Helen I'll never reach that, we married 8yrs ago. We do nothing, apart from the odd meal, but each anniversary is so important to us.
We kiss, we hug, we tell each other we are special, we say I love you as we do most days but on that day we say happy anniversary also.

We were in Germany staying with our daughter & sil who was in the Army and stationed there. They booked a restaurant and took us to dinner. On the table was champagne and a present to us of cut glass decanters glasses and a silver tray, Had a wonderful evening being fussed by the waiters and even had our special tune played for us by the resident music quartet

My parents never really had much of a do for anniversaries, they didn't often go out except to visit relatives etc. When it came to their 40th, I and my brothers arranged to get as many people as possible together, we booked a venue and arranged food etc to be provided including a cake. Their anniversary was just a few days after Christmas so we wrote out an invitation like the ones we had sent out in secret, inviting them to their own party. They were very pleased and I think enjoyed their special night altho they were disappointed that some people didn't come because of snow, it wasn't that deep but they were wary of travelling a few miles. Mum and Dad didn't meet till they were in their thirties so Dad was 75 and Mum 69 at the time.
Dad developed lung cancer a few years later and died soon after their 44th Wedding Anniversary so I am glad we gave them one special party to enjoy.

Our 25th we went on a cruise. This years it's our 30th, but we have no plans for the special day. It's 18th July so I know there is no secret plan.

My parents 50th we did a party in our garden as Dad was disabled we just had family, their nephews nieces' brothers sisters +in laws. Grandchild. My sister and I had a lovely cake made, put food out, and trimmed the garden with gold ballons, Mum and Dad were pleased with that.
