Do you do anything for your parents for their anniversary?

I never do. I just don't see the point. My sister said that my mom got upset with me last year because I didn't send them a card.
I guess I should, because if they hadn't gotten married, I wouldn't be here! I don't know....

I do...usually a gift card to their fave restaurant

Re: Do you do anything for your parents for their anniversary?

When I was younger I did, but in the last 10 years they have told me to and to save my money and not get them anything.

BUT I am planning on sending them to Mexico for their 35th...

Re: Do you do anything for your parents for their anniversary?

I get them a card and a gift every year.
But I know that's not very common!

I also send anniversary cards to people I know though....especially if I was invited to their wedding.

Re: Do you do anything for your parents for their anniversary?

I always did - at least a card.

I think I was random on the gifts - maybe one year yes if I had something good in mind. Maybe no other years.

We get them gifts, but only on the big years (25, 30).

I get them the fruit of the month club from Harry and David. My parents are health conscious so they love it! And it lasts all year long.

Re: Do you do anything for your parents for their anniversary?

Out of my siblings, I'm married the shortest period of time (2 years). So I guess wedding anniversaries never meant much to me until I got married.
I think my parents have sent us a card the past 2 years though. Oops!

Re: Do you do anything for your parents for their anniversary?

We haven't in the past but we are getting better about it now that we are married. We decided that we'll recognize anniversaries with a card and small gift and the big anniversaries will get something a little more special.

Re: Do you do anything for your parents for their anniversary?

Nobody in my family does that, but now that I'm a married chick, I think I'm gonna start sending a card (starting off with baby steps).

Always a card and usually a gift certificate to their favorite restaurant for dinner. We're big on cards in my family. That is an absolute must to me! It's always the thought that counts!

Re: Do you do anything for your parents for their anniversary?

Yes, but it varies each year. But always a card.

Re: Do you do anything for your parents for their anniversary?

I usually at least send them a card, but since my parents have gotten so laxed with everything, I'll either send them an e-card or at least call them. My mom doesn't send me birthday cards anymore and never really acknowledges my anniversary.

Re: Do you do anything for your parents for their anniversary?

My parents got divorced 8 years ago (I was 20 when they divorced), but I never even knew when their anniversary was. They didn't make a big deal out of it.

I get a card for DH's parents for their anniversary but I don't want to start with gifts. Too many gift occasions. I don't expect gifts from anyone for our anniversary, though our parents and grandparents were generous.

Always a card and gift/dinner.
