do you mark your wedding anniversary?

[thewomanwhothoughtshewasahat]

ours tomorrow and neither of us have so much as bought a card

Nope. We pretty much stopped years ago (or sometimes one of us will but fortunately neither of us minds if the other one doesn't).

However tis our 30th this year - do you think we should?

we did the same this year and I felt a little bit sad

it's ours on Monday and we are a bit skint & I a) have an appointment at the gynaecologist and b) am pregnant, sick, and can't drink
don't think this is going to be the most memorable one!
we usually just go out for a low key meal and maybe exchange cards. might make more of an effort for landmark ones though e.g.5th, 10th and DEFINITELY 30th Jan!

I usually buy a card. DH usually forgets and feels dreadful. Sometimes we go out for a meal, or just buy in something nice. I definitely think you should celebrate your 30th, JanH - that's such a great achievement. It'll be our 20th in three years time - I'd love to do something special, but not sure what.

Mine was yesterday. 8 years. We did do cards, but don't bother with presents, etc. We also wetnt out for a meal together last Saturday -a lthought hat wasn't actually planned forthat purpose; just the other couple had to pull out at last minute. I actually spent the day driving for 4.5 hours collecting y sister froma irport, taking her to my parents house and then driving home again...and then I cooked a meal for me, Dh and two o our (male) friends. So I was busy!

It'll be 10 years for us next year and may, possibly, be the first one we mark. Cards are a bit pointless, imho and cutesy couples out for anniversary dinners make me want to play a horrid trick on them

it's the only thing we really do mark. we don't buy into 'hallmark holidays' - don't do valentines, easter blahblahblah. we mark our anniversary by at least a meal out (the years i've been bfing) or a short city break - paris, amsterdam, venice (mmmm). again, we don't do cards. but we do make something of the day to mark our committment and love

Our 10th yesterday & I got DH a good card from Moonpig. He bought me a lovely bouquet & we're going to get away for a weekend but not for a couple of weeks cos of other commitments. We don't normally do anymore than a card. I'm also getting an eternity ring made to match my wedding ring which we had made but we're househunting, DD's starting school & DH is going back to college next month so we've been a bit lax about that but we'll get round to it.
Think we'd do something big for 30 tho' now that is an achievement. In fact 10s quite an achievement nowadays. Even I said it wouldn't last

No, infact I think we might have already missed it. We have been together so long and only married about 5 years ago.

we marked out 10th last year. but nothing this year. I think it's kind of nice not to, if that makes sense - we don't feel a massive need to, and know neither of us will offend the other. at the end of the day it's about what happens all year round

we buy each other a card and try and go out for dinner (only 5 years so probably not bored of it yet!)
We also get a few cards from a random and odd selection of people - his parents always (mine never!) and a few friends.

we decided to get married on the same date we met been married now 6yrs been together 11yrs
each year we go away for a night or weekend its just nice to treat ourselves to our time without the children and remember why we married
