Revisit the Place you First Visited Together
It could be a cafeteria if you were dating first or the place you first visited as a married couple. The human brain’s associative memory works in mysterious ways.

If you can recollect what you were like then, it would be fun to compare the present, the good and the bad.
Gift Something to Symbolize your Marriage
Having spent some substantial time together, you possibly know about each other’s likes and dislikes. So if the husband is a watch, tie, or sunglasses collector, you can add to his collection. Wives generally value memories and expressive things, so you can visit someplace like a custom jeweler in Seattle or order a cake from the place your wedding cake was from. Get something symbolic of your time together as a couple.
Cook Your Partner’s Favorite Dish
Does the husband like pasta bolognese? And the wife has a sweet tooth? Fulfill each other’s wishes by cooking something special. Choose a time to present your respective dishes. Maybe the husband can present a cheesecake for bed and breakfast and please the wife. The wife can then choose to take control of the kitchen for lunch or dinner. It’s a win-win situation for both at the end of the day!
Plan a Get-Together With Your Closest Friends

Because your friends would already know of your special day, you can expect some gifts like a bottle of wine as a present. As the anniversary couple, you need not cook for everyone. Just order what everyone likes and share the shiraz!
