What makes a 10-year wedding anniversary special?

Not everyone makes it to the 10-year mark. It takes serious commitment and genuine love to be able to stick by one another for a whole decade. Celebrating your 10th wedding anniversary is a great way to look back on how far you’ve come as a couple. After all, anniversaries give us a chance to show our partners that we’re grateful to have them in their lives.

What you can get your partner

You can usually tell how well someone knows you by the gifts they give you. This adds quite a bit of pressure when choosing a 10-year wedding anniversary gift but it’s not something to get intimidated about. What matters most is the meaning behind the present, not how expensive it is. 

Traditionally, couples are encouraged to get each other 10-year wedding anniversary gifts made out of tin because it symbolises longevity and resilience in a relationship. But if you’re looking for something more modern, these gift ideas will help.

Buy a personalised music box

Most couples have a special love song that reminds them of one another. A music box with an engraved personal message or photo is more than enough to melt hearts. Hearing this delicate melody every time they wind the music box will be a great way to remember your 10th anniversary.

Daffodils

Flowers are a classic gift to give your partner, but did you know that there’s a type of flower for every occasion? For 10-year anniversaries, daffodils are the symbol of happiness and new beginnings. A bouquet of daffodils are sure to brighten up a room as well as your partner’s day.

If you want something a little more permanent, consider preserving them in a beautiful glass frame. This way you can keep them forever.

Сегодня мне написала покупательница - купила гербарии в подарок, но оставила их все себе😉🌱 Бывает и так))) И это лучшая похвала, на мой взгляд 🌱 . Да, я обещала, что на этой неделе создам несколько новых картин из растений в стекле, но теперь не очень уверена в этом. Добрая фея Полина в отпуске😎. Ждём возвращения))) . По поводу заказов на гербарии - я пока не представляю как это можно сделать. Обычно рисую цветами так, как вижу сама. И это получается здорово 😉 Угадать чужие желания пока не умею🤓.

Time capsule

After following a routine for a while, it’s easy to lose track of how much time has passed. By making a time capsule together, you’ll have treasured memories to look back on. You can include love letters, photos, or anything meaningful to your relationship. It’s a great way to see how your love has grown over the years once you open it up.

What you can do together

If you’re not the type of couple to get each other gifts, you can find something to do for the day instead. It may seem like you’ve done it all after 10 years together, but we’re about to prove you wrong. If you love spending quality time and creating new memories with your spouse, you should definitely give some of these plans a try.

Go on a road trip

For couples that absolutely love car rides and the open road, planning a road trip would definitely be a fun way to celebrate. You can visit a nearby beach, go to an amusement park, or even have a nice picnic by a lake together. It really depends on what you both enjoy doing. To make sure there’s never a dull moment, you can play your favourite songs and sing along while you’re in the car.

Experiencing something as beautiful as this will definitely be a romantic night to remember. Check out this list of places that provide the most incredible views of the Northern Lights night sky.

Plan a staycation at a hotel

For couples with busy schedules, it’s time to set aside your laptops and paperwork to spend a relaxing day together. Ideally, you can book a hotel room for one night to really commit to spending quality time with your partner. You can fill up the day by talking, watching movies, and eating your favourite food in bed. 

Sign up for workshop classes

If you and your partner have different hobbies, it would be a great idea to try out each other’s interests. Let your differences bring you closer. If one of you loves cooking and the other loves painting, sign up for both workshops. Let loose and trust your significant other to guide you in learning something new.

There you have it. Regardless of what you give or what you do, the most important part of the day is who you’re with. 10 years of marriage is a pretty big deal and all couples deserve to take some time off and relax together.
