Make Your Anniversary One You’ll Never Forget With These Date Ideas

Wedding anniversaries come with built-in gift suggestions. For your first anniversary, they say, you should gift your partner something with "paper"; for your fourth anniversary it's "fruit or flowers" — most are pretty straightforward, but something like "tin" (for your 10th anniversary) can be tricky. Even more tricky is what you and your partner should do for these momentous occasions. Especially if you're not a naturally romantic or creative person. But don't be discouraged.

Whether you’re celebrating your wedding anniversary, the anniversary of your first date, or the anniversary of the day you defined the relationship, we have some suggestions that'll hopefully spark the romantic in you. Keep in mind that the date should be all about what you and your partner like — some people would love a skydiving date but hate going out to a romantic restaurant, and vice versa.

Go back to the bar, cafe, or ice cream stand where you had your first date and reflect on how far you’ve come.
