Anniversaries

We've just had our 50th and we had it with our 3 offspring, their spouses and all our grandchildren. It was perfect.
Usually we exchange cards and have a special meal at home. My mother always sent us a card but that is the only one who did.

I`m so glad romance is alive and well [cupcakes]

Always exchange cards; always eat out as a couple. Special trips and gifts for the big ones. We honeymooned in Paris so that's where we went at 25 and 40 (doesn't stop us going at other times!).

DH and I have always exchanged cards and we always received one from my mum. We've only done pressies on the important ones. We usually have a meal out too.
It's our ruby anniversary next April and we've booked a long weekend at Burgh Island in the Josephine Baker room, as I love art deco

We don't do cards, but I usually get flowers and we go out for a meal. As it is OUR wedding anniversary, it is just about us, so we don't include kids/stepkids etc. This year we celebrate 25 years -can't quite believe it - and we are going to Venice a deux. My daughter really wanted us to have a 'do', but lovely though it might be, it is quite stressful and often ends up being more about your guests than you.

I was 40 when we got married, hubbie 45; we thought we were getting on a bit then! When I look back at the pics, can't quite believe how youthful and fresh (relatively!) we both looked !!

My aunt (who recently died aged 92) always sent us an anniversary card and I was so touched. I am trying to emulate her and send cards to young couples who kindly included us in their wedding celebrations, including my nieces.
We try and go out for a meal on ours, but didn't celebrate our 40th in a special way. For our 30th, we had a lovely cruise to the Norwegian fiords, on the old QE2, before she retired. Maybe do another cruise for 50th - if we make it! Discovered the Minerva a few years ago and she is a delightful boat, only about 340 odd people and no children. Mostly older people but all with great characters with a zest for life. I can recommend her.

To be quite honest my hubby is not much of a romantic,When we first got married within a few years we had the kids and finding we had less money we never bothered with Anniversaries only the main ones 15,25 30 lol
But so sure he forgets my birthday he can look out he has only done it once,Never again.Yet strangely i never forget my girls & always send then a card on their Anniversaries.

It's our golden wedding anniversary next year and I want to have "a bit of a do" to include DC and DGC but not sure what form it should take. For our silver wedding anniversary we had an "open house" with a buffet and drinks on the go all day. It was good to see so many old friends and extended family but it was hard work and I don't think I am up to doing that again.

The two of us always go out for a nice lunch on the day but next year I want it to be special with our family around us, just to be thankful and grateful to look round at our little clan, who are all there because of the two of us.

It is my 44th wedding anniversary on Thursday and MrA will be in a yacht somewhere off the coast of Scotland with four of his cronies

So I made sure a couple of weeks ago that we went out to a dinner dance at the Gosforth Park Hotel

Yes - we do. 34 years today. Second marriage for me but so different from the first in every way.

Our birthdays are only 3 weeks apart and our wedding anniversary comes in between so we tend not to bother with it unless it is a special one.

We don't bother with cards or presents but usually go out for a meal..

We never really make a big deal over our anniversary always exchange cards but that's about it - sometimes the family sends a card sometimes they don't. 44 years next year so perhaps I will make a special day of.

We don't do cards or presents but we go out for a meal. For our silver we had a large bbq at home a couple of days before and went away for the actual day, which we spent at Warwick castle. For our ruby we went with DS2 and his GF to the River Cottage restaurant. Eight years to go to gold.

Hey Sparky,

We Always spend or wedding anniversary on our own , not even with our darling family!

We must be doing something right as in January gone we celebrated 43 years .
