Ruby Wedding Anniversary Ideas
The
ruby anniversary denotes 40 years of marriage.
The
ruby is a symbol of passion and fire, the excitement of
spending so much time with the one you love.
It’s
a real achievement to make it that long and have a
wonderful marriage that is still full of spice and lots
of love.
Ruby
red is a great color and can be a theme that ties things
together, plus it works for both men and women. Red is
the universal color of love and romance, think Valentine’s Day but it
works for your anniversary no matter when it is in the
year.
Celebrating your Fortieth Anniversary with a Party
A
fortieth wedding anniversary should be celebrated with
lots of red décor and sweet treats to warm the tummy and
heart at the same time.
It
is a celebration of great times and one you will most
likely want to share with those you love.
You
may be saving the big party with everyone you know for
your fiftieth anniversary so your fortieth can be more
laid back.
Just the Two of Us
Here
are some great ideas for ways to celebrate this very
special day together.
Relive
the proposal night
Remember
the night you proposed or the night you were proposed to?
Relive that night. Go back to the same place and do
everything like you did the first time. Don’t remember
all the details? Make them up as you go and try to piece
things together.
You’ll
get a good laugh out of it and the memories will come
flooding back about how you felt in that moment, what
happened afterward and so on. The night will make you
feel like young kids again.
Have
a family dinner
Invite
the family over, your kids, grandkids and parents and
have a nice family dinner together. It should feel like
old times with everyone gathered around the table talking
about their days and weeks.
Then
you can turn it into a game night and play with the
grandkids or teach them some old card games and such. Or
sit back and watch a movie as a family and pop some good
old popcorn to munch on as you laugh or cry.
Relight
the fire and share some romance
Even
after forty years together you can ignite the passion and
have a romantic evening together.
Make
a bubble bath with wine and rose petals after a nice
dinner by candlelight and dim lighting.
Even
finish up the night with some loving romance such as an
erotic massage and bedtime together in sexy lingerie or
nothing at all.
Go
back through your special memories
together
Have
lots of home videos and photos? Sit back and look at all
your photo albums together. You can take a stroll down
memory lane and remember things together. One of you may
not recall something and the other will fill in the
blanks.
Or
watch your home videos and see your wedding day from an
outsider’s perspective or relive the days your kids
walked for the first time and hit a home run in little
league.
You
can laugh and cry as you look back and think about all
the great times still ahead of you.
