Conventional romantic anniversary ideas may seem fun when you are newlyweds, but you can’t keep doing the same things over and over again. It gets tiresome after a while. You wake up one anniversary morning and you can’t imagine doing the same thing you did last year once again. Luckily, you can always give the old romantic ideas a little twist.

A romantic dinner with a difference

Many married couples tend to go to the same favorite restaurants over and over again until they can’t stand them anymore. If you are looking for a unique experience, try a different restaurant. Alternatively, you can take a cooking class or go to a cheese tasting with your spouse.

A Picnic under the stars

Romantic picnics have always been one of the most popular romantic anniversary ideas. However, most people, once again, end up going to the same places over and over again including the local botanic garden, beach or park. If you are tired of this, try picking an unusual spot such as a rooftop garden. Even better, have a nighttime picnic under the stars. Also, consider having a gourmet meal served on formal china on your picnic as opposed to conventional picnic food.

A spa date

Ever thought of spending your anniversary at the spa? It is a romantic way to unwind. You can ask for side-by-side massages, facials, pedicures and manicures. If you don’t have the time or resources for a spa date at the moment, you can turn your home into a romantic spa. Just light some candles, put on some music and bring out the chocolate covered strawberries. Enjoy these as you soak in the bath together and massage each another.

Learn to dance

Taking a dance class is rarely thought of as an ideal way to celebrate an anniversary. However, it is a great way for couples to show affection to one another. In fact, most dance classes for couples are choreographed to be sensual and are good for spicing up intimacy in marriage.

If romantic gestures are starting to feel like old habits, it’s time to renew them by adding a little spice. These romantic anniversary ideas are just suggestions to get your creative juices flowing. You can always add spice to some of your other favorite romantic gestures.
