Surprise her with a romantic weekend get away take her to a nice bed & breakfast somewhere not too far away. Shower her with love and attention to make the weekend really special.

 

[Izzo]

Ask her if there is anything she has been wanting to do. Try giving the day to her and being a servant.

 

[Tini]

Treat her the whole month. Do something small every day - like pick a flower from the garden for her; rub her feet the next night; a small present the next mornign as you wake etc. etc. right up to something special (dinner etc.) on th 27th.

Thanks for the ideas so far guys...I am however moving my thread to the marriage forum so I can get more responses.

After 17 years of marriage, the anniversary thing just isnt that big of a deal. I mean, we don't try to out do last year and stuff like that. Keep it simple.

Make a homemade card. Go out for dinner to a place you dont normally go. Buy her a pizza and have the folks put her favorite toppings in the shape of a heart.

Peace.

My 7th anniversary is next May. I agree with Peter, sort of. All I really want is to know that my husband loves me just as much now as he did on the day we got married. Something simple, sincere, and from the heart would please me more than anything. A night with no kids, a nice dinner, and LOTS of conversation...that would be perfect


Love, Heather

PS Someone make sure my hubby sees this post

In my house., all you would have to do is the dishes.

Maybe you could do everything in 7's. Like get her 7 roses, 7 cards, 7 small gifts, a 7 course dinner, stuff like that.



Then do the dishes!

 

[AlabamaMan]

Thanks for the ideas guys. I want to do something special for her because to me she deserves the best. I normally help around the house and do dishes and stuff, so I want to do something out of my normal so its not like I am just doing my same old routine.
I want to show her I am making an effort...we have a tradition where on our anniversary and our birthdays each of us makes signs and hangs them up around the house, it might just say Happy birthday or happy anniversary or it might be a little note for the other one to find.

These thoughts are helpful, keep them coming! Thank guys.

As E-beth said, Do the dishes and she will be happy.
I did that today after she got home from work, and she made me BROWNIES......YeeeeHaaaa.
Fair trade I think ?

Maybe you could do everything in 7's. Like get her 7 roses, 7 cards, 7 small gifts, a 7 course dinner, stuff like that.

Yeah, right. My wife and I got married when we were 20. She says she's going to live to be 100. If we both last that long, I don't plan on buying 80 roses, 80 cards, an 80 course meal...lol

Peace.

LOL Peter! My wife was 17(3days from 18) and I was 20. Yes, we were young, but we did pray long and hard about it first and I would not change anything....and if we live that long I would be lucky to be awake 80 minutes lol.

I suggest spending the entire day with her...from the time you get up until the time you go to bed. Make everything a surprise though. Get up in the morning and tell her to put on something nice. Then take her to a really nice place for breakfast or brunch (really nice hotels usually have the best brunch in a really classy atmosphere). Then surprise her with a trip to the mall or her favorite place to shop and let her spend a little money. Give her a limit and tell her to take her time. Sit and wait on her patiently and don't look like you're in a hurry or bored (take a magazine or something). Then, maybe you could go home and watch a movie together or make love (gotta leave time and energy for that
Congratulations on 7 years.
Be blessed!

Hi,
Just had our 17th anniversary. (Oct 4th) Suprised her with - a getaway 'camping' weekend. Kids to my parents, fortunate that dad let us borrow the RV - THANKS DAD ... steaks on an open fire... looking at the stars by the campfire. The campsite (state park) wasn't any thing very big or fancy- we did take a hike the next day... next year tho - I'll make it 2 days or 3 -just to RELAX and enjoy 'some quiet time'. We both shared duties on the cooking - I planned all the menus and did the shopping the day before...

She had been hinting on a gold necklace - picked up that for her too (she did exchange it later for the 'right' (more expensive) one.

She had been 'hinting' as well about joining a health club - picked up an e-book on Fitness.. that one flopped...

One year we went for a weekend to St. Louis MO. and visited the Botanical Gardens - something like that... we enjoyed.

Or - even 'just a movie night' out....

My wife likes 'time spent with her'...

Chocolate usually is always good ....

Have fun!
