Make a Romantic Playlist
Back in the day, your parents probably made a mixed tape for their significant other. But, times have moved on. Now, everybody has their music on their smartphones and you will have to think about this if you are planning a 2nd wedding anniversary. For example, if you and your partner love music, you can make them an anniversary playlist. This is going to contain all of the songs they love, including your favorite couple music. You can listen to the playlist together and dance the night away.
Arrange a Mini Road Trip
Getting away for the day can be exactly what you need for a 2nd wedding anniversary. So, why not arrange a mini road trip? You can jump in the car and visit a town nearby that you have never gone to before. This can be a fun day of exploring that you can enjoy together and you do not have to travel far to get there. You can take a picnic with you or choose to visit a nice café there. Spending the day away from home is going to be the time you need together on your 2nd wedding anniversary. Make it special!
Go to a Sports Game
Are you and your partner avid sports fans? How long has it been since you have been to a game? No matter what sport you and your partner love, you can purchase tickets for your 2nd wedding anniversary. This can give you something to look forward to and it is different for the day. You can enjoy the excitement together and make a day of it. You can even purchase some matching t-shirts or sports merchandise to make the game even better.
Read Your Vows
Do you still have a copy of your vows lying around? Perhaps it is time to reminisce on your 2nd wedding anniversary and read them again to your partner. Not only will this take you back to your wedding day but it is also going to show your significant other how much you mean to them. This is a thoughtful gift and they are going to feel very loved. What’s more, you can add any more details you can think of and things you have achieved over the first two years of being married.
Make Plans for the Future
Do not forget that you are only celebrating your 2nd wedding anniversary. In other words, you are hopefully going to have a lot more years to spend together! On your special day, do not forget to look forward to the future and make some fun plans. Perhaps this includes arranging a vacation and going traveling together soon. Maybe you would like to have kids sooner rather than later. Have this discussion with your partner and talk about the exciting future you are going to have as a couple.
