Your first year of wedded bliss—didn’t it go by so quickly? Celebrating your first wedding anniversary is very special—it’s not considered a milestone anniversary, but truly, it is. The first year of marriage is filled with the joy of being with the one you love and continuing your journey in life together.
Now that you’ve settled into your new status, it’s the perfect time to begin creating ways to keep your love fresh. The daily grind of work & family life can easily dampen your romance. So setting the stage now for the years ahead is something to place high on your radar screen.
Decades ago, life was much simpler, mens & womens roles were more narrowly defined, people held jobs for a lifetime, you didn’t have to go to college so you could earn a decent living, buying a house didn’t take two incomes.
No matter how hectic your life is, making time for celebrating your love is necessary—and fun! It can be as simple as writing little love notes, having a special way you hug & kiss before leaving for work, taking sweet little weekend trips or just planning a romantic night in once a month. Use your first anniversary celebration to create funtastic ideas to keep your love sparks ignited.
The worst thing I ever think anyone can say to a couple is that “marriage is such hard work!” Why not say “marriage is such fun!” It’s not that you won’t have disagreements, it’s about where you train yourselves to shift your focus, despite difficult times.
1st Anniversary Gifts
The 1st anniversary traditional gift is paper, the modern gift is clocks, the gemstone is gold & the flower is a pansy. Mix & match ideas, for example, wrap a clock gift in gold paper or place in a gold gift bag. Write a corny note like “Time for Love.” Put a love letter in a bouquet of flowers. If you were married in the spring, plant some pansies in your garden or a planter.
