Overview
Your anniversary is a perfect time to celebrate the continuity of your relationship. It also gives you a chance to create new memories, while honoring your history. Show your partner that your heart is still full of love and that your mind is still seeking ways to please him. Take a break from your everyday routine to give romance and passion a chance to flourish.

Step 1
Keep the spirit of the event in mind. Approach planning your anniversary with a positive attitude. Let your spouse know that you're committed to making beautiful memories. Avoid letting factors including financial or time limitations frustrate you. Remember that true romance is best experienced in an inviting atmosphere.
-
Step 2
Leave room for surprises. Make a commitment to remaining spontaneous and open to deviations in the name of excitement. While making formal plans can help streamline your celebration, constructing a rigid schedule can make it seem more like a business arrangement. Presenting your spouse with a few well-crafted, yet unexpected, actions can keep her anxiously awaiting your next move. Examples include writing her an original romantic poem or lining your hotel room with her favorite flowers.

Step 3
Opt for a change of scenery. Realize that leaving your everyday surroundings can increase your overall excitement for this special occasion. Choose a place that you both will enjoy, as happiness is an essential part of creating passion. Selecting a location that you've previously visited or one that you've been dreaming about can set the stage for magical moments. Ban talk of subjects such as work life, children and bills, as this can ruin romantic moods.

Step 4
Pay homage to your past. Find ways to incorporate mementoes of your time together in your romantic celebration. This may include bringing along old love letters or peering through the pages of scrapbooks and photo albums together. Visiting the site of your marriage proposal or looking at your wedding album can also invoke pleasant memories.
