We will be at a lake. We are not able to leave there. We will have lots of friends and family there. There are soooo many activities in that ONE week that we are responsible for; like our daughters grade 12 Grad, July 1st Activities & Fireworks (which includes Fish Durby, games, face painting, etc), 2 different 50th Wedding Anniversarys for guests of ours, and my Sister's Wedding (at the lake also). We will be exhausted and am scared we won't have enough time and energy to celebrate our special day. Any suggestions of what I could do ahead of that time to make our day/evening/night special that we will remember outside of all of those activities? We can't leave because we are the owners of this resort. My idea is to just put up a banner, "Welcome to share our 25th Wedding Anniversary" outfront of the store and serve cake and coffee. Please be creative, put yourself in our shoes. Try and come up with fun and romantic ideas that would work at a fishing lake setting.

You will definately need time to yourselves. But let me ask you this, with all else that is going on for everyone else, why not skip a huge thing for you? Since there is another wedding celebrate that way. Use your experience to help them plan the perfect wedding...(It almost sounds like you just want a bit of the attention, and I personally would prefer to take some time and be alone with no "big to-do" about me and my husband. Not that wanting some acknowledgement is a bad thing because you certainly deserve it, but there are enough other things going on why worry about it? I'm not saying to skip a celebration, but maybe keep it low key?) Maybe go out to dinner with the 50-ers and celebrate that way? What about an Anniversary Party for all the people celebrating and just get it out of the way that way.
What ever you end up doing, make sure to make time for yourselves to share and enjoy each other! Congrats on a busy summer!

The less the better. I'd go out in a boat and leave everyone behind. It is your anniversary. It is a repeat honeymoon. You would have to make the banner, make the refreshments, and where is the romance in all of that? If you want to have some energy use it on yourselves for a change. If the lake makes you too available to demands and you want to make a banner, say "Happy Anniversary to us, do not disturb" order in a nice dinner and lock your door.

If there's a boat ya'll could go out onto the lake during the late evening and look at the stars in the middle of the lake. It's amazingly peaceful and will separate yall from your guests and the hubub for awhile to jsut reflect on your life together. Or you could watch the sunset and steal away some time for yourselves.
One thing my mother did for my parents 20th anniversary was create a really lovely photo album of their life together, documenting all 20 years and shared it with all of her kids. It brought up a lot of beautiful memories for everyone. Maybe you could make that ahead of time?
Good luck!

Hopefully you wont be too busy working to enjoy the fireworks. I would pack a picnic maybe with what you both ate on your first date or other memorable occassion. Maybe get her a ring that has both of your names and birthstones and the date of your wedding and give it to her while you are watching the fireworks. Try it like a proposal down on one knee and everything say " Sue you are the woman I married and chose to spend my life with 25 years ago(ad lib here). You have made me a very happy man. I love you and want to know if you'll spend the next 25 years with me making me just as happy?"
CONGRATULATIONS!

Put up your bannef and serve coffee and cake.
Also, decorate one of those trellis's with tulle and silk flowers and arrange a few minutes of your time out of the day or evening to renew your vows.
Also, for your guests, ask them to write down a good piece of advice for keeping a marriage from going stale and give out a price to the one you pick as the best entry.
Don't forget to start a scrapbook for your memories of the summer and this event most of all. leave appropriate scrapbooking sheets out for people to sign so you can work on the book later. Take lots of photos.

I eloped and that i'm throwing my vow renewal on my 5th year of marriage. I wasn't going to have bridesmaids or groomsmen yet my husband needed his fellow infantrymen to stand via his part. After plenty assessment of the negativity and technical components of a marriage I became uncertain of each and every thing. on the tip of the day, do what makes you chuffed. i'm addressing my invitations as a vow renewal yet i'm celebrating it like a marriage. you basically stay as quickly as, do no longer enable others dictate a thank you to stay your existence. seem on the existence of a celebrity, somebody will constantly have an opinion, extremely people who play via the policies who're disillusioned that the single's who are not getting to nonetheless be chuffed. My cousin is getting married the "surprising way" yet she is barely following etiquette whilst it is handy to her. I actual have yet to bypass to a marriage that observed each and every of the policies. people make policies and wreck them. it is not with regards to the policies, it rather is with regards to the 2nd. gay marriage became unlawful for some years and particular nonetheless is in many states. it rather is against classic policies surprising? nicely now that rule became broken. Marriage is no longer between a guy and a girl. i'm particular a number of those "appropriate etiquette" respondents right here disobey many different policies in existence. persons are extra mean whilst nameless. My suggestion to you, keep on with you heart and don't ask questions. you will constantly get 2 comments. stable success!
