Wedding anniversary celebration ideas
A wedding anniversary is a celebration between the two of you, either a dinner booked in a private room or an evening at home in a room set with flowers and a gift waiting after dinner with a card in your own words. Not sure what they want this year? Let them choose from 2 to 8 gifts without seeing prices, or pick the gift yourself if you want a surprise. If you want it to reach their office or their family's home and you do not know the address, the location is set from a WhatsApp link, as explained in send a gift without an address, with delivery in Riyadh and Jeddah.
Book the anniversary dinner in a private room
An anniversary dinner needs a quiet place for the two of you, so book a private room or a table in the family section a week ahead, especially at the weekend. In Riyadh see anniversary dinner restaurants, where you can add flowers on the table and a cake to the booking, or book the dinner or venue with Mila directly. The gift arrives from Haddiyah before or after the dinner.
Setting up a room at home for the anniversary
If you prefer the evening at home, set up the room or the majlis before your husband or wife comes back from work, with vases of flowers on the table, soft lighting and a card in your own handwriting. A vase lasts for days after the evening and keeps the memory. See anniversary vases.
An anniversary surprise for your wife
Your wife will love a gift waiting on the table after dinner, such as flowers with a perfume she likes or something she uses every day that brings the evening back. Put something on the card only the two of you know, such as the first place you travelled together or a prayer for her. See flowers with perfume for anniversaries.
An anniversary surprise for your husband
Your husband will be glad to come home to the dinner he loves and flowers with chocolate or a perfume he knows on the table. If you want the gift to be a surprise, enter your own number as the recipient and set the delivery time before he returns. See gifts for husbands.
First anniversary and simple ideas
A first anniversary needs no more than a simple dinner for two, a small gift and a card about what changed in your first year. Simple ideas at home are many, such as cooking the dish from the first meal you hosted together or a letter about a moment you remember from that year. For gifts in any year see anniversary gift ideas.
Unsure what they want this year? Let them choose
After years together it is hard to know what is missing, so set one budget with 2 to 8 gifts and let them choose one without seeing prices. They hear about it on WhatsApp and set the place and time there, and you pay half of the average now and the balance once they choose. Since the gift arrives from the day after their choice, send the options two days before the anniversary.
Before you send
- Unsure of their taste after all these years? Put together several gifts within one budget and let them take the one they want without seeing any price.
- Keep the celebration between the two of you. If you want the children involved, let them write a card or help set up the room.
- If the anniversary falls on a working day, keep the dinner for the weekend and have the gift arrive on the day itself so it does not pass unmarked.
- Put your own words on the card. For wording see what to write in a gift card.
