Milestone anniversaries, such as the fifth, 10th, 15th, and 20th, aren’t the only ones deserving of special celebrations. Indeed, each additional year together provides you with yet another chance to express your profound love for one other.
While jewelry gifts such as wedding anniversary rings are certainly welcome symbols of your continued affection, taking a romantic trip can also work wonders to strengthen your relationship. Here are some travel ideas to consider for your next anniversary:
Revisit your wedding location
Was your ceremony held out of state or across the country? If so, this is the perfect time to revisit the location. Short of renewing your vows (though that’s an option too!), try to recreate events as best you can by staying in the same hotel, eating at the same restaurants, dancing to the same music, etc.
Another idea is to revisit the place where you proposed, this time offering a 10 year anniversary ring instead of an engagement ring.
Go on a second honeymoon
Your honeymoon obviously holds some great memories for both of you, so going back to Maui, the Bahamas, or Paris would be a fun way to reminisce about the past. And if you were too broke to take a honeymoon right after the wedding, now’s your chance to make up for it.
Tie into tradition
With a little creativity, you can tie your trip in with traditional anniversary gifts for a truly romantic result. For example, the traditional gift for the second anniversary is cotton. Put your own spin on this by getting your honey an all-cotton beach towel along with tickets to an exclusive resort in Acapulco.
Going out to dinner isn’t the only option for celebrating anniversaries; it’s just the easiest. Expand your horizons this year by taking a special trip together and exchanging thoughtful gifts such as wedding anniversary rings in a more exotic setting.
