What to do with a guy who doesn't really see the need in giving flowers or cards etc?

I am dating a very sweet, respectful guy. We just celeberated our one month anniversary. B/c it%26#039;s only been one month, I decided to make him a small, home made (personalized) card, as a nice gesture for the occassion. He did not give me a card or anything but did take me out and pay for a nice dinner. I do not mind NOT getting anything from him--as he did pay for dinner and it%26#039;s only been one month. However, some of my friends are telling me that he should have given me something (i.e. a card or gift or flowers etc). I would think that for more important milestones, my guy would actually do something, therefore I do not feel the need to make a scene over a month anniversary. Any thoughts on this scenario? Are my friends being overly critical or should I say something to my guy?

I%26#039;d say your friends all sound like border-line personalities and I would listen very carefully to all there expectations, ridicule, and controlling that way your new boyfriend will dump you and you%26#039;ll be back in the market looking for someone new in no time at all and then all your so-called friends will disappear!!!
Reply:if you want him to celebrate things like this you really need to tell him ahead of time in a nice, nonthreatening way. please don%26#039;t make him read your mind to find out things that are important to you
Reply:Don%26#039;t say anything to him...just continue to make him cards and do sweet little things like that for him. It%26#039;s still early on, and he may have cute stuff planned for later on in your relationship!


What would your friends have you tell him anyway, %26quot;hey, you need to buy me a card?%26quot; You cant demand thoughtfulness. I have learned this. You can set an example through your actions and hopefully he will follow your example.


I think your friends in this case are being overly critical, which makes sense because they love you!

P.S. I already asked this question before, but am looking for more opinions.

What to do with a guy who doesn%26#039;t really see the need in giving flowers or cards etc?
it sounds like we are dating the same guy!!! i had the same problem at one time. my guy was really sweet but was lacking in the romance department. a lot of guys don%26#039;t realize that women truly appreciate small thoughtful gestures. i talked to my guy and told him that while i do appreciate the things he does for me (buying me dinner, taking me out on the town,e tc) i would like for him to do smaller things to let me know he%26#039;s care. since that convo, he has really stepped up to the plate! so, if this situation bothers you, talk to your guy. if not, forget what your friends say.





also, stop telling your friends about everything that happens between you and your man. sometimes, they will not always steer you in the right direction.
Reply:My opinion is that you must be about 14 years old to celebrate a 1 month anniversary and worry about what your friends say.
Reply:He did get you something a full tummy. Guys don%26#039;t get all involved in anniversaries. I do think your friends are over reacting I mean it%26#039;s a month for crying out loud.
Reply:really would not read too much into this. he probably feels that a card which will eventually be discarded and flowers will eventually die is just ironic. and feels that it would e ebtter actually doing soemthing with you too create memories of you and him together.


dont worry it is a good thing. he is just more of the do stuff with than do stuff for u type of guy which is good.
Reply:Well, as a guy, I don%26#039;t understand this thing about one month anniversaries. I mean, I can understand a year, but monthly anniversaries are just too much. It just feels like saying %26quot;Phew, we made it to a month%26quot;.





I%26#039;d do something amazingly nice for her, on the first anniversary, and in the meantime give her flowers, and random cards to know that she%26#039;s on my thoughts.





Now that said, maybe he is a different kinda guy. There are many variations of us, actually :) So, talk to him... casually bring up the conversation of anniversaries and ask him how you should plan to celebrate your anniversary. It will give you the chance to open up and discuss more on whats going on inside...





This is nothing critical at all. Don%26#039;t scare the poor guy away :)
Reply:no, u should not say anything. ur friends r being overcritical. it is a 1 month aniversary, hes not proposing and ur not married. As u said he bought u a nice dinner and u were happy. So leave it at that! Do not take all ur relationship advice from ur friends. You have to follow YOUR heart and YOUR head or else u will fail.
Reply:Send yourself flowers and then tell him %26quot;thank you so much for the flowers you sent me! The card said anonymous - but I know it just HAD to be you! You are the sweetest man alive!!!%26quot; Maybe he%26#039;ll get the idea and be a little jealous at the same time!!
Reply:your Friends are too critical .. romance is not doing the sweet things on %26quot;critical times%26quot; but saying how beautiful he finds you every day and things along those lines, how long you have been together should not be as important as how much you care for one another
Reply:It%26#039;s not the object he gives you but the time and love. What are flowers something to waste money on there going to die with time you want something that is going to last with the relationship. What do people do with store bought cards they thow them in a corner to never be seen again a waste of money. Moneys not what a relationship is built on, IT%26#039;S LOVE!!!!. So in the end a homemade gift comes from the heart it%26#039;s true love. Just be happy he%26#039;s showning he loves you!!!!!!!!
Reply:If you don%26#039;t say anything and resent him for it you will be to blame. If your feeling something tell him honesty is the best policy If he changes you will know it was for you. If he does not you will know how things will be if you pursue this relationship with him. you cant make him change only ask. better to know what your in for that%26#039;s why you are dating in the first place.


p.s. friends always seem to look for drama.
Reply:Well, I think there should be bigger milestones. One month isn%26#039;t a big deal. On your one year anniversary, there should be tokens of affection. But, just a warning, to have expected tokens on milestones really isn%26#039;t spontaneous. I%26#039;ve been married fifteen years, and it really is the %26quot;just because%26quot; flowers and tokens that still make my heart go pitter patter.

Am I supposed receive a gift from my wife on our 11th anniversary?

Seems like my wife has been less than toughtful on our anniversary, again! Not even a card. Is this normal in a marriage?


Or does she not care? I have never forgotten, she always gets flowers, plus a gift and dinner.

Am I supposed receive a gift from my wife on our 11th anniversary?
hmmmmm


my husband and I always exchange cards and some little something..a special dinner....a weekend away....a small gift.....something ....ask her what she is thinking? let her know that it bothers you that she just doesn%26#039;t think to do anything and that it hurts your feelings....unless she knows how you feel, it may never change...good luck and nice to see a sensitive man on here for a change
Reply:oh you are too sweet! even though she may not care enough to get you something...never change what is inside of you!
Reply:yes she is very thoughtless
Reply:Only if she chooses to give you something. We only go out to eat and have fun in bed.
Reply:hmmmmm...didn%26#039;t she give u kids, some lovin in bed, affection??? If your materialistic, then ur missing the whole point of marriage.
Reply:I think a married couple should give each other gifts on their anniversary or agree not to give gifts but do something special to celebrate. Would you say that your wife is a selfish person generally? Or is she just like this about anniversaries? From now on, you might want to forget the flowers and gift and just agree to go out to dinner. Maybe she isn%26#039;t the sentimental type and you are. Does she get you something for your birthday? Christmas? It could be that she feels that you were lucky that she agreed to marry you, so she feels that you should come bearing gifts and that she, like a queen, receives them. Not knowing the two of you, it is difficult to say what the problem is. But if it hurts you that she doesn%26#039;t acknowledge your anniversary, then you should tell her that you are hurt by her thoughtlessness and ask her why she doesn%26#039;t want to celebrate your marriage.Believe me, many many women would love to have a husband who brought flowers and a gift plus took her out to dinner on their anniversary. They would be in heaven!
Reply:i would talk it over with her and ask her what is the problem...ur supose to get a little something...even if it is a rol in the hay
Reply:Uh....YES. Your situation is not normal. Does she love you? If you think so, are you sure? Is that her nature not to get you gifts? Has she ever gotten you a gift? Are there other ways she shows you that she loves you?





I know I%26#039;d get one and be expected to get one for my wife of 11 years.
Reply:Well, I dunno, maybe she%26#039;s just not the %26quot;sentimental%26quot; type. It%26#039;s not the card once a year that matters, it%26#039;s how she acts towards you every day of the year. Does she not act like she cares? If not, there%26#039;s your answer.
Reply:You are the husband, it is your job to remember anniversaries. Remember she accepted your invitation for marriage and you vowed to cherish her.
Reply:Ouch sorry for you....





Does she do something for you like cook your favorite dinner or get dressed up for the bedroom if she does not buy you anything?





Maybe you need to sit her down and talk to her about how you feel..
Reply:The wife is the one that is always more thoughtful in gifts...I think there might be somthing wrong there..
Reply:Seems like a little bit of a role reversal...usually it is the husband who is forgetful. tell her how you feel. In psych I learned the ebst when to communicate feelings is: %26quot;When you______I felt______because_______%26quot;

I want to give my parents a party for their 40th wedding anniversary, any suggestions?

When they got married, they had a very small wedding and no reception. Not sure if I should give them the reception they did not have or something more like a luau. Anniversary is in May. I have asked them and they said that they will leave that up to me. Also need suggestions on what type of flowers to use.

I want to give my parents a party for their 40th wedding anniversary, any suggestions?
Have a videographer (or do a Power Point presentation) of photos from when your parents werebabies...children...teens, and gradually when they were dating...married...held the babies for first time. It%26#039;s like a look back at the history. A luau is a nice idea for May. Go to Oriental Trading for great prices and supplies of party favors and decorations for any type of theme
Reply:U got face a same problem like my setuation, may be 5 years ago i want that for my parents. and then I invite them to move the longest beach in World %26quot;Cox%26#039;s Bazar Beach of Bay of Bangol%26quot; in Bangladesh. and take a 5days holyday. And they seemed very hapy to gave them the happy time on 25th Anneversary.....





thanks





wish u best luck. If u wish u can try to do to go any where in short holyday where ever thay didn%26#039;t go.

Reply:I%26#039;d rent out a nice place or set up a party at their house. Nice elegant and simple decorations. I don%26#039;t think I%26#039;d do a theme. If so, I%26#039;d do a theme that was focused on them. Something like %26quot;Fourty Years of Bliss%26quot; with them as the focal point. Dinner with friends and family. I%26#039;d use white roses because of what they represent...or a nice summer floral boquet for the time of year.
Reply:hibiscus flowers,poppy, lily, orchids,etc.


you could take them to a nice resturant
Reply:that is real nice of you.i have one suggestion include balloons, gold and white
Reply:The traditional %26quot;gift%26quot; for 40th wedding anniversary is Rubies. So think RED. If red roses get too expensive, use red carnations or a red and white mixture of flowers.





I don%26#039;t know where you live to be able to say if a luau would be a really good idea or if a BBQ picnic at a park%26#039;s pavilion might be better or if you need to be concerned at the temperature!





For my parents%26#039; 50th wedding (golden) anniversary, I got yellow sweetheart roses and lots of daisies...Yellow was close to gold as well as my father%26#039;s favorite colored rose and daisies are my mother%26#039;s favorite. I put 13 daisies and 2 roses in each vase. I had one vase per table and then let some of the people take them home afterwards...I made sure I kept one vase for each family members%26#039; household and gave dear friends of my parents the others.





My father passed away after 61 1/2 years of marriage, but my mother is still hanging in!





I%26#039;m glad you want to do something special for your parents%26#039; 40th wedding anniversary.

Are you supposed to give/recieve a gift on your one year anniversary?

My boyfriend and I did NOTHING for our one year. We went to dinner at Red Lobster..we were both really tired from work and it wasn%26#039;t a good night. I thought we were supposed to get each other a gift. I was hoping he would at least buy me flowers? What%26#039;s going on? Wasn%26#039;t it supposed to be better? Am I expecting too much? Most guys have bought me jewelery or taken me somewhere nice for our one year. I wasn%26#039;t expecting jewelery or anything expensive...but I was suprised because I was really happy it was our anniversary.

Are you supposed to give/recieve a gift on your one year anniversary?
Yes, you are. At the very least a card or flowers. I can understand being tired and doing something that night but hopefully that weekend you do something to celebrate. When two people don%26#039;t take time to celebrate the milestones such as anniversaries then they start to take for granted what they have. Why didn%26#039;t you at least give him a gift?
Reply:Yall should%26#039;ve done something, but I don%26#039;t blame you because when yall make it to year number 3 then it%26#039;s time to celebrate, because most couples divorce by then.
Reply:Its like traditional that you exchange gifts but not really important. You said yourself that you both were tired and it wasnt that good of a day so i wouldnt worry about it.

I want to send my wife some flowers to work what would you ladies prefer?

A Bouquets nicely wrapped or a Bouquets in a vase. I think a vase would be best what do you think? its for out anniversary I would be sending them to her work no idea when the would arrive and shes not so good at arrangments of flowers





here is a section. I like the ones at Next.co.uk i am looking for delivery and am spending £30 including delivery for tommorrow. we are going for a meal and have already been to Italy last week.


Look on there and add any links you thik she may like for delivery tomorrow though. Thanks

I want to send my wife some flowers to work what would you ladies prefer?
yeh would love flowers sent to my work, obviously from my hubby not your lovely self. Just pick what you think looks really nice yourself, I would say 30 quid is a reasonable price for a decent bouquet. I prefer the ones in the vase as at least they will keep till she gets them home. I got a lovely bunch in a vase when I was in hospital having my babies and they were really nicely arranged. Good luck and enjoy your night out.
Reply:A note to %26quot;Felicity O%26quot; I know she loves lilies but our daughter got her some lillies so did not want to go cliche and get red roses and her to think I had asked somebody else to get them or taken the easy option so I asked for opinions I think 25 years is Special Report It

Reply:An orchid bouquets is the best.
Reply:Just pick some nice flowers she will love anything from you
Reply:How long have you been married? Diamond rings and holidays in Sorrento, yet you still don%26#039;t know what flowers she prefers?


If you ask me, it%26#039;s going to take more than flowers. Forget the credit card. It sounds like time for a heartfelt hug and a few sweet words whispered in her ear.
Reply:definately the ALLURE bouquet, it%26#039;s lovely. Are u 4 real? You are very thoughtful n romantic. You must love ur wife very much.
Reply:everyone prefers different things. do you know her faves yet? if you dont, go by her fave colour
Reply:Get her some pink roses. They say romance and she would expect the red ones.
Reply:A Triffid!!
Reply:send her all your bank balance!
Reply:Personally, if she is not so good with arrangements, perhaps try a small but lovely potted plant. They last MUCH longer than cut flowers and will be a constant reminder of your thoughtfulness! Just think of it this way - a cut arrangement says %26quot;I love you enough to cut up some blossoms for you%26quot;. A plant that will renew year after year says %26quot;My love for you is eternal and will continue to blossom for you.%26quot; ;) Just a few thoughts from a romantic!! Good luck.





Here are a couple of nice ones in your price range just from the site you listed (WITH shipping):


Orchid - 31.75


Calathea - 28.75


Rosy Apricot mini roses - 25.75
Reply:I%26#039;d personally go for a nice big boquet, so i have to run around the office looking for a vase and show off a little bit!





Roses are SOOOO cliched, go for something exotic like orchids or lillies.
Reply:I agree, go for something a bit dfferent which suits her decor/personality. My ex always got me yellow roses - gorgeous, because they were a bit different and very personal.
Reply:flippin eck all i get is a kick in the knickers. ummmmmmmm thats not exactly true. However i have seen Next flowers and they are lovely. Women who like diamonds
Reply:No roses, they%26#039;re just overpriced and overused. My favorite bouquet is always just brightly colored seasonal flowers. And your budget is about what I spend when I get flowers for my husband.





Otherwise, if you give roses, every single anniversary she%26#039;ll know she%26#039;ll be getting the same old roses again.





I never know what to expect when flowers arrive for me!
Reply:NEVER GET THEM FROM NEXT !!!!!!!! We have literally spent hundreds of pounds with them on flowers, and they%26#039;re lousy - they die too soon and they have a poor vase design and don%26#039;t always hold the flowers well whatsoever.
Reply:I think the ones in the vase are pretty - the £30.00 ones that are the long stemed ones is what I assume you are buying - I think your wife will LOVE them - I would. Have a lovely anniversary xx
Reply:a dozen red roses
Reply:Anyday, i would go for Lilies....they smell ever sooooo gorgeous!
Reply:Boy where are there more men like you? Just getting flowers at work is great. If you can afford them choose Roses. Tell the florist to fill in with Baby%26#039;s Breath in a nice vase.
Reply:Are you a real person? I didnt think that men like you existed. Your wife is a very lucky woman. Lilys are nice but their pollen does stain, roses may be seen as old fashoined by some, but when you think of a flower to show that you love someone, its normally roses that come to mind.
Reply:send her favourite flower or flowers in her favourite colour


Red Roses are traditional for wedding anniversary, one for each year you have been married shows extra thought,





or a single rose, with a helium ballon, to which the dinner invitation is attached is slightly different, then the main arrangement you could have delivered to the house, in a colour scheme to match the living room or bedroom depending on where she usually puts flowers





sounds like she is a lucky girl!
Reply:It doesn%26#039;t matter, if someone sent me a daisy I%26#039;d love it. It%26#039;s the thought that really does count. Lucky lady.
Reply:Seasonal flowers are the cheapest.


Do you not have any idea what flowers your wife likes?


Or maybe she has mentioned flowers that she does not like.


Lilies remind me of funerals.


Any flowers are good. It is the thought that counts after all
Reply:my bf from time to time sends me flowers.. (its been awhile since he has mind you)


and i loved the last time he sent them to me at work.. :) its always nice..





he usually gets me a nice variety of different kinds.. with different colours.. :)





so i%26#039;d get a nice variety.. :) and with a vase.. that way they will keep while she%26#039;s at work more easier.. its not like she has a vase waiting :)
Reply:wow, what a thoughtful guy you are...........
Reply:I think these are nice.

Reply:That sounds nice..The BLISS one looks great...
Reply:I guess most women would prefer red roses-the flower of love. I%26#039;d prefer white/pink carnations, as they last so much longer.
Reply:Would you like a second wife to pamper. Seriously what a nice idea, I am sure she knows you love her whatever you send. Have a nice meal. xx

I need some romantic phrases for my wife for our wedding anniversary?

Our wedding anniversary is coming up in a few weeks. I have always come up with something unique and special to say on the card I send her with flowers.





To give you an example, several months ago it was the anniversay of our first kiss...I know guys normally don%26#039;t remember stuff like that, but I do! Here is what I said on the card, %26quot;Today, it has been fourteen years since our first kiss and the memory of that is still brand new to me%26quot;





I am having a little difficulty in coming up with something for our anniversay, can you guys give me some ideas or suggestions to work with?





I want something very special and powerful to sweep her off her feet...all over again!





Many thanks in advance and of course I will select a best answer!

MY HUSBAND AND I WANT TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR OUR 10TH ANNIVERSARY IN JUNE 2010, AND WE ALSO WANT TO RENEW OUR VOWS. WE LOOKING FOR A PLACE THAT HAS A NICE PLACE TO TAKE PICTURES TOO. I DON%26#039;T WANT THE ROOM TO BE TINY BECAUSE WE WILL ONLY HAVE ABOUT 70 PEOPLE, I WANT A NICE SIZE ROOM WITH A DANCE FLOOR, AND A PLACE TO HAVE A CEREMONY. I DON%26#039;T WANT TO SPEND TO MUCH, BUT I WANT IT TO BE NICE NOT TACKY, OUR BUDGET IS ABOUT $15 GRAND I DON%26#039;T WANT TO GO OVER THAT, THESE ARE THE PLACES I%26#039;M THINKING ABOUT:


202 EAST- MANHATTAN


CAFFE ON THE GREEN - BAYSIDE, QUEENS


THE BROWNSTONE - PATTERSON, NJ


THE RIVIERA - BROOKLYN


VILLA BARONE - BRONX


LEONARDS - GREAT NECK, LI





IF ANYONE KNOWS THE PRICES I WOULD APPRECIATE THE INFO, AND ALSO ADVICE ON PLACES FOR LIMOS, FLOWERS, DJ, PHOTO, VIDEO, ETC. ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE HELPFUL, THANK YOU.

Looking for a place in NY to have my 10th wedding anniversary for about 70 people?
well 202 east is a great place and small i think it would be great for your event. the only thing is that the place is right on lexington so people that would come in car would have to put their car in garages or park the car in meter and that%26#039;s kind of an inconvience. but the place is really nice i went there for my wedding in august but it%26#039;s too small i%26#039;m having about 130 people so they would be tight there.


Caffe on the green is also a beautiful place but for me it was alittle to far for me we live in manhattan.


I don%26#039;t know much about the brownstone as i didn%26#039;t wan to go to jersey for my wedding


The riviera in brooklyn is gorgeous and i don%26#039;t know how much is the price there.


villa barone is an amazing place i went there for a party and the place was beautiful and the food was great. but you need to know that it will be expensive it%26#039;s about $90 to $125 per head.


I don%26#039;t know much about leonards.





Why don%26#039;t you go to dante%26#039;s caterers in queens is in 75th st and 31st ave. the place is really nice and the price is moderate. It%26#039;s about $52 to $56 per person on a saturday night that%26#039;s where we are having our wedding. If you have the wedding on another day besides saturday you could save alot of money. check it out.





There%26#039;s also betty%26#039;s catering in queens, astoria world manor and villa marcellos.

Would a promise ring be nice? I%26#039;m 20 and she is 21 are we a little to old for promise rings? I don%26#039;t believe in prolong engagedments.. but would that be the answer in this case?





Come on people help me out...





Money is no issue! but be realistic

What should i get my girlfriend for our 4 year Anniversary.?
Make her dinner and buy her some type of jewelry that she often wears....
Reply:take her out on a boat, and have a nice dinner on there. Thats my best guess.


You know your girlfriend better than anyone.


I think a promise ring would be cute, to make her know that you have intentions of marrying her.

What should I get my girlfriend for our 1 year anniversary?

We have been going out for almost 1 year now, and for our anniversary, I want to get her something special, but I%26#039;m kinda stuck... I love her very very much and she means the world to me. We%26#039;ve never had a single fight or argument. Our relationship is going great, so I want to get her something that shows how much she means to me or just something that means something to her instead of just like dinner or flowers. Like, I want it be be a more sentimental gift, but not something cheap either. For Christmas, I got her a charm bracelet with about 5 charms on it that represented some good memory we%26#039;ve had together (first kiss, laying under the stars, where we met, etc..). That%26#039;s kinda more of the type of thing I%26#039;d like to get her for this (I guess I probably should have saved that idea for our 1 year instead of Christmas lol), but I%26#039;m stuck. Can anyone help me with some ideas please? Any help is greatly appreciated.





Thanks!

Can a wedding arch be used as a decoration for a 20th anniversary party?

I am having a 20th anniversary party for my parents and besides table centerpieces I wanted other decor such as an arch with tulle and flowers to set behind the small round cake table. Are arches only used for weddings or could it be used at a anniversary party? Thanks!

Can a wedding arch be used as a decoration for a 20th anniversary party?
Yes it could be used at an anniversary party. Maybe they could even renew their vows? That would be special.
Reply:Yes
Reply:most definately!!!
Reply:Most definately you can have whatever you want!! topiary trees, lanterns etc might be nice little touches as well.


good luck!
Reply:Yes, it will be beautiful if you%26#039;re going to put their names in it and their wedding anniversary.
Reply:On the modern anniversary list your 20th anniversary is celebrated with platinum, so you could have an arch of platinum coloured balloons. Any decoration you want at your parent%26#039;s anniversary party is fine.





My aunt and uncle had their 50th wedding anniversary party as a modern wedding reception, complete with top table, tiered cake, seating plans and dancing. It was a great day.

What do you get a widowed parent for their anniversary?

My dad passed away in March, and I know my parents%26#039; wedding anniversary is going to be really tough for my mom. What is something nice I could get her. I don%26#039;t want it to be sappy. Just something nice... Flowers, a book, something random?

What do you get a widowed parent for their anniversary?
I%26#039;m so sorry about your dad. You are very thoughtful to reach out to your mom on what will be a particularly sad day. If you live close enough to her, why don%26#039;t you visit her that day? The two of you could go out for coffee and talk about your dad. Your mom might enjoy sharing some memories of her wedding if it%26#039;s not too painful for her right now. If you live far and can%26#039;t see her that day, be sure to give a call to let her know you are thinking of her. Flowers might cheer her, too. God bless!
Reply:Take her to lunch or a visit to a spa. Or get her nails done. Or a tattoo?

What to give my boyfriend for our one-year anniversary?

I looked at a lot of similar questions and answers for ideas, but I think I need things more specific to my case.


We are both 21 and I want to give him something special for our one-year dating anniversary. I also don%26#039;t want to give him the same types of things I%26#039;ve given him before:


-pictures of us


-a gift card to get a picture of us taken professionally (given last Christmas and he still hasn%26#039;t used it)


-poems I wrote him


-CDs I made for him


-a drawing of us


-a list of reasons that I love him


-that Hallmark valentines cat that talks


-his favorite cheese popcorn


He is romantic, but not much into tradition. He always gets me flowers, chocolates, etc, but says he wouldn%26#039;t like any of those things himself. He says a new airsoft gun or a part for his car, but those just don%26#039;t say %26quot;I love you%26quot; like I want them to!


I also saw an idea to cook dinner for him, which would be great except that we%26#039;re planning on going out to eat that night. We%26#039;re quite serious, planning engagement soon. Ideas?

What to give my boyfriend for our one-year anniversary?
If he gives you flowers and chocolates, he doesn%26#039;t sound to0 original or non-traditional either. Are you sure you%26#039;re not imagining him to be the way you want him to be? If so, you might want to think twice about getting engaged after only a year, or at least consider a long (year plus) engagement. But what do I know; if a girl gave me half the stuff you%26#039;ve given him in the first year, I%26#039;d have been scared off already unless you were really really %26quot;the One.%26quot;





Since he wants an airsoft gun or car parts, he doesn%26#039;t sound too romantic to me. A Guy like that would probably like an Xbox 360 or PS2, but you probably don%26#039;t think they say %26quot;I love you%26quot; though I think he would. Regardless, don%26#039;t get him those unless you want him to ignore you. An anniversary gift should be something you share or related to your relationship.





If you%26#039;re hot and he%26#039;s not uptight, a racy pic of yourself would be good, or better, a negligee for yourself with the promise of attendant benefits for him. Or you could go with man jewelry - engraved watch, engraved bracelet, neck chain with a charm that%26#039;s you%26#039;ve selected to remind him of you but one that doesn%26#039;t make him look feminine.
Reply:thats all nice and dandy, but remeber...hes a guy! guys dnt like flowers and chocolate. we like tickets to games, movies,anything sports(if we like it)...wat u gave him b4 is sweet, but....as a guy....i would b disappointed
Reply:Traditionally a one year anniversary should be something made from paper. So, how about 2 tickets to a concert or sports event that you can both enjoy.

Am I supposed receive a gift from my wife on our 11th anniversary?

Seems like my wife has been less than toughtful on our anniversary, again! Not even a card. Is this normal in a marriage?


Or does she not care? I have never forgotten, she always gets flowers, plus a gift and dinner. After dinner she would show me how thankful she was when we got home. I was feeling good about the evening, but when we got home she fell asleep with the children. I know was tired, but it was our anniversary. No sex, no gift, no card? What is going on?

Am I supposed receive a gift from my wife on our 11th anniversary?
Hey tell her to wake up- its much better to give than to receive, and healthy marriage is a 50/50 deal.


Hope things work out for the both of you.


TALK IT OUT, DON%26#039;T STAY WITH THAT FEELING AND QUESTIONS BOTTLED UP.
Reply:Salt shaker with tiny holes, that%26#039;s gotta work. Good luck
Reply:I give my husband a gift on our anniversary every year. I also give him a gift on birthdays and every special occasion.
Reply:honey i am sorry to say but i would talk to her about it .....i give my husband what ever i can if i don%26#039;t have money then i make dinner and what ever else i can think of .....but in the same i don%26#039;t get thought of that much because my birthday is this month and Christmas and are anniversary so i don%26#039;t get that much but i am thankful i get thought of at all........
Reply:Sounds like she just doesn%26#039;t care about you or the anniversary...





Perhaps she is more bothered about the kids... Time to have a heart to heart and find out what the problem is with the marriage... Or have an affair... :D
Reply:it happems.is just sometimes we got cought in somany thing the we forget what is important.
Reply:because your a male it doesnt mean to say you dont like receiving gifts everyone does male and female.maybe you should sit you wife down and ask her whats going on and why she doesnt bother anymore,it could be shes stressed out and tired with running around after the children as they can be hard work,and as for whats normal in a marriage who knows everyones marriage is different,but ive been with my husband 15 years and i always remember anniversarys my husband would be a bit upset if ididnt, its nice to make the effort it shows the other person that you still love and care for them enough to remember,though at the end of the day the only person who can really give you an answer to your question is you wife,you have to sit down and talk to her and tell her you need some answers and some reassurance that she still loves you (good luck)
Reply:My husband and I acknowledge our anniversary by making our own cards and talking to each other. We can never afford to go out to eat or buy gifts. (Besides he%26#039;s the only one that works so I feel odd buying him a gift with his money).. maybe she was brought up that way. My parents never acknowledge their anniversary and they have been married over 30 yrs. But that%26#039;s just them. Talk to your wife and tell her how it makes you feel. Maybe she%26#039;s just unaware.
Reply:even if she doesnt get you anything get her something so she knows you care.
Reply:a gift? maybe. a card? maybe. sex? hell yes!! She just thinks more of herself than you. maybe there is someone else that%26#039;s keeping her tired
Reply:I would very nicely remind her that you have needs too and she needs to be sensitive to them. I think it is so easy to fall onto the %26quot;lull%26quot; of marriage and sometimes one needs to be reminded that marriage takes WORK! You must work at it! (I am saying that to her, not you.) Good Luck!

My boyfriend did nothing for our 1 year anniversary. Is that ok?

We%26#039;re young and just making ends meet. Long-distance on top of it, so I didn%26#039;t expect anything extravagant. He did send me flowers a few days later for a separate event, but I really feel I would rather have had him acknowledge the anniversary as way of showing how important me and our relationship are to him. Am I just completely over-reacting and expecting too much? We%26#039;ve never said %26quot;I love you%26quot; even though I really think I feel that way. But now I%26#039;m seriously questioning what exactly I mean to him. (I got him tickets to a concert he wants to go to and sent him a card.)

My boyfriend did nothing for our 1 year anniversary. Is that ok?
no, thats terrible! its not OK!

i think i would act the same way


i mean if he acknowledged it..? tht would be totally fine, he wouldnt have to had do ne thing


but if he didnt say a word about it.. i would feel really sad
Reply:What can I say? We are guys. We forgit suff. I wouldnt make a big deal out of this, no worries:D
Reply:Anniversary





Woman: spend hours talking with friends on what to get for present, picking out just right card and primping and getting ready for event. Make scrapbook of first concert ticket stub, blah, blah, blah





Man: I can remember every Major League Batting Title winner since 1962, but when me anniversary?








The true test of a guy%26#039;s love is if he does nice things OFTEN for you--small, inexpensive things mainly. Not to bash on men, whom I happen to adore, but you do have to accept that this may not be your bf%26#039;s strong suit and accept him for who he is and try not to be insecure about it.
Reply:he must have forgot or hes got money issues on his mind tell him what you expect he can%26#039;t read your mind
Reply:aw that%26#039;s terrible.. yea i think he should have got you something or taken you somewhere you don%26#039;t need ANY money to say i care (you can do this in many ways) even a card would have been okay right? But girls can over look things like this i know i do, we expect guys to know what we are thinking and what we want when really they have no idea, don%26#039;t give up on the relationship but defiantly discuss this with him. Good luck!
Reply:if you guys have never acknowledged an anniversary before than i wouldn%26#039;t expect much but if you have before than he is a total jerk for not even saying happy anniversary..i would try to talk to him about it over the phone or maybe after the concert you are going to and see how much you mean to him..i hope that helps and sorry that he didn%26#039;t do anything:[
Reply:ask him if he remembered. my boyfriend and i are in a long distance relationship and we didn%26#039;t do anything big but we each got each other something. and talk to him that always seems to work when i am worried how he feels about me. for my relationship
Reply:Didn%26#039;t even remember it? Wow. No, that%26#039;s not ok.





I don%26#039;t expect gifts - I don%26#039;t need them. But at least an %26quot;I love you%26quot; and some good sex or something, ha ha.
Reply:My boyfriend and I rarely celebrate our anniversary. When we first started dating, I didn%26#039;t think it would even last. Therefore, I didn%26#039;t even mark down the date of our first kiss or our first date.





Therefore, we never celebrate. We are going to be together for 3 years at the end of the summer. This year, I plan on getting him something special. I%26#039;m just going to pick a day and that%26#039;s it. I know it%26#039;s a little late to start. But, I feel 3 years more then half way to 5 years. That%26#039;s got to mean something.





Talk to him. Did you make a big deal of it. B/c we never had a date, I never had a reason to mention our anniversary.
Reply:yes i can understand why you would feel hurt he missed your anniversary together yet you remembered and got him tickets to his concert. even if money is tight for him he could have sent you a card with his own words in it or make you a poem or at least call and talk to you on that day.





Perhaps his man isn%26#039;t into events such as this and takes them as no biggy. and for you they are. lots of married couples get upset when there spouses dont%26#039; remember such events. You may want to let him know how you feel. and see if he will be more thoughtful .. maybe he wont%26#039; and this is his laid back approach .,but either way if your not like that this won%26#039;t sit well for you.





good luck.
Reply:If he can send flowers for the other event, he can remember your 1 year anniversary and at least send a cute card and say %26quot;I Love You%26quot; or something. I would be heartbroken if I was you. It is true, guys tend to suffer from %26quot;clueless man syndrome%26quot; and forget things all the time. However, its your 1 year anniversary! You remembered it, so can he. I would talk to him and let him know you are hurt. If you keep the hurt inside and don%26#039;t talk about it, you will resent him and be hurt even more the next time he forgets something. Nip this in the bud and tell him how you feel. Hopefully, once he sees how much it means to you, he will make a concerted effort to remember these things. If he doesn%26#039;t, maybe he isn%26#039;t the one for you.

Reply:NOTHING says romantic like couples get in free night at the strip club.
Reply:yeah, i think going out to eat and some flowers are appropriate enough for 2 months. I think a gift might be too much at this point.

Reply:Well my guy gave me gold necklace that says I love you..that really meant a lot to me... but if your looking for something easy take her to the beach an hour before sunset its beautiful been with her at that time and get her something simple flowers will do if you don%26#039;t give those to often..
Reply:i think you should take her to a casual restraunt and bring her flowers then you should maybe just take a stroll on the beach(if you have one near by if not a park)
Reply:I suggest some nice diamond studs--every girl needs some and they are sure to blow here away. They don%26#039;t need to be large at all.





I would look at her and see what SHE would like to do. Is she someone who would like a romantic picnic after a horseback ride? How about an expensive dinner?





Look at her and go from there; you know her better than we do!

what can be done is go to a local florist or candy/cookie bouqet and pick out what you like and they will normally handle contacting a florist that they have heard of or used before in the area you are wanting. there will usually be a small fee for them doing it but it is worth your time not to have to locate one on your own.

Reply:One month is always realy special. I remember my bf and I having ours and he got me a HUGE bear that was about 8 feet tall. I asolutely loved it but thats because I have a soft side for stuff animals. Ever since then he just got me stuff I liiked. Like for our 3 month anniversary, he got me a little heart phone charm which i still have on my cell fone. Its doesn%26#039;t matter how much you spend on something, just get something that your gf will ike. Personal, I think the dinner is already a GREAT gift, but thats cause my bf is a horrible cook.

Recreate your first date
Reply:Focus on something she likes to do, such as skating, dancing, concerts, etc. If not that, then put together a CD of her favorite songs and/or her favorite artists. If it is something SHE really enjoys, she will always relate it to your 6-month anniversary %26quot;special%26quot; day.





Good luck, and congrats to both of you!
Reply:How about a his %26amp; hers dayspa/massage? A hot air balloon ride? A tour of local wineries (if you have any in the area) or somewhere that does a degustation menu (always good for the tastebuds!) Something new the two of you can experience together.


By the way...... Happy 6 month anniversary...
Reply:As you begin to think about a gift for your loved one, may I make a suggestion? Think of your loved one -- not what you want to give him or her but what he or she truly wants. This may seem obvious, but all too often people receive gifts they neither need nor desire. And yet as the giver, we often feel tremendous pressure trying to find a good, never mind perfect, gift.





Here are some tips:








Figure out your budget. It%26#039;s never a good idea to give a gift that you can%26#039;t afford; somewhere in the back of your mind, overspending will make you feel bad.








Has your loved one given you any hints or made a blatant request? If so, then honor that request. There is nothing wrong with giving a gift that has been asked for; the surprise is in the receipt, not the idea.








Does your loved one need an item of clothing, a piece of tech equipment, or a tool? You know this information. Just take the time to think about it.








Avoid gag gifts. Holiday season is not the right time for jokes. People have way too much invested in giving and receiving and our expectations and sentiments run high. It%26#039;s much better to offer a gift in sincerity.








Create something memorable. Some people love to receive hand-made gifts, and your loved one may just be that kind of person. Creating something with your own two hands is a gesture filled with love.








Are you in the mood for romance? Sometimes we want to give special, luxurious gifts that go straight to the heart. If you can afford such an indulgence, and you know the kind of jewelry your lover appreciates and feels comfortable wearing, then why not?


Gift giving can be nerve-wracking and stressful. But it also can become a less-than-thoughtful power play. So in the spirit of showing your loved one that you care, give him or her something they truly desire -- a piece of you.
Reply:I think your idea of hair, nails, flower and dinner is perfect!
Reply:Plan a picnic. You do the cooking. Make a delicious lunch and dessert. Two long stemmed glasses and her favorite beverage. Plan the picnic in a park and bring your CD player and play your first song together and ask her to dance. (you could also bring some nail polish along with you and paint her nails and toes....very romantic). Don%26#039;t forget 6 red roses for your six month anniversary.
Reply:Wow six months huh. Well congratulations to ya. I hope you stay happy. You could get a pretty nice bracelet from the Tiffany%26#039;s catalog for less then 200-300 bucks. Girls like the aqua blue box.
Reply:Sing your favorite love song to her. Get her a card and write a couple of paragraphs expressing how you feel. Flowers are always good. Can you cook? Try cooking her a meal, a nice one. She%26#039;ll appreciate the effort, much more than a gift certificate.
Reply:Sounds like you%26#039;ve been through this a few times. Maybe you should think about changing your system and just be a great guy all the time.
Reply:take her out the whole entire day. meaning morning til night. at night rest and enjoy, if you know what i mean ;) lol





just make sure during the day you have lots of fun. go to an amusement park, zoo, malls, places to eat, downtown, fun shops, etc. take breaks and stuff but don%26#039;t go home til night.





have fun! its all creativity and what you feel is best for you two.

Reply:I just do what you think she will love the most. Try to show her the last six months have been awesome and you really respect her as a person. Heres a few ideas of what I would do, buy some flowers and cook her dinner and set up the table with the flowers and play sum nice slow music, or take her to a place she likes to eat out at that works too. Like the other person said a promise ring would be a good idea too if you really want to show her your serious about you and her. Good luck!

How can i get sponsors for my 25th wedding anniversary. I want a lavish wedding/reception and honeymoon?

I want a wedding for about 200 guests, sit down dinner, band, fresh flowers, beautiful gown for a plus size beautiful person, honeymoon that I never got chance to have due the death of my father and a wedding where I can feel and look like a princess for a day. I often see it with the celebrities and I would like to have this one opportunity with all that I have been through. I want to renew my 25th wedding anniversary because my husband has truly been a dream come true. However due to finances, son in college we are not able to have a prince and princess wedding. My husband has conquered lymphona cancer and this would be very special if my 25th anniversary could be spectacular. By the way it will be 25years on June 2nd, 2009 and I am getting started early. Please help me make this dream a reality. ANYONE, PLEASE!

How can i get sponsors for my 25th wedding anniversary. I want a lavish wedding/reception and honeymoon?
First, you can%26#039;t have a wedding because you%26#039;re already married. I%26#039;m sorry that your wedding wasn%26#039;t what you wanted it to be 25 years ago, but you just don%26#039;t get to do it over. One wedding per spouse. If you want to throw a nice 25th anniversary party, that%26#039;s great, but you don%26#039;t get a weddign gown and showers and a wedding party and all the trimmings of a wedding. And, unfortunately, you have to pay for it yourself. I, too, am a cancer survivor, my fiance had Scarlet Fever and lost an eye. We%26#039;re paying for our own wedding because that%26#039;s what grown ups do. There are no freebies in this world.

Get REAL- we have all gone through stuff and we all want free stuff. My husband survived a brain Tumor- do you see us mooching for a wedding or party?





Grow up!
Reply:Hi and congratulations on your 25th!





Sorry to tell you....but DON%26#039;T waste your energy looking for sponsorship for your 25th. A vendor has NOTHING to gain by supplying you everything for free unless perhaps you were a movie star and could spread their name.





Also....why would you want to waste any money you DO have on a lavish re-do after 25 years? I think it would look a little silly for you to have the princess dress, etc.





What my husband and I did for our 25th was to have a small renewal of vows with our children present (5 people total) and then we went out to dinner after. Then my husband and I went on a trip!





I think a %26quot;re-do%26quot; for 200 guests is a little over the top.
Reply:thats alot to ask for. wouldnt you rather the so called %26quot;sponsors%26quot; would be better off spending their money on something important like starving children or something. Besides if you really want this that bad surely you can save you own money over the course of a year and a half and pay for it on your own.
Reply:Most companies will not sponsor an event unless it is for a charitable event or because there is an opportunity to really market their product for future sale. Your event is neither. It is not a charitable event and will not likely generate additional sale for the sponsors.





Also, stop being greedy. My grandmother passed away 5 months before my wedding, September 11 happened 2 months before our event, and we%26#039;ve gone through many difficulties in our marriage. If you can%26#039;t afford your celebration, then deal with it. If you really want a lavish event, learn to save or go get a part-time job to help pay for it. Don%26#039;t ask people for handouts. That%26#039;s just shameless.
Reply:Why don%26#039;t you get an extra job or something and pay for it yourself if this is so important to you? Why would you expect someone else to pay for something you want?
Reply:You can certainly go and try to get vendors to sponsor your wedding, but it is difficult because many vendors don%26#039;t really see much gain from doing sponsorship.





Since you have time, do some research and look around and price things out. You might still be able to do the prince and princess wedding you want if you scale it down a bit and are flexible. Also consider doing a destination-themed wedding--that%26#039;s always fun and special.
Reply:You have to be a celebrity. Really, only Star Jones had sponsors and thats probably about as low on the celebrity totem pole sponsors will go.


Maybe you should just have a family gathering instead.

Should i be mad at him for not getting me an anniversary gift?

its our 1 year anniversary and we%26#039;ve both been counting down the days... i dont want to sound selfish, but he didn%26#039;t get me anything at ALL. not even flowers. i wasnt even expecting much but i was hoping to at least get one flower or something. but he did apologize and genuinely felt bad... so i guess its the thought that counts. im not all that mad.... should i be? i made him a mix cd and bought some cute lingerie for him.. but thats all

Should i be mad at him for not getting me an anniversary gift?
All u need to do is to make him understand the importance of this relation and the sweet memories u had spend with each other and if he understands that then you dont have to be mad i think your job will be done ..........Anger is not the solution for love lol
Reply:My wife and I usually do something together each anniversary. Often, we get each other something small, or some years something for the house together. The gift isn%26#039;t a big deal for us, it%26#039;s the day together that matters. We started keeping a book that we write in each anniversary with things that happened over the last 12 months. I suggest you do that tonight. It%26#039;s fun to look back on over the years.
Reply:well this is a rough situation. Did he have money to get you something special?? Well if not then you should understand that. If so then that is a sign of being CHEAP and you need to know this is what to expect sometimes. Now on my one year annv. about 3 yrs ago my man didn%26#039;t do anything until the weekend. He said that he wanted it to be special and it would have been a rushed event because he got off late and has always leave for work at 5am, not to mention he would have been to tired to enjoy himself. So give it a few days maybe he has something special planed.
Reply:it is perfectly normal for you to show concern and to get mad to show that you care for the relationship. However, you shouldn%26#039;t hold it against him or it will turn into a bad point for your relationship. This is what people tell me.

Balloons or Flowers?

January 8th is our Anniversary and I%26#039;m taking my wife to a little cabin in Nashville, Indiana. I have the option to fill the room with either balloons or flowers as part of the deal. She loves both of them so I am not sure what would be more fun and romantic?

Its coming upto my first anniversary with my girlfriend - gift idea?

Its coming upto my first anniversary with my girlfriend, as a gift I thought of buying an her AA membership. Im thinking of this as she has recently broke down and found it stressful sorting things out on her own, she works in a remote place and drives all over the country to visit friends. Do you think its a good idea ? There will also be flowers of course

take her to the place where you first meet, make her feel special for the day, remind her how much you love her. you could get her the AA cover as a extra bonus but do not make it her main gift.


try a braclet or necklace, or some sexy underwear that way you can enjoy the gift too!
Reply:mmm the idea is thoughtful... credit there.... i am not sure you shoudl give it as an anniversay gift though.... do you want a 2nd anniversary?


maybe give the AA as more of a %26#039;i saw rhis and thought of you%26#039; gift because you care.why not take her out to dinner, maybe a necklace ... gift experience.. ther are loads on the web.. try www.treatme.net





happy anniversary by the way
Reply:that is a very thoughful yet great idea !! i hope you add chocs to the flowers, we do like to be spoilt lol
Reply:It is a good idea but I think it needs to be in combination with something more unique and personalized.





Make her a blog/timeline telling her how much you love her and talk about all the great times you have had in your 1st year. I used http://ourstory.excellentabc.com to make one for my g/f and she loved it. It is free to do and you both can keep it updated as your relationship grows. Don%26#039;t forget to include pictures of you two.

Star Flowers?

My anniversary is coming up and I wanna create the bouquet I had at our wedding. I know it had pink roses and little cream colored star shaped flowers...Does anyone know what those are called? They are expensive and small and delicate.

Star Flowers?
These are called stephanotis. Have your local florist recreate your bouquet for you, or ask them to order these for you. I suggest you have the florist do it though, they have the special stem/water source for the flower so that the flower will last a few days.

What's a suitable present for a one year anniversary?

We%26#039;re 17 years old, and met during summer when everyone was having parties celebrating the summer and end of GCSEs.


In about a month it%26#039;s going to be our year anniversary. But I have no idea what to get him...





My guy mates said flowers will make him feel like a girl (sorry if I%26#039;ve offended anyone, this is what I have been told by peers the same age and personality etc)


Chocolates are the same


A nice watch is waaay to expensive, specially since I%26#039;m skint coz i spent £162 on reading recently.





So what do I do?!





My budget is about £70 I can go a little over, under is also great :o)





thank you everyone for posting ideas!!!

What%26#039;s a suitable present for a one year anniversary?
Maybe actually buying him something is a bit too much, especially if you are short of money.


Why not pay for the two of you to go out somewhere? Also as a one year anniversary (for marriage anyway!!!) is %26quot;paper%26quot; buy something that has a ticket such as a trip to the theatre, theme park, concert etc etc.

My parents r renewing there vows and i need 2 know how 2 set up the theme and what kind of flowers 2 get 4 it?
What are the colors of the bridesmaids dresses? You can pull the main color from them and then add accents.





As for a theme...Why not go with the traditional gold 50th anniversary theme?





For my reception our %26quot;theme%26quot;, if you can call it that, is red and romance. I%26#039;m using candles and lots of rose petals.





I hope this helps!





As for the decorating, try to get a team of people and assign jobs!

Just kidding. I would like to be there to help with the decorations but it just won%26#039;t work out So I will give you this, %26quot; They didn%26#039;t have an expensive wedding but the investment they made in each other over fifty years cannot be bought at any price%26quot;. %26quot;It is a Golden Anniversary of a Golden Marriage.%26quot;. Is there even a chance the j.p. is still around. You will find many volunteers at the senior center. Go there and sit for a cup of coffee and find out who is in the know. Many seniors even grow beautiful flowers that are not available from commercial growers. Don%26#039;t go nuts over this, just have fun with it and your helpers. It will be a Golden day.

Perhaps you could send her out with friends to a day spa while you stayed at home to cook her favorite meal. Put a vase of fresh flowers and candles on the table so it would be more romantic.





Also you could write her a love letter or poem telling her how thankful you are for her, and how much she means to you.





My Uncle had me to make a video of he and my aunt using photo%26#039;s of them starting from their wedding day, including the birth of their children, and the two of them together through the years. I scanned the photo%26#039;s and used Movie Maker to add the pictures, I also used %26quot;their%26quot; song in the video. It was a huge hit with my Aunt, if you cant do that then maybe you could create a scrapbook for her with all the pictures and little captions about her, or your memory from that photo.





Goodluck, I hope your day is a good one :)

LOL...Just a thought!
Reply:I think you should give her something little and personal, along with a regular gift. The regular gift could just be jewelry or flowers or something normal to anniversaries. But the little one should be an insider joke or a little detail that you remember about her. For example, I once had someone give me a Cat in the Hat kiddie pillow, because during one of our first phone conversations, I mentioned that Dr. Seuss was one of my favorite authors, it is he most romantic gift I ever got.
Reply:Hey John, what a sweetie you are for putting your wife on a pedestal. How refreshing! Congratulations ! Now it is time for you to use your imagination. Do you cook? Maybe an evening of romantic ambiance and food tasting from around the world that you have prepared. Dipping bite size food in a fondue is fun as well. Dipping fruit in chocolate is great too, blindfolded and feeding her. After awhile, smearing chocolate on each other, well you get the picture. And %26quot;special toys are always good. Have you keep memento%26#039;s that your wife has given you over the years? Make some sort of scrape book. Or maybe make a video of yourself talking about how you first meet, the most memorable time together, etc. I guess you have to think outside the bun.LOL.





I wish you many, many more wonderful years,

Beach themed wedding reception/anniversary party?

My husband and I eloped last June and were married on Cocoa Beach, FL. Our family was very excited for us but wanted to be able to attend a family gathering. So, for one-year anniversary, my dad is throwing us a party at a local banquet hall. I%26#039;ve sent out the invitations and found a cute centerpiece idea that I%26#039;d like to make:





http://www.crafts-for-all-seasons.com/se...





However, I hadn%26#039;t originally planned on having a beach theme. Our colors will be green and white, and I%26#039;m not sure how to incorporate this in our centerpieces. It seems to me that the obvious color choice for a beach wedding would be blue, but since the invitations have already been sent out (with green ribbon), I don%26#039;t know how I should merge the color with the beach theme.





Also, while the banquet hall has an outdoor bar that we will be using, the room itself isn%26#039;t very %26quot;beachy%26quot; and has silk flowers around the windows. How can I make everything fit together?

Beach themed wedding reception/anniversary party?
I think green is a beachy colour - why change it? Use palms for greenery around the place. It doesn%26#039;t have to be a %26#039;traditional%26#039; beach theme does it?! I think green would work wonderfully.
Reply:That room is pretty blue, so I think the best way to work with what you have to go use blue and white as your two colors, and add green accents here and there. You mentioned green on the invitation ribbons ... add green ribbon to your centerpieces (which are beautiful, by the way - I LOVE beach themes!). Just tie a ribbon around the top or bottom of the vase you%26#039;re using in the same green, and it will fit right in.





For our wedding, our main colors are a jewel-toned navy blue and cream, with accents of chocolate brown. I was dead set on having brown somewhere in the wedding because it%26#039;s one of my favorite colors, and I%26#039;ve found that adding that extra accent color really makes everything tie together nicely, as opposed to two colors, which can almost look TOO planned out.





I would use the centerpiece you just posted and add some votive or tealight candles around it to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. As far as adding other %26quot;beachy%26quot; decor items, is it in your budget to have palm tree replicas brought in? You can rent almost everything these days, including plants and trees. That would be really cute.





Just make sure that your blue and green tones match ... as in either soft or bold, not one or the other. An example would be sage green with sky blue.
Reply:Hi and congratulations on your marriage!





Although I like the centerpieces that you have chosen....they are cute, I think they will be dwarfed on the tables. By the way....the reception site looks beautiful! Very nice.





My suggestion would be to totally forgo the beach theme even though you were married on a beach. Just go with the elegance of the room. There are a number of things you can do......





(1) Get a large glass bowl like this:


http://www.save-on-crafts.com/candlebowl...


Fill it with some green %26quot;vase gems%26quot; like these:


http://www.save-on-crafts.com/glassvaseg...


Fill about 2/3 with water.....and then float some candles in it:


http://www.save-on-crafts.com/floatcan.h...





Place it all on a large 12%26quot; round mirror tile. This looks so nice and elegant.





(2) I love this look:


http://www.save-on-crafts.com/carcylvas1...





Get various sizes of glass pillars. Put it rose petals, flowers, etc. Then float a candle in them. Get ones that are of various heights - maybe 3 to a table. Again, place them on a mirror tile...and add some rose petals around it. Very nice.





(3) I don%26#039;t know if you are going for dark green or lighter, but I just love this centerpiece idea using fresh cut limes. You could always replace the pink flowers in the picture with some white ones if you wanted. Or...add in some pink! So cute for a summer reception.


http://www.favorideas.com/com_images/126...





Have fun and congrats!
Reply:The simple answer to add green would be to put green palm fronds underneath the center pieces. That would bring in your green and you already have your white. I would also sprinkle some of the shells on the fronds out side of the jar to tie them together. Also, if you really feel the need to add in the blue, try blue table clothes overlaying the white table clothes. The blue with the white will remind you of waves in the water. I can%26#039;t tell what color the flowers on the windows are, but you might find a overlay to match. Good luck and hope this helps!

It's our anniversary - am I expecting too much?

3 years today. I wrote my husband a very sweet card last night and put it by his ring and watch so he would get it on his way out to work....tonight we had planned for dinner and shopping for our gifts together. So far I have no card, no flowers sent to me at work, and I don%26#039;t think he has any surprise planned for later....don%26#039;t ask me how I can tell - I just can.





Should I stop expecting too much? I wanted some romance. Our previous anniversary I made all the plans. The first one he was very romantic. What gives???

It%26#039;s our anniversary - am I expecting too much?
With men you have to be VERY SPECIFIC! It took me a while to figure it out but I got it and it has made our relationship better. I would hint around about things all the time but I never got what I was hinting for. So one time we were watching tv and some guy gave his girlfriend flowers for no reason at all! So I told him that I would love it if he would do that for me and asked him if he would. He said yes but it will be a surprise and I would not be expecting it. It happened, he brought me a gorgeous bouquet of roses for no reason whatsoever! So unlike him and so so nice!
Reply:Since you planned it all last time, he may be expecting the same this time... if you want cards and flowers you have to let him know in advance, some people just don%26#039;t naturally think that way.
Reply:If you are expecting something, tell him to get it. Don%26#039;t just leave it to him to read your mind.





I was coming home from a long business trip, and I asked my husband to bring flowers. There%26#039;s no shame in that.





If you want it, then stop holding a grudge and tell him!
Reply:I feel you....my husband lets me do ALL the planning and it really bothers me sometimes. I read your details to the question and immediately pictured my husband doing the exact same thing your husband is doing. Men are not particularly great at planning these romantic get-aways or surprises. They definitely don%26#039;t think like us!





You should NOT stop expecting what you deserve. Talk this over with your husband....tell him what you need emotionally and what you need from him all around. Let him know how it makes you feel....I know I know....then it%26#039;s like you told him to step up and do things for you that he might not have originally done....it%26#039;s a catch 22. We want it and should get it and by telling the man, it%26#039;s like we feel they didn%26#039;t want to do it in the first place and are just doing it because we said to....you following me?





Oh dear.....I can%26#039;t tell you what to do for this situation....but I will tell you that it can easily cause problems....learn how to fix them together so that you both turn out happy in the end. GOOD LUCK!!
Reply:too soon to tell. wait you might be surprised later.
Reply:Let me tell you something its hard to make dude do things.........even if you give them hint after hint!!!haha...sometimes you just have to tell them flat out
Reply:Dinner and shopping for gifts sounds like you have it all planned again. Or he will at least see it this way. My 5th anv. I had dinner with my husband and my father in law (we weren%26#039;t able to drive due to injuries.) That was it. I didn%26#039;t complain I just enjoyed it for what it is. Sometimes you have to take things for what they are.
Reply:Welcome to the honey moon is over honey. And no, you aren%26#039;t expecting too much, something...even an acknowledgement at this point would be nice...but nothing? That%26#039;s just crummy. So wait until bed time, give him his gift and his card and he%26#039;s going to feel like a total butthead. Guaranteed never to forget or put it off again. And here%26#039;s why: Women, never forget anything. You have an entire year to remind him how he forgot the anniversary. Sure you may suffer this year, but the ones after that? Not a chance. He%26#039;s not going to want to end up in the dog house.
Reply:sweets, its number 3! not 30! Guys don%26#039;t get all mushy so if you are happily married, have a nice husband who helps you out or at least does the icky things around the house(killing spiders comes to mind) and makes you happy don%26#039;t get caught up in some %26quot;ideal%26quot; of romance...enjoy what you got and pick out something you like for the gift...
Reply:Well, since you had made all the plans for the first two anniversaries, why do you think he would think that it was his turn? I think you need to be very specific in the future about what your expectations of your anniversary is. You might think that is a turn off, but if nothing at all happens, that is a disappointment, telling him what you want and having him do it is a nice evening.
Reply:Well, if he doesn%26#039;t come through this time, don%26#039;t make nothing of it, just don%26#039;t do anything for the next one.
Reply:You can%26#039;t expect guys to act like women. They are very different. With them you need to say, %26quot;I need you to be romantic every anniversary%26quot;. If you don%26#039;t say it, he%26#039;ll think that it%26#039;s not needed.
Reply:Ask him....he%26#039;s the only one to know why you didn%26#039;t at least get a card.
Reply:Guys are terrible about remembering aniverseries! (I think it%26#039;s genetic; the %26quot;anniversary-forgetting%26quot; gene is on the Y chromasome, right next to the %26quot;won%26#039;t stop and ask directions%26quot; gene).





I hope that he is pretending he has forgetten, and has a big surprise planned for you!
Reply:stop behaving like a child and ASK him.
Reply:My bf needs subtlety like a brick through a window. You%26#039;ve agree to go shopping together for gifts so as far as your hubby is concerned that%26#039;s all you wanted.





I think it%26#039;s a bit late for this year - but just mention that it would be nice to received flowers at work for a special occasion. (if you just say %26quot;flowers at work%26quot; you%26#039;ll end up with them next week).
