For most people, the so-called silver anniversary comes once in a lifetime. Why not celebrate it with a once-in-a-lifetime vacation? When choosing your destination, think of places with a special meaning for you and your partner: bucket-list trips you’ve always dreamed of taking as a couple, settings from early chapters in your love story, etc. Moreover, don’t be afraid to try something new. In short, if you go skiing in Stowe every year, consider getting outside your comfort zone on the black sand beaches of Hawaii.
Furthermore, bigger isn’t always better for wedding anniversary vacations. In fact, small towns and intimate resort accommodations can make for a more romantic trip. And don’t shy away from adventure. You’ll have a more memorable trip, and scientific studies have shown that adventure experiences can strengthen bonds between couples.
With these tips, join us to reveal the top five 25th-wedding anniversary travel ideas.
