It may seem like just yesterday when you said “I do,” but a whole year has passed—and now you’re looking for first anniversary ideas to celebrate the special occasion. Traditionally, your one year wedding anniversary is the “paper” anniversary, meaning you’re supposed to celebrate by giving each other paper-based gifts. While we love this notion, we also think there’s nothing wrong with breaking with tradition by celebrating your first anniversary with a memorable experience instead. If you got married at a hotel, book a room for the evening. You can even ask for the bridal suite if there are no weddings booked. If you got married at a restaurant, go back for dinner and possibly even order items that were served at your wedding. Be sure to indulge in dessert, too, or head back home to have the top tier of your wedding cake if you’ve saved it.
