10th Wedding Anniversary Ideas

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011

A tenth wedding anniversary is a special milestone for all couples. Traditionally, a tenth anniversary is considered the anniversary of “tin or aluminum,” as these are the gifts that are given traditionally. Nevertheless, a decade of marriage calls for a celebration. Some couples prefer parties, whereas other enjoy a romantic evening alone. It doesn’t really matter how you go about your celebration, as long as you have a good time. If you decide to spend your tenth anniversary alone together, make the evening memorable. Do something fun together. If you’ve hung onto cards, letters, and preserved flowers, make a scrapbook together. Laugh over a glass of wine. Discuss pictures, memories, and things to come. After a cozy candlelit dinner for two, exchange gifts with one another as the sun sets.

However, if you decide to go out for your anniversary, do it with style. Choose a fancy restaurant which hold a special memory. Perhaps you can revisit the location of your first date, or the place you proposed ten years ago! It’ll warm any woman’s heart. Revisiting the past can bring up sentimental feelings you haven’t felt for a long time. Even if you’re relationship is perfectly healthy, an anniversary is a wonderful time to rekindle your love. Perhaps you’ll throw a party, or book a vacation for two somewhere exotic. You can’t go wrong there! These occasion only come once in a lifetime. If you choose to have a party for your tenth anniversary, make a list of everyone you want to invite! Call everyone before hand and confirm their addresses. Youdon’t want your invitations to get returned, do you? Once you have an updated list of addresses, you can purchase invitations for your guests.

The type of invitations you choose shouldn’t be very difficult. You can purchase invitations at a gift shop, or you can order them from a printer. Many couples order their invitations from a printer, as they’re completely customized with a RSVP return card. Nevertheless, if you choose store bought invitations, you should always put RSVP information on your invites. Many couples choose to open a gift registry for their anniversary party. If you decide to do this, mail that information with your invitation. Don’t worry, it’s not really presumptuous. It’ll actually give your guests a better idea of what you may like to receive as a gift. It saves them a worrisome hassle and it keeps you from receiving duplicate gifts.
