had exchanged that year and present them the following year.

it is quite a tradition now, and the cards are vintage

Always go for a meal though!

Thats an expensive typo.

DH and I just had our 25th wedding anniversary which consisted of 'oh yeah, happy anniversary love'

Probably ought to do something really.

We don't "do" our anniversary or valentine's day either. What for? We did go to Venice for the weekend for our 10th anniversary, and will probably continue to do something special for the big ones. Just year-on-year, nah.

No cards. I forget the date most years. Just not sentimental like that, at all.
