Relive the First Date
-
Assuming that your first date was one to positively remember, taking time to relive your first date can be a romantic option for your anniversary. Whether it be a restaurant, a trip to a museum, a specific concert, or seeing a movie, remembering the beginning of your relationship is a wonderful way to remember how your life together began. If the movie you saw is no longer playing, consider renting the movie, or if you saw a concert, consider traveling to see the artist live. If your first date is not something you want to remember, you can also relive the night you became engaged or any other special night in your relationship.
Increase the Adrenaline
-
Increasing your adrenaline to celebrate your anniversary is another option to bring some excitement into your relationship. There are many high-adrenaline activities that can be performed together as a couple, whether it be skydiving, bungee jumping, or cliff diving, to name a few. Keep in mind that you will need to act in advance for these activities, and in most cases will need to take some sort of training class to prepare. There is also some risk in these activities, which adds to the thrill, but should also not be taken lightly.

Weekend Getaways
-
A weekend getaway can provide you the chance to be together for the entire weekend uninterrupted, without taking extended amounts of time from your job or children. A weekend getaway could be as simple as renting a suite in a nice hotel in your town, to hopping on a plane to the other side of the country for the weekend. Be sure to plan a romantic dinner, a walk, or some time at a place with an unforgettable view. You can also consider a hotel's romance package if one is available to help set the mood. These packages may provide options like rose petal baths, champagne, chocolates, or other amenities to celebrate your anniversary.
Scavenger Hunt
-
For couples looking for a unique way to celebrate the day, consider designing a scavenger hunt based around your significant other's favorite things. Place clues in envelopes that lead your spouse or partner to places like favorite restaurants, chocolate shops, coffee houses, parks, museums, or other favorite places. Once you reach each location, hand the next clue over for the next destination. Be sure that the night ends some place special like the suite of a hotel, or even your home bedroom decorated with candles, romantic music and rose petals.
