Every year, there are a few dates that you should never forget with your significant other: Your partner’s birthday, Valentine’s Day, and most importantly, your wedding anniversary.

If you forget your anniversary while in a. relationship with someone who really cares, you may NEVER be forgiven.

For some missing a wedding anniversary is equivalent to mass slaughter or being cruel to puppies!

There is simply no justification. It only occurs once a year! Still, coming up with new ideas for how to commemorate and where to go can be difficult. 

You can be creative when choosing a location to commemorate your anniversary, especially if it’s a surprise, but nothing beats bringing your spouse to one of the “oh-my-god-did-they-really-do-that?” places.

Some locations are simply unsuitable for a wedding celebration. To avoid embarrassment, here’s some useful advice on where NOT to take your spouse on your anniversary.

Skip these locations on your anniversary

• Zoo: Roar, snort, squeak, neigh, hiss, and oink likely are not noises you’ll enjoy on that one day a year when your partner needs to feel like the most important person in the universe.
• A sporting event: “Goooooaaaaaaaal” is not what you will scream out at the end of the evening if you decide to take your spouse on a supposedly romantic trip to a football game. The only exception here would be if both people involved absolutely love watching sports together.
• Mcdonalds (or any fast food joint): Your partner will NOT want fries with that on this significant date! It may seem ridiculous to have to state this, but there have been instances of deluded folks believing that this is a fun idea.
• Wherever you met your ex: Save yourself; no matter how nice the location is, if you hosted your ex there, don’t bring your partner. Choose a place that’s special to the two of you and unrelated to any past romances you’ve had.

Finally…

Try something different and make the most of your “me” time. Simply plan something romantic and nurturing for the two of you and manage everything thoughtfully.
