First anniversary – ten ways to celebrate

Your first anniversary is definitely worth celebrating in style, so why not take inspiration from our top ten first anniversary ideas?

Smooth seduction

Set aside an evening -- or even a whole day -- for some real conjugal pleasure! Discuss your fantasies, get dressed up in your sexiest outfit and make sure there's plenty of candles, massage oils and other bedroom gear around. Eat aphrodisiac food to get yourselves in the mood and think of nothing but pleasuring each other -- again, and again, and again.

Dreams can come true!

Has your spouse ever dreamed of driving a racing car, or going on a hot air balloon flight? Your first anniversary is the perfect opportunity to help your wife or husband fulfil their dream. Organise it for them in secret and announce your surprise on the morning of your anniversary.

Spending spree

Your first anniversary is a time to forget your everyday troubles. Forget the gas bill and throw caution to the wind with a shopping spree. Treat each other to new clothes, CDs -- whatever you both want! Enjoy a smart lunch during the day and enjoy the high life, even if it is just for one day.

Baby baby

If your thoughts have recently turned to having a baby, why not start trying to conceive on the day of your first anniversary? After all, making a baby together can be very romantic and it consolidates your relationship too -- perfect for a first anniversary celebration!

Perfect picnic

If your first anniversary falls on a hot summer's day, then pack a picnic and head for the country. Feed each other strawberries and enjoy fun in the field as you revel in the sunshine and each other's company.

Down on paper

First anniversaries are associated with paper, so why not give your spouse a present or surprise based on this theme? Surprise them with a front cover from a newspaper made on the day of their birth or your anniversary, or leave romantic notes around the house for him or her to find. You could even make paper heart confetti and sprinkle it on your bed for a romantic treat!
