Anniversary is the same weekend as Mother’s Day and a friends bday party. My wife and I have 2 little ones so he hardly get alone time.?

I wanted to get thoughts on this. Would it be ok to delay wedding anniversary and go a couple of weeks later? I was thinking something we both liked doing before kids such as an amusement park for the day.

Thoughts?

    IMO you should postpone the anniversary for a few weeks. Find a babysitter for 2 days and both of you have a great time alone and celebrate :)

    Ask your wife if it is ok if you have your anniversary early.

    I suggest you do not celebrate Mother's Day. And have tests done to determine who the fathers of your children are

    Oh, this is something you REALLY need to talk to your wife about ONLY.

    We get really picky on special occasions.

    If she's okay with that it would be fine. My birthday & our anniversary are 2 days apart. We always celebrate them together as one day.

    Skip the friend birthday. Do something for your wife and celebrate the anniversary this weekend or the weekend after Mother’s Day.

    My wife’s birthday is Christmas Eve so she and I always go out to eat or whatever the weekend prior since that holiday is obviously al about the family.

    You can celebrate anything on any day you want.

    Talk to your husband and decide what you guys want to do.

    Frankly, I'd rather delay (or skip) an anniversary celebration if the alternative meant cramming it into a weekend where we already had 40 other things to do. Lessens the stress, plus it gives us something to look forward to once all the obligations are out of the way.

    Of course this is fine! What matters is you remember the anniversary (lol, seriously) and that you do at least something on that day, even if it's just a card.

    My only other suggestion is talk to her about the plans. She might agree an amusement park sounds fun, but maybe she'd rather do something more "alone", like a romantic dinner somewhere. Talking about it is usually better than one person trying to come up with a plan.

    You two can do whatever you want. If you want to celebrate your anniversary later, then do that (PLENTY of people celebrate anniversaries and birthdays, as well as other events/holidays, on days other than the calendar date the event falls on).

    Acknowledge your anniversary on the date it falls, and plan to actually celebrate it on a date that's convenient to you both. No worries. You can celebrate it earlier than the date, later than the date, or not at all if you two choose. It's really a personal preference. Lots of people have scheduling issues in Life.

    Of course that's fine. Celebrate things whenever you can fit them in. You can't control when someone else has their birthday party, but you are in charge of scheduling your own celebrations at a time that's convenient for you.
