How to spend this day?

Twenty-one years of the wedding comes after a bright porcelain jubilee, on which it is customary to collect many friends and relatives. Opal wedding - a good reason to spend time with your soulmate.

  • Restaurant or cafe. This option is the most popular, but not as interesting as the rest. However, any woman even occasionally wants to “walk” her most beautiful clothes and high-heeled shoes that cannot be worn every day. Why not do it on such a momentous day as the 21st anniversary.
  • Joint training. Today, the so-called pair master classes, in which lovers or just friends can create something interesting through joint efforts, are rapidly gaining their popularity (it all depends on the direction). This may be the creation of any crafts, cooking a delicious dish or just a dance workshop. In any case, only positive memories will definitely remain of such a pastime.

And in vain, after all, a quiet family evening can be supplemented with appetizing dishes and tasty drinks, as well as pleasant music and soft light of aroma candles, after which you can review your home video archive or just enjoy a good movie.
  • A little ride. One of the most interesting gift options for both husband and wife, and vice versa, is a joint journey. If the financial side allows, it can be a rest for two abroad, a tour of Europe, or just a trip to the country. Whatever it was, such a gift will be remembered for a long time. The main thing is to prepare in advance: buy tickets, take a weekend at work.
  • Walk on the nature. If the street is not minus 25, then this option is no less interesting among the rest, and most importantly - it is budget. Spouses can either go to nature on a barbecue, or just go to the park and admire the surrounding nature, taking with them a basket with food and a blanket.
  • Theater. In the infinite daily bustle of people rarely think about their spiritual enrichment.
