5 Unique And Romantic Ways To Celebrate Anniversary At Home

We don’t really have to say it because everybody already knows- life is well, different right now. COVID-19 has turned everything topsy-turvy. However, that doesn’t mean that all celebrations have to be put on hold! For those of you celebrating major milestones during this time, we’ve got your back! Birthday, first anniversary, 10th anniversary… whatever it is, we’re challenging you to enjoy the time together at home.

You may be feeling down that you can’t go out to that fancy restaurant or take that exotic trip you were planning, so we’ve put together a full evening checklist of how you can celebrate your anniversary at home! Grab some candles, pop the champagne, and let’s do this! In fact, when the usual go-to activity is just going out to dinner, the extra time and creativity it takes to celebrate at home can make the milestone even sweeter.

Here is your 5-step checklist to the perfect evening at home!

* Decorate the House

GO ALL OUT! Set the dining room table, pull out that fancy wedding china, pick some flowers from the garden, light the candles, etc! Want to recreate the setting from your first date? Do it! Did you have a special theme from your wedding day? Get creative! You can find so many sweet decorations around the house to put together the perfect romantic setting.

* Cook and Bake Together

Cook your wedding dinner or bake your wedding cake! How sweet would it be to try and recreate your wedding reception meal together?! If you can’t do that, pick a meal that holds special significance. Did you have your Honeymoon in Italy? Make it a pasta night! First date at the local Mexican restaurant? Tacos!! It doesn’t have to be fancy as long as it speaks to you as a couple. Want to get outside? Why not make it a picnic?

* Get Dressed Up
Just because you’re not going out on the town doesn’t mean to can’t get dressed up! If you want to, it could even be fun to pull out your wedding dress and wear it again for the evening! Everyone always says they wish they could wear their gown more than once! You and your SO could even stage another first look moment. So sweet.

* Break Out the Wedding Album

Wouldn’t it be sweet to celebrate your anniversary by reminiscing about the day? Pull out your wedding photos and enjoy some time looking at them together. Remember each moment and why you’re so grateful to be with the other person. On the same note, watch your wedding video! You may not have even seen it for a while!

* Vow Renewal

Share your vows again. Since it’s just the two of you, you have a perfect opportunity to share this intimate moment together. Most likely, on wedding day, you shared your vows in front of dozens of people. It can be super special to renew the vows again with no one else around!
