Things You'll Need:
- Credit card information to make reservations over the phone or online
- Computer with Internet access and/or yellow pages
-
Step 1
Pick the date for your celebration--it doesn't have to be the date you were married--and choose it well in advance so you can book the venue of your choice rather than settle for second-best.
-
Step 2
Pick 1 or 2 backup dates if your venue cannot accommodate you on your preferred date.
-
Step 3
Determine how many people you want to invite. Don't guesstimate-write down the names of each guest. The number of invitees plays a key role in determining your choice of venue.
-
Step 4
Think about the nature of your anniversary. Will it be quiet, intimate and sacred? Consider a church, church basement or formal banquet hall. Romantic and sentimental? Why not host it where you were married or had that first date? Will it be more casual and fun, with many guests? A community center might serve you better.
