Incredible Anniversary Event Ideas

If you’re fast approaching a milestone anniversary with your partner, chances are you want to celebrate it in style. It can be tricky coming up with ideas that can be special enough for the two of you. You might want to consider inviting all your friends and relatives to celebrate with you. Or perhaps you prefer to make this one all about you? There are lots of options, but if you’re still struggling for inspiration, don’t worry. We’ve got plenty of great ideas to choose from:

Huge Party
If you’ve ever been to a big wedding, then you know just how much planning and organization are required. Your anniversary event doesn’t have to be this grandiose, but if it is, you’ll need some help. Certainly, something of this magnitude will be difficult to keep a secret if you’re planning a surprise party. That doesn’t mean it’s impossible, but you will need some precision planning to keep your better half out of the way!


Party planners and event planners are the best people to approach when it comes to arranging something like this. Chances are they can find you a pretty good price for the catering and drinks as they’ll have preferred suppliers. It also guarantees a sleek operation delivered with the highest level of professionalism. If you don’t need to be involved in the preparations, you can easily distract your partner to keep the party a surprise.

Big events like this often have entertainers present to keep guests engaged. Anything from a classical quartet of musicians, to high octane performing artists, can be used. Even some celebrities are happy to take bookings for private parties, but they could charge quite high prices. If your partner is a big fan of a comedian or singer, why not contact their agent to find out if it’s affordable?

An Evening Out
There are plenty of choices should you prefer to celebrate out of the house. You can book some tickets for an all-time favorite show. Or perhaps you would prefer VIP access to your favorite night venue? To make the most of your evening, why not order a limo to drive you from place to place? You could also book into an exclusive five-star hotel or resort for an evening of luxury.


If your night out includes a fancy venue, then why not consider treating each other to a fabulous new outfit each? You can choose earrings for men and women that feature the gemstone relevant to the number of years you’ve been together. Add some gorgeous cufflinks, and a beautiful eternity ring, and you’ll be looking amazing. What will you both wear? Sexy cocktail dress and a three-piece-suit? Maybe something long and glamorous fit for a night at the opera?

Booking all your tickets in advance can help you secure the seats and tables you need. It also helps you to manage the timing for each venue more carefully. After all, you want to pack as much into your evening out as you possibly can. The same goes for child minding if you have any kids. Book your child-minder in plenty of time and ensure you’re happy for that person to stay the night (and the next morning) for you.

Vacation
Of course, your elaborate night out may be just one small part of a weekend getaway or even a full vacation. There is nothing wrong with taking your kids with you if you love the idea of celebrating your love with them. After all, you wouldn’t have those beautiful babies if it wasn’t for the love you shared with your partner. It can be wonderful to enjoy a vacation of a lifetime with the family you’ve created.


If the two of you want some alone time to celebrate the longevity of your relationship, then you might be looking to book a romantic getaway. Some of the most beautiful cities in the world are renowned for their romance. Paris and Venice are just two of them. You don’t have to go all the way to Europe though. What about New York, Honolulu, or Seattle? You can always find value-for-money romance packages to suit.

For the more adventurous couple, why not head into the wilderness and enjoy the quiet and isolation together? There are plenty of accommodation options in places that are very out of the way. Alternatively, you could camp out under the stars, enjoying the crisp air and fabulous view as you wait to enjoy the sunrise together.

Exchanging Gifts
Anniversaries are the perfect occasion to express your undying love for each other. You might also choose to show your thanks for all the wonderful memories you’ve accumulated together. Gifts and cards are one of the best ways to do this. They can often say so much more and mean much more than a few uttered words.

Perhaps you’ve been looking out for that one special item your partner would covet forever? Shopping for the perfect gift isn’t as hard as you think. You can pick up ideas on what they would really like by the magazines they read, the stores they window-shop, and the things they mention in passing. What is their passion in life? Could you buy something that would become the most appreciated gift they’ve ever received?


Once you’ve purchased and lovingly wrapped the gift, you need to find the perfect moment to present it. Perhaps you’re having an intimate evening in together to celebrate your anniversary? Hand it to them between the main and dessert course. Or maybe wait until the end of the meal to present the gift you have for them? Some couples like to exchange gifts first thing in the morning, especially if it’s a work day.

Dinner For Two
Perhaps your idea of the perfect anniversary celebration is an intimate dinner for two at home. There are plenty of ways you can make this the most special occasion, regardless of budget and venue. All you need is a fabulous menu, a little creativity in the kitchen, and candles to set the mood. Start with choosing your starter or appetizer. Every course should be a choice that you both really love. You could go for something extra special that you rarely treat yourselves to. Or maybe you simply want to replicate the dishes from your first date or your wedding?

Some background music can help to set the mood too. What songs really mean a lot to you both? Some years have passed since you first met, but that doesn’t mean you can’t reminisce as your first dance music plays in the background. You may have a couple of contemporary tracks with lyrics that describe just how you feel about each other today. Spend a little time putting together a playlist to accompany your meal.

This evening is just about the two of you, so turn off your phones, put away the laptop, and make the most of this quality time. Checking in with the kids, or making sure your parents got home safe will have to wait! Now you can sit holding hands, enjoying your most favorite food and the chance to talk about all those wonderful years you’ve had together. No doubt the conversation will turn to the next decade and how you’ll love growing old as a couple.

Statistics show that few relationships last. If you’ve made it this far, that really is worth celebrating and making a big fuss about. So go on! Have the day off, take a vacation, and make today the best day you’ve had as a couple so far.
