Long Distance Anniversary Ideas: How to Celebrate When Miles Apart
Being apart on your anniversary doesn't mean you can't celebrate meaningfully. These creative ideas will help you make your long-distance anniversary special and memorable.
Celebrating an anniversary in a long-distance relationship can feel bittersweet. You want to be together, but circumstances say otherwise. But distance doesn't have to diminish your celebration—with creativity, you can make it just as meaningful.
These ideas will help you celebrate your love across the miles, creating memories and connection even when you can't be physically together.
Virtual Date Ideas
Shared experiences you can have from different locations.
Synchronized Dinner Date
Order the same meal delivered to both locations (or cook the same recipe). Get dressed up, set the table nicely, and have dinner together over video call. Light candles, play the same music, and pretend you're at the same restaurant.
Watch Party
Watch a movie together using streaming apps' watch-together features, or simply count down and press play at the same moment. Choose something meaningful—your first movie together, or something new you've both wanted to see.
Game Night
Play online games together, from casual mobile games to more immersive experiences. Or use a video call for classic games like 20 Questions, Truth or Dare, or trivia about your relationship.
Virtual Tour
Take a virtual tour together of a museum, city, or landmark you've wanted to visit. Many major attractions offer free virtual experiences. Plan to actually visit together someday.
