Spending
quality time with your partner on the anniversary date is a way to solidify and
strengthen your relationship. You must already be aware of some of the
traditional ways in which couples spend their anniversary together. If you are
lucky to have your anniversary date in the summer, you can get creative and do
something memorable.
Here are the 8 inexpensive
anniversary ideas for this summer
1. See a live standup comedy act
together
Laughing
it out together at a live standing comedy act is one of the best ways to spend
your anniversary. It’s cultural to take your date for a stand-up comedy event.
So, you are likely to meet other couples at the event as well. Instead of
giving a traditional and boring gift, you are giving your partner and experience
of a lifetime.
2. Camping
Nothing is as inexpensive as going out in nature and spending time under the open sky. You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on hotel bills. Your partner will appreciate your audacity to plan such adventurous anniversary date.
3. Visit the spot you two first
met
Visiting
the location where you spend your first seconds, minutes, or hours together can
bring back a lot of memories and make your anniversary a special one. It is
inexpensive yet meaningful.
4. Unwind and relax in a spa
Everyone
needs a relaxing massage one in a while. What better time to gift someone a
message than your anniversary day. Spas offer discount coupons for couples all
the time. Make sure you book an appointment way before the anniversary date.
5. Binge-watch your favorite TV
show
Watching
your favorite TV show with your loved ones is priceless. Order some delicious
food and enjoy your anniversary date in the comfort of your home. An
anniversary date in a fancy restaurant is a thing of the past.
6. Go out for a coffee date
This
is a simple but time-tested anniversary date idea for unmarried couples. Every
city has a coffee shop where couples congregate to spend time together.
Moreover, having a coffee is even cheaper than going out camping. You get the
same quiet and intimate experience without needing to travel.
7. Hiking
This
activity is getting very popular and more couples are realizing how important
it is to spend time in nature together. You can walk on unexplored trails and
have adventurous experiences that you never had before. Hiking also builds team
spirit and solidarity in couples.
8. Volunteer to do something kind to someone in need
Helping someone in need is one of the best anniversary ideas you can indulge in this summer. There are some charity organizations that let you volunteer in their events. If you are into animals, you can work for the national park by signing up for their Volunteers-In-Parks program. Some of the positions do require specific skills but you will find generic work as well.
Conclusion
Don’t
be one of those people who save money on everything only to blow it off on a
vacation or a date. An anniversary is another event and you should do proper
budgeting to make sure you don’t overspend.
