Is there anything better than being in love? Hardly. However, being in love isn’t always easy. You may feel like you’ve found everything you were searching for, but there always has to be some issue. Even if your significant other is the right match for you, you may feel down when celebrating an important day such as an anniversary. If your loved one is miles away, in another city, or even another country, you may feel like there’s no hope of a nice celebration. However, if there’s love, not even the miles will be a problem. Here is how to celebrate your anniversary no matter how far away you two are.
Plan everything in advance
If you already know that you won’t be able to spend your anniversary together, don’t despair. The most important thing is that you know what you can expect. That leaves you with a lot of time to think and prepare everything ahead.
Whether you’ll send some gifts over or arrange a Skype date, you’ll need to prepare for it either way. When it comes to the sending of gifts, you should do it on time. The gifts should be delivered by the actual date. On the other hand, if you go for a video date, keep in mind the different time zone or your daily activities and plan accordingly.
Send a gift
The best thing about getting someone presents is seeing their face when they open it. Unfortunately, this won’t be possible if your loved one is in another country, while you’re stuck at home. The fact that you won’t be there when they open their present doesn’t mean that it won’t still be as touching and moving.

Once your soul mate sees what you got for him or her, they’ll love it. All you need to do is send the gift and wait for their response to it. If you’re worried about the notorious shipping prices, there are ways to avoid them. For instance, if you’re buying the present online, you can ship it directly to your loved one’s address and save some money.
Record a video message
Sending a text for your anniversary isn’t particularly romantic. However, if you can’t call your significant other, you can at least send them a video message. These sorts of surprises are the best. It’s even better if both of you record some lovely video messages.
Make sure to tell them how much they mean to you, make some funny remarks, and include the greetings of your friends, family, and pets as well. Your significant other must miss all of you and including all of them in the video card will draw a smile on their face.
Send letters
Another idea that never fails when it comes to long-distance relationships is sending letters. If there are things that you want to say to your loved one, then do it! A handwritten letter is bound to make your significant other love you even more. What’s best, you can send some flowers to make the present even more romantic. Luckily, international flower delivery is an option, and you can choose the bouquet your loved one will appreciate the most.
If you want to further step up your live letter game, you can send the open-when letters. All you need to do is write a couple of different letters for your loved one. Then, seal the letters and write labels on them to show your loved one when to open them. You can send some for happy days, lonely days, nostalgic days, and any other days you think of.
Do something you both like
Even if your boyfriend or girlfriend isn’t there, you can still feel good for your anniversary. It’s an important day and you shouldn’t spend it in your bed. Instead, gather your friends and take them out for drinks. It’s best to have company for days like these. Otherwise, you would just miss your loved one more.
You can take your friends to the coffee shop your significant other and you love the most. Then, make sure to call him or her and include them in the activity. If you can’t call them, at least send them a lot of pictures and sweet messages.
Go on a virtual dinner date
If the time and your daily activities allow it, make sure to go on a dinner date with your girlfriend or boyfriend. Prepare the dinner on your own to make it more personal and meaningful.
Make sure to place your laptop properly and, when the time comes, enjoy both the food and the company of your loved one. Make sure to prepare something you both love and have him or her prepare the same. Even though you’ll be miles apart, you’ll still enjoy your meal and special day together.
Stay connected throughout the entire day
Another idea to bring you two closer on this special day is to stay in touch the whole time. Luckily, technology can make this happen with no problem. For example, you could send them pictures of food for the whole day.
Namely, you could cook their favourite food throughout the day. You can start with pancakes and finish with some cute chocolates at night. Whatever your partner likes will be a great idea. This will show him or her that you think of them and that you care.
Go on a movie date
Are you and your partner movie lovers? Why not include this shared passion for your anniversary celebration? Long-distance movie night can be the right thing for you. You could pick a movie you’ve both wanted to see for a long time and set the time for the date.
You could communicate over texts or a phone call during the film, or you could call each other after the movie is over. Whatever you choose to do will serve as a great conversation starter and you won’t be too sad over the fact that you’re miles away from each other.
Conclusion
Even though it seems impossible, you can celebrate your anniversary even when you’re not in the same country as your loved one. All you need are a strong will and strong emotions, and the distance won’t matter at all.
