1. Enjoy a Weekend Away

The 10-year mark is the perfect opportunity to plan a weekend getaway with your beloved. Book a room in a quaint town nearby and indulge in some much-deserved relaxation. Make time to read, explore the main street, relax on the beach, visit the local landmarks, and celebrate your love.

2. Recreate Your First Date

There’s no better moment than a milestone anniversary date to recreate your first date together. Visit the same spot if you can, recreate your outfits, tell each other the same lines, and smile and laugh about how the years have passed.

Get everyone excited to attend with one of our vow renewal invitations, like the beautiful design above.

4. Enjoy a Romantic Dinner

If you’re looking for a date idea that you don’t need a big budget for, a romantic dinner is a winning one. This 10-year anniversary idea can take place at a fancy restaurant, your favorite hotspot, or at home — whichever you and your beloved prefer.

5. Visit a Brand-New City Together

Celebrate your 10th anniversary by checking off another city from your travel bucket list. Splurge on an exciting trip to someplace you’ve been longing to visit, whether a few hours away or on the other side of the world. One thing’s for sure: This will be an anniversary neither one of you will forget. 

6. Go to a Concert or Show

Elevate your next date night in honor of 10 years together by seeing your favorite band in concert, going to a festival, or attending a live show. This is a great way to not only celebrate your love for each other but take in the music and entertainment you both enjoy, too.

7. Make a Scrapbook

Grab your box of photos or print some out, and get ready to make your own DIY scrapbook or memory book. Alongside the photos, attach some mementos, write notes and memories, and decorate with stickers. This is one of the most meaningful 10-year anniversary ideas — and something you’ll both appreciate even more on your 20th anniversary!

8. Book a Photoshoot

For a significant milestone like this, we love the idea of staging a photoshoot to capture some precious memories. Book a talented photographer to snap some shots of the two of you together at your favorite place, and then dress up in your finest or keep things cute and casual.

9. Enjoy a Cozy Night In

Celebrating your 10th year together doesn’t have to mean going out. If you’re a couple of homebodies, we love the cozy ambiance of staying in and having a movie night or game night in your living room. Order takeout, enjoy a glass of champagne, and just relax in each other’s company.

However you choose to celebrate, we have the perfect gift to match your personality and style. Explore these 10th wedding anniversary gift ideas to commemorate this very special occasion.

1. Diamond Jewelry

As the modern gift alternative to the traditional 10-year anniversary theme of tin, this 10-year wedding anniversary gift is always popular. Diamonds are known for being high quality and durable, making this gift reminiscent of your many years of marriage. Diamond earrings with a gemstone inset, a diamond bracelet, or a watch with a diamond inset face are all great choices.

2. Photo Album

Give a 10-year anniversary gift that the two of you can enjoy as a keepsake forever. A photo album filled with snaps from your love story is a unique gift that nobody else can make, which makes it extra special.

3. Travel Map

If the two of you love to travel, give your partner a personalized gift in the form of a travel map. Look for one where you can scratch off or add a pin or photo to the places you’ve visited, and use it to remind you to always keep exploring the world.

4. Bouquet of Flowers

Surprise your beloved with a romantic gift — a bouquet of flowers. Make the moment feel even more lovely by choosing the same flowers that were part of your wedding, as a reminder of that special day all those years ago.

5. Bottle of Champagne

Toasting your life together is one of the most traditional 10-year anniversary ideas, so how about splurging on an incredible bottle of champagne? Celebrate your marriage with a glass of the finest champagne — or buy a bottle of the same drink you shared on your wedding day.

6. Wine Glasses

Many of us don’t think about upgrading our glassware, but this could be the ideal excuse to invest in some new wine or champagne glasses. This is a great gift if you love to relax with a glass of wine as you watch TV, read, or enjoy the sunset.

7. Personalized Storage Tin

In honor of the traditional 10-year anniversary gift of tin, a great gift idea is a personalized storage tin. It’s a fun take on the traditional tin anniversary, and you can find a tin of any size for any use — whether you want to use it to store jewelry, gadgets, craft supplies, or tools.

8. Home Portrait

Celebrate a decade of love together by commissioning a portrait of your home. This is a sweet way to create a keepsake gift, and this 10-year anniversary idea also doubles as decor for your walls. It’s the perfect gift if you don’t have one already — and if you do, how about a portrait of your dog, garden, or car instead?

9. Personalized Wall Art

If a home portrait isn’t your sweetheart’s thing, maybe personalized wall art is? Commission a poster that includes your wedding date along with key dates or memories from your love story, with a design featuring wedding rings, flowers, or other elements that match your personality as a couple.

10. Gift Card

Design: Signature Greenvelope

Matching card: Octopi My Heart Card
