If after a year's time the harmony in the relationship between a man and a woman has been preserved, we can say with confidence: this couple has stocked up on patience and love for many years. Psychologists say: “The one-year anniversary of a relationship is a certain feature of the crisis, a milestone when lovers have already learned about each other not only positive character traits, but also experienced negative moments in life.”
One year of relationship is the first joint holiday, symbolizing love, understanding, respect. For strong feelings, psychologists advise about holidays together. An original evening and romantic gifts will leave impressions for a lifetime. How to celebrate the anniversary of a relationship and what to give as a present is the age-old question of almost all lovers.
Ask her out on a first date
Try to recreate your first date. Do not you remember? No problem. Your girlfriend probably remembers everything down to the smallest detail.
This is the simplest idea that will definitely please your girlfriend and show your love.
What is needed for this?
- Think about where you went on your first date. If it's a cafe or restaurant, book a table there. If it’s a park, then you don’t have to worry about how to celebrate the anniversary of a relationship if you don’t have money.
- Remember what you were wearing. Even if these are the most wasteful things in your wardrobe, they will help recreate that atmosphere. Yes, and don't worry. It will be fun.
- Walk the entire route that day. And here you have two options. You can act as if this is really a first date, play some kind of role-playing game. Or just remember the fun moments from your life together.
City quest
Recently, various kinds of games have become fashionable, in which participants follow clues and complete simple tasks in search of some kind of “treasure”. On your anniversary, you can do something similar for your girlfriend. Figure out where you will hide the gift, and then develop a thorny and interesting route to get there. If your girlfriend loves puzzles, then she will definitely appreciate your work.
- Pros. Mystery is always exciting.
- Minuses. Remember that tasks should be solvable, and the route should not be very long. Otherwise, your girlfriend will get tired, angry or upset. In general, when organizing such games, it is better to immediately give the participant a telephone number that they can call in case of difficulties.
Role-playing games
The anniversary of a relationship is a great reason to try or get high from role-playing games again. Come up with a plot after which you can spend a luxurious night at home or in a hotel.
It could be:
- sex after the first date;
- a businessman and a random girl from a bar;
- businessman and prostitute;
- business lady and gigolo.
Any game that excites both of you will do. The most important thing is that both you and your partner are able to transform and get used to the roles. Then you will remember this anniversary for a long time.
My advice: start the game outside the apartment, or better yet, move all the action to the hotel. Then you will have a fuller sense that you are not you. Trust me, the main inspirer of AKLONI. When everything is unusual, it is much easier for anyone to get used to the role.
Photo session love-story
An anniversary is a reason to take professional photos and celebrate in an unusual way. Girls especially enjoy being photographed: preparation already creates the right mood and a lot of fun. You can walk around the city with a photographer or come to his studio, or you can come up with a theme for the photo shoot and get unusual photos. For example, in Russian folk style on a grain field, in retro style with appropriate accessories, or play in a fairy tale and become a prince and princess.
Anniversary in another city
If you don’t know where to celebrate your anniversary, and all the places in your city are already boring, what’s stopping you from going to another?
Take a mini-vacation for a couple of days together. Choose a city and go on an adventure. A change of place, a new atmosphere, relaxation - all this will awaken feelings and take your love to a new level.
By the way, if you don’t want to get out of bed, no problem. Rent an apartment or hotel room in another city and just enjoy your time together. Believe me, every person needs a change of environment, even if you just change 4 walls to others.
Secret party
Invite your best friends and throw a party. Of course, keep everything secret until the appointed day. In the morning, pretend that you forgot about the anniversary. And in the evening, bring her to where the holiday will take place. Bring your girlfriend into the hall with your eyes closed.
- Pros. A holiday made in your honor, but without your participation in the preparation, is always pleasant.
- Minuses. Take a responsible approach to compiling the list of invitees; one “wrong” person can ruin everything. And buy your girlfriend an outfit suitable for the holiday.
Camping
What's the most important thing about an anniversary? Memories, privacy and tranquility. And what place is best for this? Perhaps a country cottage.
Look, this joint vacation will help you get closer, remember interesting moments from your life, relax and have sex to your heart's content. What's not the best idea for celebrating an anniversary? It is not so important whether it will be your first anniversary of the relationship or the tenth.
Now there are many country complexes for every taste: houses in the forest, where you will not see a soul around, hotels with 5 stars, where everything is included except a blowjob, but it will come with you. You can sign up for an exciting program if you are a fan of, for example, yoga. So why not go to some kind of “yoga camp for adults”?
It all depends only on your imagination and financial capabilities. And choose ideas based on your hobbies.
Signs and superstitions
Folk signs did not ignore the first anniversary: based on special events and signs, ancestors predicted the fate of the couple.
In order for the relationship to be long and happy, you need to leave the house on your anniversary holding hands, and if the dishes accidentally break, you should step over the fragments together.
Popular beliefs warn couples against inappropriate behavior that can lead to discord or breakup:
- do not talk about the wedding, do not wear a white dress and do not give a knitted one, this promises betrayal;
- don’t buy shoes, otherwise you’ll break up;
- Return from a walk by a different route, otherwise you will wallow in boredom.
A favorable sign that promises the couple a long and happy life together will be heavy rain and the first gray hair found in the hair.
Cooking together
How to celebrate the anniversary of a relationship with a girl if you like to eat? That's right, cook it and eat it deliciously.
If your budget is tight or your love cooks so well that no chef can compare with her, cook at home. This could be your favorite or memorable dish. Or maybe something completely new.
But you must do this together. So put off the beer and football for the next day, and spend time with the woman you love on your anniversary. She will be pleased, and later you will get a piece of sex.
You can take cooking classes. For example, prepare a full dinner for two together under the guidance of a cool chef, pack yourself and the food and go to your favorite place.
By the way, if you are celebrating such a date in the warm season, you can dine on your own prepared dish in nature. And only then go home and continue in bed.
What to give a girl?
The first thing that congratulations cannot be done without is a bouquet of flowers. You can add a box of chocolates, champagne, a soft toy, and so on. This is considered a standard holiday set for such dates. If you are not satisfied with this option, then you can diversify your gift with more expensive things. For example, necklace, earrings. A pleasant surprise will be a set of lace sleepwear, a certificate for a cosmetics store or for visiting cosmetic procedures. An excellent option would be gifts such as an aquarium with fish or a pet. Don't forget to take into account your other half's hobbies.
Interview by candlelight
All women love this kind of bullshit, so you can't go wrong. It's simple: make a light dinner, take your favorite wine, light candles and make a list of questions for the two of you.
If you propose such a tradition to your girlfriend, she will gladly agree. Imagine asking each other the same questions every year on your anniversary and then comparing the answers.
Both of you will see how your relationship is changing, what problems you have and will eliminate them in time. This idea is ideal for a couple who find it difficult to talk to each other and correctly convey their feelings and complaints.
Confession under the windows
This way of expressing your feelings is no longer original, however, if nothing else has been thought of, then you can take note of it. It is more suitable for very young people, but they are used to it. If you are in adulthood, then your other half will most likely be very surprised. Everything is very simple here: some kind of romantic confession is written with paints on the wall or on the road under the beloved’s window. The next morning she looks out the window, sees him and rejoices.
- Pros . Cheap, romantic and exciting. After all, the police can easily pick you up while you write your opus. Or your girlfriend’s neighbors will throw eggs from their windows. In general, if everything works out, know that you have accomplished a small feat.
- Cons: The walls of houses in our country are rarely painted, and the asphalt is renewed even less often. Therefore, most likely, your recognition will decorate the yard for many years. And perhaps a moment will come when it will become irrelevant. It won't be easy to get rid of him.
Hike
There comes a time when men have the question: “How to celebrate the anniversary of a relationship if there is no money?” Not noting is not an option, but there is nothing to invest.
Alternatively, go hiking. Cheap and interesting. It’s especially cool if you’re a couple of extreme sports enthusiasts who prefer active recreation to sitting on the couch.
This could be a one-day event or an entire weekend. The main thing is that you really have to look into this, because safety comes first!
If you are a couple of lovers who have never been in the forest, then it is best to walk along the edge during the day. Seriously, it’s very easy to get lost if you don’t know the way. So there’s no point in pretending to be a fucking tracker.
How to celebrate this day with friends?
Spending this day with friends is not forbidden. Many friends and relatives will want to congratulate the couple on their first serious date. Of course, they can give you a surprise, but if the arrival of guests is planned, then you will have to try too. The holiday script is the basis of a successful event.
What is the best thing for you to do? Go on a hike with your best friends, take your guitar with you, barbecue. You can also go with your loved ones to the theater or cinema. You can even go to another city for a few days. If the holiday falls during the summer, you can have a party on the roof of your house. There is no need to invent anything here, a small table and a couple of chairs will suffice, the main thing is to remember to take care of the keys to the attic that leads to the roof in advance.
Dinner at home
If you don't feel like stressing out at all, just order some food and sit at home. Then how is an anniversary different from any other day? Only the atmosphere that a couple in love creates for themselves.
Watch a romantic movie, remember interesting moments from your common past. Make this anniversary just a day of memories. But remember that love needs to be maintained, so don’t go crazy with this anniversary idea.
Let such lazy celebration be an exception to the rule rather than a routine for you.
What about a gift for a guy?
The purpose of congratulating your loved one on this day on the anniversary of your relationship is to leave a memory of yourself with a gift. Your chosen one will always remember the first anniversary if, for example, you present him with a watch, bracelet, chain, or tie. Every time he puts on these accessories and jewelry, he will immediately remember you and that very day. The gift can be practical; pay attention to options such as a leather belt, wallet, office set, or accessories for a phone or computer.
An excellent option would be gifts related to the hobbies of your young man. Over the course of a year, a couple usually learns quite a lot about each other, so this knowledge can be used when choosing a gift. For example, if your guy is a fisherman, then a set of spinners and a new spinning rod are a great option. You can give an athlete roller skates, dumbbells, or a longboard. If your boyfriend is a homebody, then please him with a new fluffy robe, coffee maker, thermos, and so on. A universal option would be gifts such as a certificate for a parachute jump, a horse ride, or a trip to laser tag. Don’t forget to congratulate your loved one on your relationship anniversary.
Foreign paper "chintz"
Foreign spouses like to call the first anniversary a paper wedding, so there is a lot of priceless waste paper in the house. Of course, the most pleasant thing is to receive beautiful postcards with rustling banknotes. In 365 days, “calico-paper” families must accumulate many memories in the form of photographs. It's time to order stylish collages for bare walls, vintage frames. Precious gifts wrapped in paper and cardboard boxes, tied with fabric ribbons and bows, are suitable. Friends have a wedding anniversary, 1 year? You can congratulate both spouses or separately. Girls are waiting for women's surprises, and men are waiting for the latest console, fishing equipment, sports equipment, souvenirs for a successful business, etc.
A culinary notebook for the housewife or a business organizer for her husband, tickets to a movie premiere or a flyer for a youth concert to remind you of the first days of dating - because this is what will cause a storm of emotions among your friends! It's time to present the spouses with a certificate for attending master classes and yoga seminars. An excellent gift would be a horse ride for two, a mountain descent on a skateboard, a boat trip on a yacht or sailboat, or a delicious barbecue outside the city by the pool.
