Parent anniversaries-do you acknowledge them?
Or is it a day for your parents and you have nothing to do with it?

Re: Parent anniversaries-do you acknowledge them?
When my parents were together, yes. I would send a card and usually a giftcard to the movies or a restaurant...something like that.

nope... not at all. Never have. Its their day. No one sends us anything either. I think it would be weird to get a card from someone OTHER than my hubby on our anniversary

Re: Parent anniversaries-do you acknowledge them?
Yes, I always send a card to my parents. Our anniversaries are close together, mine is 12/11 and theirs is 12/22, so it would be weird to not acknowledge it when they always send us a card and they are only a few days apart.

Re: Parent anniversaries-do you acknowledge them?
Not really. We wish them happy anniversary and when my brother and sister were younger, I'd get them out of their hair so they could enjoy their day, but that's it. Maybe for a big anniversary- their 30th is coming up!

Re: Parent anniversaries-do you acknowledge them?
I usually call, but that's it. I think I sent flowers for their 35th. (I think b/c I had just gotten married--I didn't do anything for their 30th or 40th.)
My MIL I think would like it if we acknowledged hers, but my DH thinks that's weird. He even thinks it is weird when people send us anniversary cards, b/c you know, we're married to each other, not them.

I send my parents a card. They have been married over 45 years and these days I think that is quite an accomplishment and deserves to be celebrated.

Re: Parent anniversaries-do you acknowledge them?
Sometimes we'll send a card, but we always call to acknowledge it.
They usually send us a card and call us on our anniversary.

Re: Parent anniversaries-do you acknowledge them?
I do believe we "should" but we never do. I am lucky I can remember and acknowledge my own anniversary! I think they (mine as well as ILs) get annoyed we don't but I seriously just cannot put it in my head as a date to remember.

I usually call to wish them a happy anniversary. If it is a "big" anniversary my sister and I usually do something more- This year is their 40th!

Re: Parent anniversaries-do you acknowledge them?
As a family we all get together and go out for dinner to celebrate their anniversary. My brothers and I treat our parents to dinner. We split everything 3 ways but we kick in a little more for our kids. We also give them happy anniversary cards. My parents and my inlaws take us out to celebrate our anniversary and they give us anniversary presents. I thought every family celebrated anniversaries. It is really nice to get together with everyone.

Re: Parent anniversaries-do you acknowledge them?
We send cards and usually a group gift from all siblings.
But, they go out and do their own celebration-- like go to dinner or something. We don't go with them.

We always call and give a card. If I remember in time I'll send flowers from my sister and myself. They celebrate with themselves. They do the same for us.

Re: Parent anniversaries-do you acknowledge them?
I have to or my mother will give me a guilt trip.  I personally feel like it's their anniversary, not mine. But anytime I forget theirs I get a huge attitude.

Something similar to this. We go out together but my parents are pricey when it comes to restaurants sometimes they pay. Lol. They're happy we're all together. We give gifts. Similar for my IL's too or we get together at someone's home. My parents do their own thing as well or with friends to celebrate.
