Anniversary Ideas!

[Carlis]

Hi ladies. My husband and I are about to have our 1 year wedding anniversary!! I am so happy you have no idea. I really want to do something really special and something that will shock him. I was planning on buying rose petals because I just love them and I love the way they decorate. I am not quite sure what should I do to him. Do you have any suggestion?

Do you mean with the rose petals? If you got him a gift, you could put the gift in your bedroom and have the rose petals lead a trail from the front door to the room.

Ohhh, i like that idea!! :D

I really like that idea too! I will definitely do that. However, do you have any extra idea of something else I can do to him, something really romantic.

Your are looking for ideas of something to do "to" him? That is a personal thing that might need to be discussed in our private forum ;)

I am looking for romantic ideas something that will definitely surprise him

I read something somewhere online about sending different romantic cards and love notes every day starting a week or so from the anniversary date.

Sort of a sexy twist to this would be to get several new pieces of lingerie and take pictures of yourself in them and put in each card. Then have a sexy fashion show for him on the anniversary night. Or let him pic his favorite and where it that night ;)

*Here are some more I found online -

1. Take them out for a romantic nighttime picnic. Find a spot that overlooks an amazing view, like a natural lake or cityscape, or the top of a tall hill. Create a beautiful backdrop with the view you choose.

Pack your picnic full of goodies that you know your partner loves. Like wine, chocolate covered strawberries, hot chocolate, cookies, a salad or some homemade sandwiches.

2. Make them a home cooked candlelight dinner. Try these tips to make it extra special:

* Enhance the mood by playing romantic songs in the background

* Dim the lights and have candles create a romantic glow

* Fill the room with their favorite type of flowers

* Scatter rose peddles on the dinner table

3. Bring back fond memories by taking your partner back to the place that you had your first date. Recreate it. Make everything that you do the exact same as that special night. Recreate all of the tiniest little details, such as music you listened to, places you went, the car you drove, etc.

Pay close attention to all the small details. The more thought your partner will know you put into it.

4. Secretly take your partner on a surprise romantic weekend getaway.
To make it a surprise, make it seem like you're taking them on a usual day trip that's not very exciting. Then take them to the airport and surprise them with the tickets to the romantic destination of their dreams.
To make it all run smooth, you can pre-pack their things, and arrange for them to have time off at work.

5. Gather up all of the old pictures ever taken of the two of you and make a romantic photo album or scrapbook. This gift is very thoughtful, and can be done by you alone, or you can spend an evening making it together. When you're done, the album should be full of special memories the two of you can cherish forever.

6. Take your partner to the neighborhood that they grew up in. Let them see their old home, where they went to school, and any other places they have mentioned over the years. This should bring back a flood of precious memories for them that they can share with you.

7. Show up at their work with an oversized box of chocolates and flowers. Do it right in front of everyone so they will all see. But only do it if they will like the special attention. Don't do it if they are the type of person that will get embarrassed.

8. Create a romantic bedroom makeover. Its probably something your partner will never expect.

Use soft and silky fabrics, rose peddles, scented candles, romantic music, and top it all off with an intimate sensual massage.

9. Go for a romantic photo shoot together. This will give you sensual and romantic photos that will last a lifetime! (A common favorite are black and white photos). You can make them as sexy, or romantic as you like.

There are lots of photographers to choose from. So search around until you find one that suites what you're looking for.

10. Print some free romantic love coupons to give to your partner. They're fun and flirty, and you can find them for free (see the website below). Or you can purchase them at any love store. Not only are they thoughtful, but you can customize them and choose to print off whichever romantic gestures you like.

This is what I will probably do. I don't think I will be able to find enough photos but what I would like to do is to gather pics of us together at all the major events since we've been together and make a book in chronological order. I would love to find one photo from every month we've been together, but I'm pretty sure they don't exist. After our wedding I think I will make sure I have photos of us from every month and try to do an anniversary book with them.

You could also do a combination of the above plans, like go for a night picnic, present him with an album and then come home to spunked-up bedroom! Something personal to the two of you is probably the way to go...

Good luck and congrats!!
