Drinking Glasses
Be sure to snag those expensive wine and drinking glasses from your sweetheart table for your 1 year anniversary box. Not only will they be great to drink wine out of, but they represent the union of you and your husband.

Dried Flowers
You paid a lot for your bouquet, so save it by pressing some of your favorite flowers in a book and placing that in your anniversary box.

If you are not into pressing flowers, you can just places them in your box as is which will age them just as nicely for when you pull them out 1 year from then.
Mix Tape

This can make for some good background, mood music for when you are celebrating spending 1 year together. The DJ will be glad to give you a list of songs that he played so that you don’t have to try and write down each one that you and your spouse liked.
