Make This One Count

Wedding Anniversaries: the time of the year in which we are reminded how lucky we are to have our loved ones. As times passes by, it always seems trickier to come up with something fresh or more exciting than what we did last year for the big day. That’s when we look for help or new ideas to make this year better than the last.

As a way to lend a helping hand for those of you looking to spice up your anniversary this year, I’ve come up with some ideas for your assistance. These tips range from simple and convenient to a little more elaborate, depending on how much you want to spend or go out of your way. Regardless of what you may choose to do, these suggestions should guide you towards a fantastic and romantic time with your loved one.

Take a Trip to the Beach

This might seem like a cliche, but it’s always nice to get away to a sun-soaked beach. Sandy beaches and the salty ocean air have so much to offer for couples. As long as you find a decent hotel on or near the ocean, you’re set for doing pretty much any beach related activity you and your loved one desire!

If you’re looking for exciting things to do out on the sea, there’s plenty to keep you busy. Same goes for staying on the beach. If you or your spouse are not into water activities, there’s enough to keep you entertained on the sand. Here are some suggestions for daytime fun if you decide to go to the beach for your next anniversary:

  • Deep sea fishing
  • Jet skiing
  • Wind boarding
  • Kayaking
  • Boogie boarding, surfing or wakeboarding
  • Fly kites
  • Rent beach buggies or beach bikes
  • Play bocce ball

When the night time comes, don’t forget to get your fill of fresh seafood. Some of the best seafood restaurants can be found near the ocean. Once you finish a nice meal, be on the lookout for put-put courses and boardwalk entertainment. These fun little spots usually surround every large beach in the nation and are always great for nightlife recreation.

Relax on a Weekend Getaway

Sometimes, all it takes to make an anniversary special is some quiet time out of the house. One of the best ways to do so is by going on a weekend getaway. There’s plenty of options on where to take your spouse. Whether it’s out in the country or someplace downtown, getaways can be just as enjoyable as a fancy vacation.

After you find a place to go to, see what kind of attractions are nearby. No matter where you go there will be things to do. Here are some ideas for pleasant activities to do with your spouse during your weekend getaway:

  • Go site seeing
  • Enjoy fine dining
  • Tour the nearest museum, big or small
  • Go to a spa
  • Play golf, tennis, etc.
  • Find a place to take cooking classes
  • Take stroll or drive to the nearest farmers market

These are just a few ideas. As long as you’re out of the house and spending time together on your weekend getaway, you’re bound to have a nice time. Most of the time it’s fun to just get there, explore and make up plans along the way!

Night Out on the Town

If vacations or weekend getaways don’t fit into your schedule, don’t fret because all you need is one night out to enjoy your next anniversary. Taking a trip downtown for the evening is always exciting. Depending on where you live, try to make it to your nearest big city or one that offers a decent amount of nighttime entertainment.

First things first, find a fancy restaurant to take your spouse to; you can never go wrong with fine cuisine. Next, look what your big city has to offer. Here are some day and/or night activities most people can find in their nearest city:

  • Theatre performances
  • Sports games
  • Comedy shows
  • Concerts
  • Art galleries
  • Tours
  • Museum attractions
  • And much more!

Your entertainment options may vary, but in the end it’s up to whatever interests you and your loved one. As long as you find something that pleases the both of you, you’ll have a wonderful anniversary night in the city at a reasonable price.

These are only a few ideas to help make your next anniversary a bit more special than the last one. Regardless of what you choose to do, as long as you’re with your loved one and get away from home for awhile, you will have pleasant time. Just make sure you have some ideas or plans of your own; you want to look good in front of your spouse don’t you?
