Are children (young adults now) supposed to go to a parent's wedding anniversary every year?

Question

in America?

What about Europe, Asia and the Middle East, etc.

Answer 1

People usually celebrate with a gift and card.

There isn't really a party unless it is a milestone (25, 30, 50th etc.)

Answer 2

I would think you would go for respect for your parents however I never heard of any one celebrating a wedding anniversary every year...heck, go and eat all the cake and ice cream you can hold, party on!

Answer 3

i don't know of anyone who even has a party every single year for their anniversary. couples in america celebrate their anniversary, but it is between those two people. the only ones that everyone celebrates are the big ones like 25 and 50 years.  

Answer 4

Depends on the event and how you have set it up..alone with the spouse or with family and friends..some years can be alone and other years do a family thing..depends on what you want to do

Answer 5

if there is a party.. in my case my parents prefer to spend theirs alone bow chica wowow

Answer 6

No they are not.   USA

Answer 7

We celebrate by getting a sitter and heading out to dinner. Just the TWO of us.

Now, don't get me wrong, my kids are my world, as is my husband... But, I want to celebrate what was our day. Birthdays, thats the whole family... our wedding anniversary is just for us.

Answer 8

No.

Answer 9

No one I know has a big party every year in the US. I don't know about other countries.

Answer 10

well... i live in America. My parents anniversary is their special time together. They have been together for 35 years and I am 24 now...i have not gone to any of their aniversarys with them...its just not right to do that in my opinion!

Answer 11

In america, i would say no! My parents need to have some alone time for their anniversary, they have the rest of the year to spend with us, and very little precious time to themselves.  

Answer 12

I think it's different for each family.  No one I know here has a party each year for their anniversary though they may decide to go out to eat to celebrate (they ask us to come if they want to include us, if not, they just go by themselves).  My side of the family wants everyone to call and say congrats each year.  I personally don't understand why we have to do this, to me the only person who has to remember is my husband, but they get upset if you don't call (if they don't, someone else will on their behalf).  My husband's side is more laid back, if you remember that's fine, if not it's not that big of a deal. I live in the USA.
