5. Take Blessings From Your Elders

In India, the elders of the family are considered as gods. People consider their elders as gods and offer respect to them. No functions or ceremonies can be complete without the presence and blessings of the elders.

Even marriage is said to be completed only after taking the blessings from all the elders present at the marriage ceremony. So you should also start your wedding day by following the ritual i.e; start your day by taking the blessings and wishes from your elders.

There is no better way than this to start your very special day. Blessings and wishes from elders are very important for every couple.

6. Plan A Dinner With Your Family

As there is a saying that family is not something actually family is everything.  Family is strong support for every person. No one can harm a person who is always protected by his family. When there is no one in need then there is a family who always supports each other.

And in this busy and hectic life of ours, we all have forgotten to give some time to our family, spending some time with our family. So make your wedding day an opportunity and celebrate your wedding anniversary with your family. Cook your dinner at home or order from outside.

Set a dinner table for your family and spend some quality time with them. And certainly, there is no better idea than spending time with your family on your wedding day.

7. Take a Look On Your Wedding Album And Watch Your Wedding Video

Remember each moment and why you’re so grateful to be with the other person. On the same note, watch your wedding video as well! Certainly, you haven’t seen it for a while. Take this as an opportunity and revisit your D-Day.

It would be a lovely and memorable evening spent with your partner. 

8. Give Homemade Gifts To Each Other

Nothing is better than a homemade gift. Gift your partner gifts made from your own hands and make them feel special on your special day. You can gift handmade cards made from your own hand to your partner.

Inside it you can also write some lovey-dovey messages for your partner. Through cards you can also express how grateful you are to have them in your life. This will definitely make your partner emotional and special.
