Wedding Anniversary Gift Year By Year

Sat, 27 Feb 2010 01:05:21 +0000


My best friend is an excellent wedding planner. When I got married she planned an elaborate 200 guest wedding for us. It was everything I dreamed of and more. Since we had been friends for so many years she already knew the things I would like from what I wouldn’t. Every year I try to buy her a really cool gift around my wedding anniversary because every time we celebrate another year I remember what she did for us. This years I decided to buy her the best Wedding Planning Tools. I bought her a software that had a schedule, guest management and budget tracking. She was so happy I got it because she was planning to buy one within the next month.

The traditional first anniversary gift is always made out of paper. Of course, you can always buy tickets or something boring like that, OR you could tell your husband or wife exactly what you think after your first year of marriage. Maybe I should show you an example and let Andrew take it from here, as he was looking for something very special for his wife Amanda on the occasion of their first wedding anniversary….(I have also included Andrew’s comments to show how the finished gift can be a true collaborative effort)…
