    so some people might think this is silly but i was just wondering what everyone else thougt about this:

    our 6 month is coming up in a week or so. My husband says there is no such thing as a 6 month anniversary. What do you ladies think about wedding anniversaries? Do they not start until year 1? or should you celebrate 6 months? If you will/did, what will/did you do?

     

    Thanks! :)

    Personally -I might make a mental note of it, or say let's go out to dinner - but I wouldn't make a production of it and certainly wouldn't expect a gift or anything.

    If your DH says "no such thing" then I wouldn't put too much weight on it, doesn't sound like he's planning to.

    We kinda celebrated our 1 month anniversary.  We just had a date night, no gifts.

    Date night or whatever, and you can certainly acknowledge "hey we've been married six months, how cool" but not gifts, fancy dinner, the whole anniversary thing.

    I mean, technically he's right. Anniversary = annual = years. :) But my FI and I like to acknowledge "oh hey it's the 15th." And don't call it an anniversary, since, ya know, it's not. :)

    We don't do monthaversaries but we  definitely did a big huge shabang for our 6 month! We went to Europe and conceived our baby.  I highly doubt we will continue to do that every 6monthaversary, but it was a great way to celebrate for our first. :) Any excuse to indulge. But then, this is coming from a girl who likes to have a Birthday Month of celebrating.

    I'm bad with dates, so I didn't even know when our 6 months came up. I think my husband said something about it, but it was just kind of "this is exciting that we've been married for 6 months" and that's it.

    lol We did.... but we have a bit of a different situation in that we were legally married 6 months before our family/religious wedding, so technically we celebrated our legal wedding date with an official wedding!  :P  Since our wedding dates are 6 months apart, we'll probably do a little something-something each year on each date since both dates are special for their own reasons!

    Had we remembered, we probably would have had a small celebration- a nicer dinner and opened a bottle of wine or something.  But we both forgot, we did however get on the subject by the end of the weekend.

    @bestbuddies:  Yah for birthmonth!  Oh and you pretty much have to be an initiator, planner to get the 6monthaversary going. Sometimes guys stress out about a 'pressure day', but they usually like to celebrate if they are not in charge of making it happen.

    We don't do anything for our 'half-anniversary' because there is too much going on in December anyway!

    We didn't do anything - in fact I just had to count on my fingers to see if we've been married 6 months yet! HA...silly goose...

    I definitely think a nice meal or a little date could be nice but I wouldn't do any more than that (clearly!  hope I remember our actual anniversary!)  Laughing

    We might do something small. We'll be so excited about being married that six months will be a little special. :)

    I'm a dork in that I remember on the 17th of every month that it's our month-versary!  After 2 years, though - I'm going to quit counting.  It's easy now that we're only at 13 months.

    We did celebrate our 6 month anniversary.  He planned a couples massage and a nice dinner out - he did such a great job and we had a fantastic day.  We won't keep doing that, of course, but it was nice and I think you need to be proud that you happily made it to 6 months...not everyone can say that.

    I love the idea of monthly-versaries, at least for the first year.  But, our six month anniversary will be on Christmas...so I can pretty much guarantee we won't be having a date night then.  This makes me sad.

    We'll say "Yay!" to each other, but no real celebrating. Our 6 month anniversary is the day after Christmas, so no other gifts, which is A-OK. We'll also be at my parents house, with 320483294 other people. Haha.

    We did a big celebration for our 6-month dating anniversary, but that was pretty much only exciting because we hadn't had a real anniversary yet. Now that we'll have been together for 4.5 years, I don't know that we'll feel the need to celebrate a six-month marriage anniversary. Now that I'm thinking about it, I imagine we'll just combine that into our usual Valentine's weekend festivities, since our six-month wedding anniversary will be January 24th.

    @bestbuddies: & @808bride: I'm a Birthday Month celebrator, too!  Yay! 

    While Hubs & I probably would indulge in a semi-anniversary, it's kinda tough since it's December 25th.  We'll be busy celebrating Christmas.  I think I'll try to find a quiet moment & rejoice in these mini-milestones every year, but that'll probably be it.  I'm a little jealous of you ladies who have the option...I figure any excuse to celebrate the love between two people is worth doing.

    On the flipside, Hubs and I were together (unmarried) for 12 years and NEVER celebrated a dating anniversary.  We're both looking forward to our first anniversary in June...and it'll be Hubs first Father's day, too! Damn, I'll never be able to top that first anniversary gift...what do you give a guy after you've given him is firstborn? ;)

    i don't think we did anything the day we were married for six months of marriage anniversy, we're waiting for the year.  i think it's a little silly, though.

    I'm pretty sure we mentioned it to each other that day (you know, something like "Happy six month anniversary!"), but we did that pretty much every month for the first year. We didn't really do anything special for it, though.
