At least you remembered, though. Science tells us that men have more of a tendency to forget things than women. Give yourself some points.

But don’t let that stop you from planning an amazing anniversary.

Read on to discover romantic anniversary activities to make this anniversary memorable and avoid a night in the doghouse.

Romantic Anniversary Ideas

There are so many things to do on your anniversary, but romantic anniversary ideas often create feelings of love toward your partner and can better solidify your relationship.

Romantic Dinner And A Movie

Having a romantic dinner does not have to equal a maitre’d and $100 bottles of wine.

Of course, you can find a romantic place for dinner. It could be a place you’ve never been, a favorite location, or a place with a special memory.

Make this even better by sending flowers as an invitation. Unless your partner says explicitly, “Flowers are a waste of money,” send a surprise bouquet to them at work or home. Top it off with an invitation to dinner or other activity you have planned.

Take the romance up a notch and take your love shopping for a new outfit and all the accessories a day or two before your dinner. Make sure you clean up, too!

Other Romantic Dinner Ideas

Don’t fret if you can’t afford a fabulous romantic dinner. Cook a favorite meal at home and create romance with candles, setting a lovely table, and even offering to clean up afterward.

Or combine your homemade dinner with a roaring fire, dim lighting, soft music, to create an incredibly romantic atmosphere.

Movie

After dinner, plan a movie. Is there a movie your partner has been dying to see? Buy tickets and surprise them!

If going out isn’t their thing, let them choose a movie on Netflix or however you receive movies in your home and snuggle on the couch.

Not into movies? Favorite band or artist coming to town? Grab tickets and make it a night out!

Getaway

Is there someplace you’ve always wanted to travel together? Surprise your partner with a surprise weekend getaway!

Getting away on a romantic getaway can do wonders for your relationships and makes for a really fun anniversary idea, no matter where you go.

Got kids? Arrange for them to stay with grandparents or other family members you trust and surprise your spouse!

Here are some ideas for your getaway.

Spend The Night in A Hotel

Hotel staffs know how to bring the romance. Call ahead and see if they make preparations for creating a romantic atmosphere in your hotel room. Go the extra mile and pack their bags for them, and be ready to walk out the door when they return from work.

Visit a Winery

Wineries are relaxing. Take some time to yourselves by wine-tasting and soaking in the scenery together.

A Day of ‘Firsts’

If you’re having a local getaway, make it meaningful by planning a day where you had all your first moments together: where you met, first kiss, the first date, your proposal location, and the like. Relive the memories together and share with your partner what they meant to you.

On this getaway, give a special keepsake box. Find a store that specializes in personalizing keepsake boxes and have one made. In the box, put all of the photos, love notes, and other dating memorabilia you want to remember and gift it to your partner.

Cabin in The Woods

If your partner loves the outdoors, plan a hike or a camping trip and stay in a cabin in the woods. The fireplace, seclusion, and the surrounding environment can be fun to experience. The mountains or national park are great places to enjoy the outdoors together.

A Night of Pampering

Pamper your partner with luxury at home or a spa! Grab some massage oil and dim the lighting to make it a genuinely sensual and enjoyable experience.

Homemade coupon books are a fun addition to this idea and add a certain amount of excitement. Make a coupon book at home and add things like, 10-minute massage, foot rub, or wait on them hand and foot while they enjoy a bath alone.

Romantic Baths

Rose petals, champagne, and your partner’s favorite scented bath oils or bubbles creates an incredibly romantic atmosphere. Top it off with strawberries or chocolates and have a fantastic time together.

Sex

Make this night all about them. What positions would they like to try? What feels good? Suggest making love in a new location. Be curious and loving about their desires. Stay away from anything tacky time!

Use the kama sutra to explore new sexual positions or ideas. Ask your partner if they’d like to try anything new to spice things up, and be kind and respectful towards their thoughts.

Themed Anniversary

Are you celebrating a milestone anniversary this year? Use that to create a themed anniversary revolving around your milestone.

For example, if you’ve been married ten years, write a love note about ten things you love about your spouse. Whether it’s one long love letter, or several scattered throughout the house, writing your feeling and thoughts never disappoints.

Do Their Chores

Sometimes the best romance is doing that chore your partner dislikes. Maybe you could unload the dishwasher or fold the laundry or sort through the junk mail for them. Set up some time for them to relax while you handle their housework for a day.

Take a Class

Does your partner enjoy learning about everything? Take a class together! It could be painting, pottery, cooking, wine tasting, dancing – something that is bound to thrill your partner and bring you closer together.
