We will be celebrating our 10th anniversary in April.....I need some ideas as to make it really special....!!?

Since it's in April, and spring time is the best time to fall in love all over again...I recommend you go somewhere that brings back some memory of when you were dating or first got married. Maybe its a restaurant you both have fond memories of, or the place where you got down and asked her to marry you, or go back to where you went for your honeymoon and recreate that special night. If you don't wish to recreate an old vacation or date then maybe you should try something you haven't done before...

Plan a romantic weekend at a vineyard, or like people said go on a romantic hot air balloon ride, maybe even trying something a bit more risky and go sky diving! It truly, depends on your personalities as a couple on what you want to do. If you have saved up a lot maybe you should go to Paris, the city of love! If you don't wanna go that far go to Las Vegas, and stay in the Paris Hotel or the Venetian Hotel...book the honeymoon suite...and take a ride in the gondolas while sipping some wine and congratulating each other on such a great accomplishment. If not that, then maybe you should go to Hawaii, or the Bahamas....pick a place that is known for its romantic atmosphere and make it a memorable time. Maybe take a cruise!

Another thing you can do is take her to a Bed and Breakfast or a Mystery Weekend place ...The Bed 'n' Breakfast is romantic...but the Mystery Weekend Place is adventuresome....so you can try that.

As, for presents if your wife doesn't like diamonds, then I recommend you get her a spa certificate...something where she can really get pampered and feel like a queen. (Although this would be a great thing to do as a couple too.) Another thing you can do is give her other types of jewelry that she can wear on a regular basis, like a watch (but make sure its pretty...), necklace, rings and etc. If you do not want to give her jewelry then I think you may want to give her something more practical...something she says she needs or wants... like a nice blender or something...

Another thing you can do is get a picture of you two, from a special day like your wedding or when you first started dating and put it in a really nice frame and get it engraved." To my lovely wife, Thank you for 10 years of love, trust, support, understand compassion and friendship.I Love You So Much!" or something more sincere since only you know about your marriage. Another thing you can do, is get a this picture frame the pops out in all different directions and you can put up to 10 -16 pictures in it...and maybe you can take that frame and put in all the pictures of important things that have happened over the course of 10 years in it. And in the center you can put a picture of you two that is the most recent and very nice...and you can say something like "The 10 best years of my life with you, have been captured in this frame, and I can't wait to make more memories with you!"

Congratulations!!well why don't you organize a very romantic dinner with candles and flowers since she doesn't like diamonds why not book a weekend in the country side and enjoy a lazy romantic escape or why don't you give her a nice present (it all depends on your budget) like a nice watch cause the 10th anniversary is really important or a piece of jewelery.am sure you know what she likes so use your imagination and pamper her on this special occasion.

So you're being selfish for asking MIL to babysit one child, and they are not being selfish for asking her to babysit TWO children? What's that all about? I've known countless couples who have regularly asked their in laws to babysit. Its commonplace; at least where I live. I see a couple of possibilities. First, is it possible that your daughter is in some way not as well behaved around other people as she could be? I'm only asking because you said your MIL finds it hard to add her to the mix when she is already babysitting the boys. If there is some behavior issue, you should correct it now; as the difficulty level will increase as she gets older. Another possibility...since your daughter is the only granddaughter, perhaps your MIL is partial in some way to her, and your BIL sees this and resents it. Or even if this is not actually the case, maybe BIL or his fiancee developed a perception along these lines. Either way, BIL and his fiancee sound immature to me. For now, why not see if there are any daycare facilities in your area that offer 24 hour service? If so, visit them and check them out. If you find one you like, ask if you could occasionally use their services for babysitting. Then you and your husband could go out by yourselves once in a while! And you wouldn't have to take her to the office. But don't cancel your anniversary plans. You deserve to celebrate. See if anybody in your family could babysit. Or change the reservation date to one where your MIL could.

How about you go on a mini vacation...take her in a romantic hot air balloon ride...they set everything up for you and it's only like 200 bucks...but its amazing and well worth it! She will be amazed for sure and its really romantic to watch the sunset over the ocean.

Another thing you can do is take her to a spa...and get like a couple's massage or take a bath in chocolate sauce and stuff...that can always be fun...but it all depends on how much you want to spend, what do you want to do and how do you wanna do it?

Email me if you need some fun and cool ideas that will leave her breathless.

for my forth wedding anniversary my husband surprised me by telling me we were going out to dinner, instead he took me to a beautiful suite at the Hilton . when i walked in the room there were roses leading from the doorway to the bedroom. in the bedroom there were more roses spread on the bed in the shape of a heart, a bottle of wine and scattered candles. he then went out to the kitchen area and brought back a platter of fruit with a chocolate dipping sauce. we had a magical night.

Book a hotel suite with a four poster bed and don't tell her. Just say that the hotel is where you are taking her for dinner...and then after dinner give her the key to the room and say you will join her in 5 minutes.

How about going back to where you went on your wedding night? My hubby did this for me on our one year and it was truly special. We stayed in the same hotel, ordered the same food, took the same walk and ended with a horse and carriage ride. Try to think back to that day 10 years ago and try to recreate it as best you can! Congrats!!

Blind fold her early in the morning. Then take her up on a hot air ballon for sun rise with champange and orange juice.

Renew your vows and go on a second honeymoon (no kids included). You still have 9 months to save for it and plan it well.

Congrast and good luck

how about dinner and a horse driven carriage?
