Our 25th anniversary is next month and I have no idea what to do to celebrate. Don’t want to go on a trip since we just spent lots of money on other things. Don’t want to do the usual go out to dinner celebration. Help, I need some ideas. What did you do to celebrate your anniversary?

Scavenger hunt with memories as clues?
Happy 25th! ❤️

You could each plan a surprise activity for the other one…hiking, museum, anything you think the other would really like or enjoy.

Happy (almost) Anniversary!
Our 25th was right before Christmas 2020. So…ya, not anything really. Just spent time at home together. Being sort of shut off from the rest of the world just made us closer so it was great. What do y’all like to do together? Even if a vacation is out perhaps just a day trip?

We did a trip.
What about a hike together? Not sure where in the country you are but in my area spring wildflowers are really starting to bloom.

You could play tourist in your own area. I find I only visit things when I have out of town guests!
Visit a botanical garden, historical sight, waterfall, etc.

We went for a smallish vacation since it was during the earlier COVID times. We also went to Tiffany's because I wanted a silver band for our 25th but I was accepting nothing less than Tiffany's for such a hard-won accomplishment 😉

Could you recreate something from your first date, or proposal, or first year of marriage?

We have our 30th coming up and we are doing a trip. In our younger days when we didn't have any money or had a little one we just went out to dinner. We were supposed to do a weekend trip for our 25th but dd was sick so we had to skip it.
If it were me at this point, I think I'd like a nice night at home with a candle lit dinner, fancy finger foods, dessert in bed....

We threw ourselves a big silver anniversary party and invited all of our friends and family to come to a BBQ at our lake cabin. It was a great day with all of our loved ones, everyone had a good time and it was way more fun than our original wedding day was.

For my bday we both played hooky and spent a day and evening in one of our favorite towns (only about 30 mi. away), just walking, talking, eating, drinking, being together. It was lovely. Highly recommend.

Vow renewal? Just the two of you... not a big production. I would find that very meaningful.

Our 50th was October 2020, during that window when things were a bit relaxed so we had a small dinner of 16 of family and friends. I'd still like to do something special this coming October and renewing our vows or a cruise has been under consideration.

Our minister/friend is strictly against vow renewal ceremonies. He feels it is sending a message that the first time was not forever and has to be renewed. He is adamant that one does not do it again, in the same way that baptism is not repeated. I was a bit surprised when he was making the statements, but I do understand his logic.

From his perspective I'm sure it makes sense. My first time was not forever though. This time around, I feel very differently. My husband and I like to reaffirm our luck in reconnecting and our love for one another on a regular basis, but a milestone anniversary would seem a really appropriate time to do that.

Our 25th anniversary was in 2020 at the height of the pandemic. We had been wanting to take a trip but since that was out we decided to just post-pone the trip one year, and hopefully go the next.
Our trip to St. John last December was for that anniversary celebration. We spent two weeks together, reconnected and had a blast! DH had to return for work but I stayed an additional week and DS flew in to join me.
Maybe take a trip next year? This year plan something that you both will enjoy.
Happy Anniversary to you and to Jenjie!

Our 25th was in April, and I didn't want to leave school at that time of the year. We took a 10 day trip to Switzerland when summer came around.

Whatever you do, enjoy. My parents celebrated their silver anniversary with their families and community, as they did their marriage.

We renewed our vows at 20 years - we were married young, had our share of up and downs, two children and it was common thought that it wouldn’t last! We returned to our local church, invited as many of our original guest list that we were still in contact with and went to dinner afterwards. Our dd was so excited - she was about 6 at the time. we had a fabulous time. it will be our 50th anniversary in April this year. Have no idea what to do will probably be a dinner with our nearest and dearest.
