First Year Theme
- Are You Characters?
My husband and I were married young, so for our first
anniversary we bought paper theme park tickets and had
one of those funny cartoon drawings to serve as a
reminder of the way we look and the fun we had.

Make a Photo - A
Piece of Art
On our first anniversary, I took one of our favorite
photos from our honeymoon and had it sketched by my dad
who is an artist. The result was a truly amazing gift
that we both enjoy, and my wife loves it.
Online resources try here for a photo
pencil sketch.
Thanks - Carl
Romantic Touch
Make a message in a bottle. Go to a flea market and look
for a cool glass bottle, then write a personal message
just for him / her. Include all the reasons you love
them. If possible, stage some place where your partner
can find the bottle. Pool, bathtub, lake, etc...
(remember to get a cork!)
They will love it. No Time? We found it online: Message
in a Bottle
Thanks - Anna
Old is New
Again
For our first anniversary I wanted to cement
my wife's place in our new family and saw that clocks were a
traditional first anniversary gift. I had an antique mantle clock that
my grandparents had owned that had been broken and in a box for the past
50 years. I got it out and had it completely restored. It was a
family heirloom before and it is again and it made the perfect gift.
Thanks - Craig - Tampa, FL
Plan Ahead for
the First
This was my wife's idea. The night before of wedding we
wrote each other a letter about what we were feeling at that
time. On our 1st anniversary, we gave each other our letter. This
takes a little planning the the memories are well worth it.
Thanks - Everett - Angier, NC
First Year - Pen,
Paper & Heart
For me first "paper" anniversary I bought a
beautiful journal and wrote a letter to my husband about our first year
together. He in turn had to write something to me. Every year this
will be a tradition and I think that years from now it will be
something we will treasure! PS - I also got him tickets to a show he's
been wanting to see. Thanks - Linaya
First & Second Year - Creative Ideas
Our anniversary is in December, so I always make a
Holiday oriented item as part of our anniversary gift.
First year - I made an ornament by placing Christmas postage stamps glued to
paper-mache ball. For the cotton anniversary, I selected Christmas material
and a pattern and had a friend help me sew a Christmas tree skirt. I
also made matching Christmas ball ornaments by, you guessed it, gluing
scraps of the leftover material on the paper-mache balls!
Thanks - Andrew
First Year -
Paper
I found it difficult to find a paper gift to give to my husband for our first anniversary. I
finally came across a great idea! I found a poem depicting one year of marriage and added
our picture to it.
Thanks, Sascha - Anchorage, AL
First Year - Pen & Paper
For the first year anniversary, I wrote a poem based on our relationship and wrote it onto old looking paper (beige,
tan) in calligraphy. I then burned the edges of the paper, then
mounted and framed it with a red background. It came out awesome and
made my wife cry.
Thanks - Eric - Francestown, NH
First Year - Strike a Pose
I was in an absolute panic while trying to think of something for our first wedding anniversary that was made of
paper - and then I came up with the perfect solution! I went to a
professional photographer and had "boudoir photos" taken - they were,
after all, printed on paper! They were somewhat pricey, but to this
day, he treasures them very much!
Thanks - April - Houston, TX
First Year Wedding Anniversary Gift - That's The
Ticket
My husband loves sports and tickets are made of paper, so I bought my husband tickets
to the upcoming game, Giants/Redskins football game. (He's a Giant fan, I'm
a Redskin fan)... Fun for us both! (Tickets to any
event that you both enjoy works)
Thanks, Serena S. - West Paterson, NJ
If they like to dine out and go to shows, get
them an entertainment
book, the new ones are due out
soon, so get the 2006 or 2007 edition - Thanks Michelle -
