Host a Picnic Anniversary Party

There's something about hosting a small, intimate party with a picnic theme.

Have an Anniversary Vacation Getaway

Do your friends and family long to getaway for vacation? If so, anniversary vacations are an excellent way to gather everyone together to celebrate, unwind and get away from the rigors of everyday life. Instead of focusing on anniversary gift by year, select a vacation destination you each have been dreaming about and make your plans.

There are many ways to incorporate cotton into the theme including cotton tablecloths, wrapping tin buckets of flowers with twine, using swaths of cotton fabric to create bows around tin buckets of ice holding beverages and tying cotton fabric to the backs of chairs.

Put a Twist on the Wood Theme

The fifth anniversary is all about the wood theme. Instead of exchanging gifts made of wood or using it as a theme for a party, why not take things a bit further with an adventure. Gather friends and family and go zip-lining or climb through trails where there are wood plank bridges.
