10 pts for the best answer, I am broke on my first wedding anniversary?

Question

I want to do something but I am completely broke, still I want to show my appreciation and devotion to him. I think it would be lousy to use his own money because it would be like he's buying himself a present ( I can't believe some wives do that). I need really good ideas about what to do for him on our special day. (NO BLOW JOBS)

Answer 1

Paper is the symbol for the first anniversary. Why don't you scrape book a 8 x 5 ( I  believe that is the size) a piece of scrapbook paper with pics of your wedding or of your first year together and frame it. You can use an old frame and paint it if you have to. Or, you can hot glue sea shells or buttons on the frame to embellish it. Scrape booking embellishments aren't that much money if you are only buying a couple of things. They sell really nice scrape booking stuff at Jo Ann fabric, Hobby Lobby and some dollar stores. Good luck. And, I think this is a good gift as it will last a life time.  

Answer 2

On my first anniversary we were so broke we went down to the Carls' Jr and got one meal split the hamburger in half, shared the fries and the drink.

You don't have to do or give anything on your first anniversary.  You are trying to build a household together that takes money.  That is why the first anniversary symbol is paper.. get him a card and a hug that is enough when your busy.

Answer 3

well you already not committing to the last suggestion in your posting is a bad sign. how about a coupon book of things you will do for him: massages, his part of the housework, get out of jail free card (not cheating or lying applicable), stuff like that. then make him a wonderful dinner and write him a long letter.

Answer 4

You guys are married.  You mean you have his and her money? That doesn't sound right.  Anyway....being s**y or romantic doesn't cost much. Opening the door with whipped cream on, making a candlelight dinner at home, having a picnic, swimming naked at night.... but honey, you guys are both contributing to this marriage; mentally, emotionally and yes, financially....

Answer 5

Hi Diahann.  For my fist wedding anniversary I made my husband a card on the computer and found some nice love poems on the net to list inside the card.  I made a nice dinner at home and then we watched our wedding video curled up on the lounge together. Hope you have a lovely anniversary and many many more.  Take care.

Answer 6

No money , no bj , ......picnic in the park??

Answer 7

Do things he likes that don't require much money. Cook his favorite food, buy his favorite alcohol, dress up nicely, put make up on and waite him in bed.  

Answer 8

Have you ever thought of a nice poem for him along with a collection of songs about him?

Fix his favorite dinner or dessert. Nothing fancy. Maybe a good beef stew or a pasta dinner.

Just to tell him you love him.

Answer 9

From a guys perspective... if s*x weren't on the list, I wouldn't care what you did... you could buy me a country... and every hot car on the planet... and it wouldn't matter.

The ONLY thing you could give me that no one else can is s*x... unless of course I got sick of you lack of sexuality and found a wild vixen on the side...

If your man does not have a pair of balls and is totally whipped... then do the coupon book... maybe you could throw in a pedicure for him and watch a sappy movie together... because it sounds like you are treating him as if he is a girlfriend of yours rather than a mate.

BTW... a lousy BJ would not even come close to being enough... if that was the best you could bring to s*x... I would pass.

Answer 10

I took my wife to the park. Big blanket and a bottle of wine with some different fruit. Played a tape of our songs from when we were dating and layed back and watched the stars. I think i will do the same thing next year. Good luck

Answer 11

We were broke too on our first anniversary. I just made him a special supper, and that was it. He brought me two kittens!

Answer 12

Just be there for him and love him. You don't have to have money to show your love to another person. People get too caught up in these kind of things and it really doesn't matter. Just be together and love each other.

Answer 13

I would make him his favorite dinner & dessert.

Then write him a nice letter, and give it to him at dinner.

I'd get a movie something you 2 both like then watch it with him.

Then maybe take a nice shower together or give him a back massage.

Answer 14

I'll tell you what I did on my first anniv.....(we did not have a lot of money back then either)....

I cooked him his favorite dinner, bought a decent bottle of wine, borrowed candles from a friend, and took the top layer of our wedding cake that I had frozen form our wedding day(it lasts of you wrap it in saran and then in foil). Put a slice on a plate with some strawberries.

We took out the wedding albumn after dinner and looked thru it.

It was't fancy but it was very meaningful(to us).

Good luck.....and Happy Anniversary & many more.

Answer 15

Make a day of it, start with a light breakfast. Then head to the beach/park and have a nice intimate picnic, and drink a little wine. Come home give him a nice body rub with candle light, cook his favorite dinner meal, then proceed to make passionate love to each other for the rest of the night.
