Restaurant

A restaurant is a must when it is your anniversary! Dress up cute and pretty and head over to the most vibrant restaurant 🍽️ that gives off romantic vibes. Nothing can go wrong when both of you are all dressed up and ready to eat some delicious dinner.

Be a Tourist in Your Own City

Since it is your anniversary, we can try to plan your date differently. You can go back to the days you first met and how you both explored the city together. Exploring the city together can be fun as you will be together and have a lot of time ⏳ to talk to each other.

Cook Together

Do you know what is more fun than ordering food at home or going out? Cooking 🧑‍🍳 your own meal! Cook together and savor the dish! If both of you don’t know how to cook, you can take up cooking classes. This way, not only will the both of you have fun but even fill your stomach.

Picnic

Since it is your anniversary, it would be a great idea if you went on a picnic. Pack all the snacks, books if you want to read, or speakers so you can listen to music 🎶. Head to a park or to a lake and spread your blanket and just forget about all the things and focus on each other.

Go on A Hike

If both of you are outdoor people and you want your anniversary to be full of physical activity and all about nature 🏞️, going on a hike is the perfect date idea for you. Sweat a little, but your destination will be worth the climb for sure.

Hit the Beach!

Come on, if the beach 🏖️ isn’t the perfect anniversary date idea, I don’t know what will be. Pack your lunch and enjoy it while watching the waves or talking to each other. You can even swim or just bask in the sun for a beautiful tan!

“In the breeze and the gentle waves, I discovered the true meaning of tranquility, with you by my side.”- Unknown

Skiing

If it isn’t the beach weather, I suggest you go and do some sliding ⛷️! Head over to the hills covered with snow and enjoy it as you slide down the snow. Skiing is so much fun when both of you do it together. So head over to the hills and do some skiing with the love of your life, mate!

Play Board Games

If you are not someone who loves to go big on anniversaries, you could always stay at home and enjoy a home-cooked meal while you play some of the board 🎲 games. With a glass of wine, enjoy the game.

You can even listen to some music so you don’t get bored while playing the game.
