Do you celebrate anniversaries with your partner? And if so which ones do you celebrate? I knew a couple once who used to celebrate month anniversaries. So each month they would do something which seemed a little overkill for me. I grew up in a family with parents who never did anything for anniversaries really. My GF and I will probably do something for our first year anniversary, but nothing big.

My boyfriend and I do. We don't do anything huge but we go out for dinner and maybe see a movie or something. Our second anniversary is coming up in June, and we'll probably do the same thing again. I am just a really low-maintenance person lol

Yeah year ones do seem nice. I just think the people who do one every month is a little bit overkill. Although, if it just involves a nice dinner or something once a month then that wouldn't be too bad.

Yeah it's kind of obnoxious to celebrate every month. I guess I can understand in the beginning of a relationship. My SO and I posted about it on facebook for the first month and for 6 months, but nothing else really. And we didn't celebrate it either

Haha yeah, the day after our 6 month I said "happy 6 months for yesterday" in a message on FB but that was all haha.

We celebrate every year, and that's enough for us. Anything more than that feels forced. I mean, we're always showing our love for one another in all sorts of ways anyway, which is more important in my book. Having said that, it is fun to go to a movie and a favourite eatery once a year as it gets us out of the house doing something interesting.

Eph do you celebrate the day of your wedding or the day that you first started dating?

The day of our wedding. I don't think either of us can remember the exact day we started dating because it's something we kind of transitioned into somewhere along the way without really realising it. If that makes sense.

Yeah that makes sense. My Mum and her partner are like that.

My parents celebrate their wedding day and the say they met, which would be too much for me. My s.o. and I have never celebrated our anniversary (it'll be 5 years this year in August, if our relationship lasts that long), but we don't celebrate anything, now that I think of it. Not even our birthdays. We do celebrate major achievements, though, like getting our degrees, but in those cases we usually don't do much more than going to the cinema or cooking something awesome.

My hubby and I aren't big into celebrations either. Every single year we forget our wedding anniversary... and then laugh ourselves silly about it when some other family member reminds us of it. Still, we do go away for a weekend together every year in the early spring, just the two of us. I think that's important. Some parents get so involved with their kids and family life that they substitute their relationship as a family for the one they once had with each other. I don't think that's a good idea, 'cause kids will eventually grow up and leave home. I'm of the opinion that a family relationship should be added on to the one that already exists between two people, it shouldn't replace it. We do celebrate stuff as a family too though: birthdays and Christmas being the main ones.

We've only been together for 7 months, but I usually mention every months anniversary because I always count things and keep a track on days, weeks, months and dates. I did however asked if the proper anniversary should be celebrated this year, I was told that we are going to celebrate it every year.
I think it's a nice thing to do. It's cute.
