Things To Do On Your Anniversary |
Posted: May 2, 2021 |
After so many years with your life partner (or perhaps just one year), you want to show them that you really care. This is why choosing an activity for your anniversary is such a big decision; it can portray to your partner how important he or she is in your eyes. Too little of a gesture can signify that he or she isn’t worth the time to organize something grander, which can be grounds for a fight in the near future. To avoid this from happening, you want to understand what your partner enjoys, what you’re able to schedule time for in your busy lives, and what the perfect activity is that will capture your love for your partner. You should definitely do your own research, but to help speed up your search and give you some ideas, below are five things that you can do with your partner for your anniversary. Hotel Getaway It’s worth starting with something that can fit into anyone’s schedule. While it can be tempting to think that a hotel getaway is a sorry excuse for an anniversary plan, under the right circumstances, it can actually be the perfect way to celebrate. The key is to think of the getaway the same way as you would a vacation. When you go on vacation, something happens in your brain that changes the way you behave, making you freer, more open to new experiences, and generally more relaxed. If you can communicate to your partner that you want your weekend away to have the same vibe as a vacation, then your getaway can be so much grander than just a trip to your local hotel. The specific hotel will also play a part in how well your getaway goes as well. For example, don’t choose the closest or cheapest hotel you can find; instead, do some research and find out the fanciest or most unique option in your area. In fact, it can be better to not rely on a hotel’s price tag to understand the kind of experience you can expect. This is because many luxury hotels provide the same kinds of luxury services, such as bigger rooms, more amenities, higher-quality food, and so on. If this is appealing to you, then by all means choose the fanciest hotel you can find. But if you want a more unique experience to remember with your partner, then you may be better off digging a little deeper to find out what unique hotels are available in your area. Cuisine Tour If you can’t afford two days away from your busy lives, or you want a day trip to pin onto your growing anniversary itinerary, then a cuisine tour can be a great option. While cuisine may refer more to food, you may find that your area offers more in the way of distillery and beverage tours. For example, you might find a Napa Valley winery or Rutherford winery to be more attainable if you live in California. At these establishments, you can expect a day filled with peaceful walks through vineyards, grape picking, Rutherford wine tasting, and delicious meals accompanied by local beverages. You may even find places that offer a bed and breakfast in combination with cuisine tours. These places are ideal for an anniversary as you can wake up to the beautiful sounds of nature, stroll down for a homey breakfast, make your way out onto the vineyards for a day filled with the activities described above, and then walk back to your cozy bed after a few too many drinks. If you really want to take a step back in time to when production processes and ingredients weren’t as industrialized as they are now, you can opt for a tour of a sustainable winery in Rutherford or a sustainable winery in Napa Valley. Both of these places are known for their spanning vineyard vistas, natural production processes, and historic settings. All-Inclusive If you have the time for more than a weekend to celebrate your anniversary, an all-inclusive resort can be a great way to unwind and reconnect with your partner. You’ll likely have to travel to get to the resort, but once you’re there, everything is taken care of–you can sit by the beach with your drink in hand and relax the days away. Then, you can return to your room in your cotton bathrobes for some room service. No screaming kids asking for dinner here–just you, your partner, and food delivered right to your room. There are also often plenty of activities that you can do right on the resort grounds to keep you busy and entertained throughout the day (and night). For example, depending on where your resort is, you may be able to go out onto the water for some snorkeling, windsurfing, or jet skiing. Back on the beach, you and your partner can partake in an organized volleyball game with other couples. Takeaway Your anniversary is so much more than just the Google notification that pops up on your phone a week ahead of time; it’s your chance to rekindle your love with your partner and enjoy each other’s presence without any interruption from kids, work, or the responsibilities of everyday life. While you should definitely do your own research to see what the best options are for your anniversary, any of the activities listed above are sure to work for most couples. If you can only schedule one day away, then a local cuisine tour is the perfect getaway. If you can manage a couple of days away, then a romantic getaway to a hotel can be a great option (you may even find hotels or BnBs that come paired with a cuisine tour). Finally, if it’s a big anniversary and you want more than just a couple of days away, then a trip to an all-inclusive resort is the perfect option. Regardless of what you choose, make sure that it’s tailored to reflect not just your own interests, but also your partner’s interests as well.
