Motivational story
For me personally, my grandparents have always been an example of a not ideal, but very worthy union. They walked hand in hand for just over 50 years. Granny has a complex character, she most work experience, she held senior positions at an industrial enterprise. You understand that a woman boss has an inner core and does not accept attacks on her authority.The now deceased grandfather was calm, like a monolithic rock. If his wife was late at work, he prepared the food himself, taught homework to the children, and later to the grandchildren, and put the offspring to bed. And this is after a shift at the mine face! There were times when my grandmother lacked Moorish passion, and then there was a huge scandal. Grandfather had two places where he waited out the storm - a garage with a moped and a small bet on the outskirts of the city.
Seeing the gathering clouds from a distance, the grandfather loudly announced: “Ninochka, I’m repairing a moped” or “Darling, I’m going fishing.” As long as I can remember, the ill-fated moped was constantly being repaired and traveled a maximum of 2 kilometers for the entire year, and then only with the purpose of testing freshly blown spark plugs, which, naturally, after the test did not meet the strict requirements of the old biker. By the way, there were no fish in the local reservoir.
Ninotchka’s flurry of emotions subsided after a couple of hours. During this time, she put things in order in the house, prepared a bunch of goodies, and planted flowers in a chaotic manner in the front garden (often on top of previously broken flower beds). Grandfather would come either covered in fuel oil or with crucian carp bought at the market, and an idyll would reign in the house again.
Yes, Nina and Lenya were different. She is a bit of a wild restless woman and a woman who goes headlong towards her goals. He is a classic example of an intellectual, a man with two higher degrees, who by chance happens to work in a mine. However, they knew how to get along. Over many years of marriage, they looked at each other without false embellishments and self-deception. While my grandmother was building a career, my grandfather was her support, a strong and reliable rear. Already at a more conscious age I noticed with what admiration they talked about family life. At such moments, the understanding came that, despite the difference in temperaments, grandma and grandpa were happy.
So, if you have a marriage anniversary coming up or a date that marks the beginning of a relationship, then try to make it unforgettable. All this time, your significant other put up with your shortcomings, supported, cared for and loved. Look at yourself from the outside, you are not a gift either. Forget all the grievances and thank your partner for existing. I offer 20 ideas for the most romantic holiday.
1. Sing karaoke
It’s not without reason that the lion’s share of songs are written about love. She inspires talented people, but I’m petty, even ordinary people who have opened their hearts to this wonderful feeling also feel inspired. Everyone knows this sweet intoxication, when for the sake of the only thing you are ready to move mountains, compose a poem and sing a serenade. The latter can be taken as an idea for an anniversary celebration. Make a playlist together. Let it include romantic songs or hits with which pleasant memories are associated. Head to your nearest karaoke bar and express your love through music.
2. Do some cooking together
As practice shows, in a marriage, mainly one partner cooks, and the other shows the skill of a chef only in exceptional situations. Most a budget option– create a menu and cook together at home. It is a little more expensive to sign up for a master class for couples. In any case, this activity is incredibly uniting, you will get to know your loved one better and become much more united, like a real team from a television show.
3. Go to the pub
Now you will say that it is not romantic to go to bars on your anniversary. I have several weighty arguments in store that will convince you. Firstly, such a step will create the illusion of youth. Remember how, during your student days, an open-air cheburek bar was already considered an excellent place for a date? Here we have neither more nor less, but a full-fledged pub. Secondly, many decent drinking establishments brew delicious beer; it can never compare with bottled and canned beer. Thirdly, a good bar has a cozy atmosphere conducive to romance: a beautiful interior, muffled music, twilight.
4. Have a good laugh
A sense of humor is a powerful aphrodisiac that reflects the level of intelligence of the interlocutor. Both women and men note that cheerful partners are much sexier. Buy a couple of tickets to a stand-up comedian performance or a KVN game. The evening will pass easily and carefree, you will completely forget about everyday problems and sorrows. Having laughed a lot with your loved one, you can continue the celebration in bed. A high concentration of endorphin in the blood will provide an amazing orgasm. 
5. Play director
The rules are incredibly simple. You stock up on wine, slice cheese and fruit, download a movie in a foreign language without translation or subtitles. It is advisable to choose the art-house genre or the results of the efforts of conceptual participants in international film festivals (so that the action on the screen is dynamic and psychedelic). The task is to predict events, characters’ actions and identify the main plot thread. You will not notice how you will get involved and begin to build logical chains and voice the most incredible guesses. These three or four hours (about how long films “not for everyone” last) will fly by like a minute.
6. Have a double date
There is nothing better than sharing your joy. If you know a couple, then arranging a double date would be a great idea. To set the style of the event and make it more interesting, divide according to gender. You and your girlfriend will go to your apartment to dress up and preen, and send your spouse with her things to a friend. At exactly the appointed time, the men will knock on the doors and pick up the ladies for a romantic rendezvous. The reaction of your significant other will shock you to the core. This psychological phenomenon is called the “magician effect.” It has been proven that when a person does not see the entire kitchen from the inside, he perceives the result with a greater emotional response. This applies to everything from cooking to assembling tractors. In this case, the husband will not observe the process of plucking eyebrows, applying makeup and ironing the formal dress. You will appear before him in all your glory and will blow him away.
7. Give a sensual massage
Make some flyers for private massage sessions. Not necessarily erotic, although one does not interfere with the other. You will act as a massage therapist, and your partner will transform into a client. Be sure to use special oils, this will reduce friction and make stroking more enjoyable. Apply a little product to warm palms and spread the lubricant over the entire surface of your back. For 5-10 minutes, simply move your hands over your body, relaxing stiff muscles. Then focus on specific areas: shoulders, cervical spine, shoulder blades, spine, lower back, buttocks...
8. Invite him to a surprise dinner
The key word is "unexpected". Invite your spouse on a “blind date.” Don't tell us where you are going until the last moment. It is advisable to choose a place that both of you have not been to. Have you dreamed of trying a specific cuisine? - Then book a table at an Indian or Thai restaurant. Don't give your partner any hints, just tell them the dress code. There is no need to be blindfolded, call a taxi and quietly tell the driver the address and let him take a roundabout route. Believe me, guys love riddles.
Every city has its own witch. People flock to her every day in search of advice, consolation, and some ask to bewitch a sweetheart or remove the crown of celibacy. Even if you both don't believe in magic, going to a fortune teller together will be an exciting experience. Imagine, she looks at your palms, rolls her eyes theatrically and whispers in a voice that is not her own: “Your life lines are intertwined. You have been together in past reincarnations and will be together in future ones. You will have wonderful children. you will build big house" Even if this is just a show for gullible fools, a little magic in our overly rational world will not hurt. 
10. Listen to sexy music
Jazz was created by the Devil himself. It is erotic, dynamic and at the same time viscous, like molasses. The sounds of saxophones and the plucking of double basses have a strong stimulating effect, the languid voice of the vocalist penetrates the soul. Butterflies begin to flutter in the stomach, blood rushes to the most intimate places. Close your eyes and dive into the dark depths of the Mariinsky Trench of jazz, there you will find the elixir of eternal love. Dim club lighting and a few glasses of wine will complete the voluptuous picture. 
Anniversary relations- always a joyful event that you want to celebrate in such a way that it leaves a lot of good impressions for the rest of your life. Especially if this holiday occurs for the first time, that is, it is the year since the birth of your love. Many couples around the world are racking their brains over what exactly they can do on this significant day and how to please their significant other. Depending on your financial capabilities, you can come up with many ways to make this whole day bright and unique.
1) Quite a lot steam They prefer to go on some kind of trip on this day. In this case, the celebration will last not one day, but several days, and maybe weeks. If you have thought in advance that during this period you will both take a vacation from work, and you already liked the tickets on the travel agency’s website, feel free to go on a trip. In this case, there is no doubt that you will subsequently remember this anniversary for many years to come.
Which one exactly? country to go, you must decide together. These can be hot countries if you both love the sea, the beach and the scorching sun. More romantic places will be Rome, France, Venice, where you will admire beautiful architectural structures, walk along the alleys and arrange constant photo sessions for each other.
2) Also memorable It will be an anniversary celebration if you both decide to do something extreme on this day. For example, you want to jump from a parachute. If neither you nor your partner suffer from a pathological fear of heights and flying, and have long dreamed of doing this, but everyone did not dare, now is the most suitable moment for this. In addition to the parachute, you can come up with other risky entertainment, for example, participating in street racing. However, while you are overwhelmed with positive emotions, you should not forget about the safety measures that must be observed while participating in these events.
3) If you don't amateurs If you want a thrill, but you don’t yet have enough money to travel, arrange an outing into nature. Regardless of the weather conditions, time spent outdoors will seem like an incredibly romantic activity. However, this way of celebrating is only suitable if you both love nature. There is no need to surprise your loved one without taking into account his wishes, but guided only by your own ideas. In nature, you can sit near the fire, remember the pleasant moments from your relationship, watch the sunrise, and just enjoy the peace and quiet, as if there were only two of you in this world.
4) Despite Even if the idea of spending your relationship anniversary in a restaurant or cafeteria seems terribly banal and boring to you, you can apply it. It is not necessary to sit at the table all the time, eating the ordered dishes and drinking a glass of wine. You can find out in advance what program is expected that evening at the establishment where you are going to go. Very often, many restaurants host live performances by musicians. You can listen to compositions that remind you of the days of your first meetings, acquaintances, sing along with the performers or spin in a romantic dance while in each other’s arms. All this will not be boring, unlike your usual trips to catering places.
5) Photo session can be perceived, rather, not as a way to spend a holiday, but as a gift. Photos are memories for life; you will look at them after a huge amount of time, show them to your children and grandchildren. And professional photographs taken by a true master of his craft are a pleasant memory. Give your other half such an unforgettable experience, and she or he will definitely appreciate it.
6) Special in advance an organized theatrical performance can brighten up even an ordinary dinner in a restaurant. If you are a creative person or just a cheerful person whose mind is constantly churning original ideas, come up with a scenario for your holiday. It is not necessary to invite professional artists to perform the roles, spending a lot of money on this pleasure; you can ask your friends or acquaintances to play along with you, then the holiday will definitely be a success.
Perhaps every man at some point meets a woman with whom the relationship lasts not a couple of months, but a year, two, or even his whole life. You will live everyday life together, celebrate general holidays, and at the same time you will have your own special days - anniversaries. Women tend to be more sentimental and remember the date they met, first kiss and wedding better than men. But if your chosen one is dear to you, then some important dates are still worth remembering (or writing down) and delighting her with a surprise.
A sign of attention on a special day will only strengthen your relationship. To quickly come up with interesting gift, you can use any of these ideas.
Confession under the windows
This way of expressing your feelings is no longer original, however, if nothing else has been thought of, then you can take note of it. It is more suitable for very young people, but they are used to it. If you are in mature age, then your other half will most likely be very surprised. Everything is very simple here: some kind of romantic confession is written with paints on the wall or on the road under the beloved’s window. The next morning she looks out the window, sees him and rejoices.
- pros. Cheap, romantic and exciting. After all, the police can easily pick you up while you write your opus. Or your girlfriend’s neighbors will throw eggs from their windows. In general, if everything works out, know that you have accomplished a small feat.
- Minuses: The walls of houses in our country are rarely painted, and the asphalt is renewed even less often. Therefore, most likely, your recognition will decorate the yard for many years. And perhaps a moment will come when it will become irrelevant. It won't be easy to get rid of him.
Flowers delivery
Probably all the girls have seen in American melodramas how the main character is brought a huge bouquet of flowers, and in it there is a small card with the name of the sender and beautiful words. IN real life This doesn’t happen often, so this gift can be taken into account. In some flower shops, bouquets are delivered by cute couriers in suits. Such a presentation will only enhance the impression. The bouquet itself, of course, should also be a work of art, so look for a florist with good taste.
- pros. Any woman will appreciate such a gift, and the non-trivial presentation will be a reason to remember it for a long time.
- Minuses. A cute courier can become a hindrance to your relationship. So it's better to hire a scary girl. (Joke.)
Slavery game
Treat your beloved to a delicious breakfast right in the morning, and then tell her that today is the day of her wishes, which you will gladly fulfill. If your girlfriend is modest, then you will get off easy. But if she is imaginative, then brace yourself - there are only 24 hours in a day.
- pros. Perhaps a miracle will happen and your wishes with your sweetheart will be the same. There is also a chance that you will be able to afford them. Well, if you are asked to perform women’s duties around the house all day, then don’t be upset either - finally, you will arrange everything in your own way.
- Minuses. If you are very proud, then you are unlikely to like fulfilling women's whims all day. But once you’ve made up your mind, you’ll have to be patient.
City quest
IN Lately Various kinds of games have become fashionable, in which participants follow clues and complete simple tasks to look for some kind of “treasure”. On your anniversary, you can do something similar for your girlfriend. Figure out where you will hide the gift, and then develop a thorny and interesting route to get there. If your girlfriend loves puzzles, then she will definitely appreciate your work.
- Pros. Mystery is always exciting.
- Minuses. Remember that tasks should be solvable, and the route should not be very long. Otherwise, your girlfriend will get tired, angry or upset. In general, when organizing such games, it is better to immediately give the participant a telephone number that they can call in case of difficulties.
Romantic picnic
Did your wedding take place in the warm season? Great, then you can celebrate it in a romantic setting in nature. In other words, have a picnic. Tasty food, Fresh air And beautiful design will do their job - you will have a great rest. You can take a professional photographer with you for a couple of hours, who will capture your beautiful self.
- Pros. Romantic, healthy and relatively cheap (if you don’t need a photographer).
- Minuses. The weather can ruin your fun. Check the long-term forecast, but of course there is always a risk of sudden rain or wind.
Dinner at the restaurant
Find a good restaurant and invite your lover there. Let it be a place that you have never been to before, or it should be somehow connected with the occasion of the celebration. Give her something there, tell her beautiful words, and the anniversary will be a great success.
- Pros. In a good restaurant, the staff will do everything for you, all you have to do is pay for the fun.
- Minuses. The restaurant may not live up to expectations.
Photo session with a professional photographer
Today we are very actively sharing our photos on in social networks, our friends watch them and evaluate how we look and live. Therefore, it is not surprising that many girls dream of having their photographic portraits taken by a professional photographer. So a certificate for a photo shoot can be a great gift. By the way, you can find a suitable photographer in the “Catalog” section on our website.
- Pros. You will have excellent portrait shots and photographs together, and the photo session itself, with the help of your imagination, can be turned into an exciting event.
- Minuses. A professional photo shoot is not a cheap pleasure. And it is possible that before her, your girlfriend will want to buy some new clothes or go to the salon. It also happens that the result of a photo shoot is not satisfactory. To prevent this from happening, carefully choose a photographer, and then together with your beloved, decide what kind of photo session you want. After all, shooting in an interior photo studio is one thing, but outdoors is completely different.
Overnight at the hotel
One of the most interesting options celebrate the anniversary. Firstly, the situation itself is conducive to a romantic mood - the two of you come to the hotel, rent a beautiful room, order drinks and food there, light candles. The situation is unfamiliar, there is no need to solve everyday issues. Secondly, you will know for sure that no one will disturb you. It is better to turn off mobile phones in advance.
- Pros. Unusual, intimate atmosphere.
- Minuses. The cost of such a holiday can be very high. But it all depends on the hotel, of course.
Big screen for two
Rent a cinema hall for one session. Order the movie you want. You can sit anywhere and be completely alone. A romantic atmosphere is guaranteed.
- Pros. This will be a very unusual date.
- Minuses. The girl may not like the film. Or vice versa - you will like it too much and she will forget that you are sitting next to her.
Secret party
Invite your best friends and throw a party. Of course, keep everything secret until the appointed day. In the morning, pretend that you forgot about the anniversary. And in the evening, bring her to where the holiday will take place. Bring your girlfriend into the hall with your eyes closed.
- Pros. A holiday made in your honor, but without your participation in the preparation, is always pleasant.
- Minuses. Take a responsible approach to compiling the list of invitees; one “wrong” person can ruin everything. And buy your girlfriend an outfit suitable for the holiday.
Romantic trip
This is the most exciting anniversary gift option. A walk through the streets of Prague or a kiss on the Eiffel Tower in Paris, or a ride on a Venetian gondola - everything is wonderful, choose what you like best. You'll have a great time.
- Pros. Such a holiday will be remembered for a long time, unless, of course, you fly to Paris every weekend.
- Minuses: Pleasure is not cheap.
Of course, not all ways to celebrate an anniversary are listed here. You yourself can come up with many more interesting things. By the way, some of the described options can be combined. Have a great holiday and happy anniversary!
Friends! As an experienced person (I’m in my 22nd year of marriage), I’ll tell you honestly! This wedding anniversary cannot be ignored, since every year your wedding date will become less and less noticeable. Probably, we ourselves are to blame for this; saving drowning people in everyday life is the business of the drowning people themselves, but the fact remains a fact.
Yes, it has only been 1 year since your wedding, but it was the first year of a small family whose birthday needs to be celebrated!
Wedding Anniversary Ideas
In order not to mix everything into one pile, let's first choose the format of the event. There are two options:
- you are celebrating just the two of you (see the collection of ideas for this occasion)
- you invite family and friends (just below are some more tips for such a holiday)
Only for two...
A huge section of my site is dedicated to romantics, so I will only list articles with interesting collections of ideas. My main principle is speed and simplicity of execution, because modern young people are very busy.
so here's what you can see in more detail:
Gifts, of course, you want to give some special ones. It makes sense to order personalized gifts with names or personal photographs, as the item becomes priceless in the literal sense. .
Inviting guests for our first wedding anniversary
If a romantic evening is an ordinary weekly event for you (and, by the way, this happens), a year after the wedding you can take a swing at a fun party. I even strongly advise you to celebrate your 1st wedding anniversary this way if you haven’t had a baby yet. Then everything will be much more complicated, believe me :-).
Decorating the house
It makes sense to demonstrate the number “1” in some way. Your family is one year old, so look at what materials you can use to make a large or even gigantic number ().
Oh, yes... We've had enough of those “memorable” shots against the backdrop of wallpaper, curtains and table scraps! Let's take care.
We arrange a themed sweet table
You've probably already seen the beautiful Candy Bar used in wedding decorations many times. Among the cakes and sweets in cute jars, you can place your favorite photos of the young family and cute little things that are dear to both of you. If you have free time and the desire to create, you can make a Candy Bar yourself.
If you are not ready for experiments and live in Moscow, I’ll tell you how to order, call :-).
Wedding anniversary cake
Why not order a themed cake “A year has passed...”. Or “Our family is 1 year old.” Let me remind you that you need 150-200 g per person. We count the guests and understand what weight the cake should be ordered. Usually there are ready-made options in confectionery shops, but you can find a picture on the Internet and tell us in as much detail as possible about your desires.
Presentation
You will need to try a little, but the effect of the photo presentation is always very striking. We select the most positive photos of your family over the past year and make funny inscriptions. If you take the time to do this every year, you will thank yourself in the future. You can show all this to guests on a computer screen, but if you find a projector, that’s great! By the way, you can also include fragments of funny videos in your presentation, even if they were shot on a phone. It's still YOUR story.
Buffet
The karaoke party is also going well. I distribute the songs in advance so that those who wish can prepare and participate in the competition more boldly.
Happy holiday everyone! I hope some idea caught your eye, and your 1 year calico wedding anniversary will be held in a golden way.
The anniversary of a relationship is a small holiday for two lovers. Different couples celebrate the days of meeting, first kiss, beginning life together, and then the wedding date. These moments remain in the memory for a long time. I want to relive them again, remembering with pleasure pictures from the past. For many, especially young people for whom these are the first serious feelings, there is a special trepidation before the approaching anniversary. Both the girl and young man I want to do something nice for each other, so the lovers organize a party to mark the anniversary of their relationship.
Whatever celebration program you have prepared, without romantic dinner any anniversary is not enough joint relations. After active events, you will definitely get hungry, and drinking a glass of champagne for the next common year is already a tradition.
Dinner at the restaurant. The only time it takes to prepare for dinner at a restaurant is to call to reserve a table. Choose a restaurant with beautiful interior, pleasant music and delicious menu. You will take a break from worries and enjoy communication in a pleasant environment.
Dinner at home. Dinner in a homely atmosphere requires creating your own menu and setting the table. The male side undertakes the feat, the female side or the couple prepares their favorite dishes together. Don't know what to cook? Make do with one hot dish - baked meat or fish with simple seasonings, for which be sure to choose a sauce and make a vegetable salad. Plus a bottle of good white or red wine, fruit and dessert for those with a sweet tooth. But the main thing that distinguishes an ordinary dinner from a romantic one is the table setting. Cover it with a tablecloth, arrange candles, fresh flowers or rose petals. You also need beautiful dishes and polished cutlery.
Dinner in nature. It is better to spend a summer holiday evening outdoors. Pack a basket with pizza, fresh vegetables and fruits, cheese, your favorite drink and, taking a blanket and insect repellent, head to the river bank, where it is allowed to make a fire. A great reason to spend the sunset at least once a summer and see the first stars appear in the sky.
Romantic walks
Dedicate your anniversary day only to each other. Even if it’s a walk around the city, which is the simplest, but no less valuable way to be together. Diversify your usual route: go to your favorite place, go to the other end of the city to a park where you have not been before, on a walking tour or to an exhibition.
In winter, you can go sledding down the slides or to a more romantic skating rink. And in the summer you can enjoy cycling or horseback riding. IN warm weather Feel free to go on a river cruise on a boat or yacht.
Shared spa treatments
Give your friend the gift of relaxation in body and soul for the holiday. Nowadays, couples spa treatments are popular: massage and body care for two. Spend the day at the thermal spa or have fun at the water park. And if we talk about celebrating at home, taking a fragrant bath with foam, where instead of bright light you light candles, will give you relaxation.
Young couples in love, especially in the first year of a relationship, behave touchingly and with special trepidation towards each other. They are ready to celebrate anniversaries at least every month. Therefore, they happily respond to all sorts of pleasant surprises. Here are just a few ideas on how you can surprise your loved one.
Bedroom decoration. You invited your significant other to your place on a date. Prepare a surprise for her by decorating the bed: first, cover it with beautiful bed linen and a bedspread, lay out a heart with rose petals (a classic, this technique impresses everyone for the first time), put champagne in a bucket, 2 glasses and chocolates on the table. And yes, of course, candles! Roses may seem banal to some, so a more modern option: print out photos of you together and tie helium-filled balloons to them.
Love notes. In the current environment, paper letters have turned into electronic letters, and words of confession are sent via telephone and computers. Change the tradition on your anniversary and place it around the house and in your personal belongings, it will be a surprise to find a note or a small card where you would not expect to see it. Think about the text, it may contain, for example, the reasons why you are together, one on each note: it will be more interesting to unfold a new message.
Flowers delivery. A woman is always pleased to receive flowers as a gift, and flowers that are given unexpectedly will bring double the pleasure. Order a bouquet for her with delivery to her home or work, including a card with your signature and congratulations.
An anniversary is a reason to take professional photos and celebrate in an unusual way. Girls especially enjoy being photographed: preparation already creates the right mood and a lot of fun. You can walk around the city with a photographer or come to his studio, or you can come up with a theme for the photo shoot and get unusual photos. For example, in Russian folk style on a grain field, in retro style with appropriate accessories, or play in a fairy tale and become a prince and princess.
A change of scenery is perhaps the ideal option when you want to feel that you are alone in the world and belong only to each other. Traveling as a couple is a great way to spend more time together and refresh your senses. Moreover, you don’t have to buy an expensive tour and wait for a vacation from work. On the weekend closest to your anniversary, go to a neighboring city or outdoor recreation center.
Try not to forget about important dates in your relationship, this may be important for your lover. If you are not specifically celebrating an anniversary, still remember on this day an important stage in your personal life and review happy moments, congratulate your other half and present a gift chosen with love.
