Wedding Anniversary Theme Parties

Street Lamp Shimmer: Romance under the street lamps (and candlelight). Hire some cheap street lamps, set out some softly glowing candles and play your favorite classical music in the background. If you want then you can also invite friends and family along to celebrate this with you, or even just make it a romantic party with just the two of you.

Prom Again: Did you and your spouse go to the prom together when you were younger? Then re-live those happy memories by having your prom again. Play the same music, have the same theme and you may even want to invite the same friends that were there on the night. Have a blast and think of all those happy memories.

Organizing a wedding anniversary theme party for someone else? Think about the couple you are organizing it for and what they like. You might think of an author's tea party for those who love reading or a more adventurous party for those who are more active.

Whatever you choose to do, ensure that the day is truly romantic and memorable. Give your spouse a gift they will remember forever and share those beautiful moments together, and maybe with others.
