It's my Mum's wedding anniversary in February, but my Dad died last year, this is the first time she will have to experience it alone, I don't know what to do for her, should I get a card? Should I do something special for her? Not sure how to go about this. Help me out!

We had to face the same problem as you when our dad died. How we handled it was to take her out during the day to the cinema or for lunch and DO talk about your dad and how it would have been their anniversary. This will help. A lot of people try to avoid the subject for fear of causing upset.
Perhaps she could come back to yours then for dinner.
Hope that helps.

Of course this is a sad time for your Mum, it may be an anniversary but it means nothing now your Dad's gone. If I were you I'd take her to London to see a show and then stop over in a hotel. You can drink a toast to your Dad over dinner and remember the good times but don't forget tears will be part of that as well. Tell her it will be a celebration of your Dad's life and the time you all spent together.

My hubby had the same question after his mom passed on. We sent an anniversary card and also bought a park bench, which we had engraved, and started a rose garden dedicated to her in their yard. My Father in law was so touched that we remembered.

why do you not have a family get together,that way it shows you havent forgotten and she will be a little less sad..since my mum died all the family go out for a meal on her birthday and raise a glass to her, this keeps her memory alive , especially for the younger kids in the family and we always have a good laugh..its the best way to remember her.

I would buy her or make a card and a bunch of flowers and then maybe take her out for lunch or tea on the day, or make her a nice meal at home She will be feeling sad and this may cheer her up.

still get her a card and some flowers, but ask her if there is anything that she wants to do on the day!
