Anniversary Celebration Ideas that Break out of the Norm

We all fall into routines in our daily lives because of commitments to work schedules, career choices, child and senior care, studies and much else. Yet anniversary celebrations can help us reconnect not just with each other. Seeking out something new, something beautiful or something that helps us feel more attuned to ourselves and more engaged with our significant other is exactly what we look for on an anniversary. Here are some Anniversary Celebration Ideas that Break out of the Norm. 

Renew the art of communication

Anniversaries should always be marked with a special gift. If you are unsure, there is an anniversary list by year that offers traditional and modern gift ideas as well as gems and colours for every year from those celebrating everything from a first anniversary to eighty (oak) years. These gifts can be items to treasure or gifts that nurture your relationship or create precious memories. 

There are packs of cards with questions for couples to ask each other that you may never have thought to ask before.  These can lead to long discussions that focus entirely on you as individuals and as a couple, which makes for a really special time. It’s a fun game, you can pick a card on a long car journey or whilst you are on the beach and keeps up to speed with our partner’s opinions and ideas as they change over time. 

Take a spontaneous road trip

Take a long weekend road-trip and stop at random places on the way. This no-destination trip will see you stay at a nice hotel in the evening, even though you will be looking at the last minute.  Have fun by following a billboard sign that sounds intriguing or weird to see where you end up, whether a family-run orchard, duck rescue centre or an artist’s showroom. If a signpost piques your interest, it’s likely you will have a good story at the end of it. 

A road trip doesn’t always need a car, take your bicycles out on a bike path and connect with nature again. It is great for relieving stress and will have you feeling energised. solid workout and a great way to clear your head! Pack up some snacks and a tent if you fancy camping under the stars. So, enjoy the escape from your everyday routine and recharge together, enjoying the moment. 

Double date

Celebrating your anniversary with others in a fun double date means you are much more likely to stick with plans, but it also has another interesting side-effect. Research has shown that when couples celebrate with another couple, it increases the passion felt within couples more than if the couple were alone. So, however, you want to celebrate your anniversary, seeing your friends at the same time, will make this a special event. 

Film festival

Rather than a date at the movies, head for a film festival for something a bit more special. Here you can meet film directors and actors in Q&A sessions or see the premiere of independent movies. A time for capturing some fabulous photographs, autographs and memories to last a lifetime. 

Trapeze Class

Have a fun competition to see which couple does best in class. A trapeze class could test your nerves to the limit… feel the fear and do it anyway! If heights make you queasy, take on another class, from Zumba to cookery to learning Swahili. Find something that you can enjoy together for the rest of the year. 

Rent a private room for Karaoke

When celebrating with friends, rent out a private room for Karaoke if you are concerned the entire bar will be throwing lemons at you as you warble your favourite tune. You can pick a theme and dress for the occasion. Then head to a rooftop bar or restaurant to celebrate your anniversary with a spectacular view.
