[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In another thread, a DIL was peeved that her ILs don't recognize her wedding anniversary. I have to say, I've never thought a wedding anniversary must be recognized by anyone other than the married couple themselves...

Do people really expect cards/gifts/recognition of their anniversary from anyone other than their spouse? Is this a thing?[/quote]

One local resort gives couples a free 1 year anniversary stay of 1 night if they stayed there for their wedding.  For our 1st a very long time ago, DH was away on business so my parents and I went out to dinner.  For my married DC's 1st anniversary  they'll get a dinner for the 2 of them at a fine restaurant from us.  Whenever it's convenient for them and they can get a reservation.  If they choose not to eat there then they keep the cash.

For my parents 50th, we sent flowers and then when visiting had dinner, got flowers for the table,  and cake. Special meal in their dining room and they enjoyed their grandchildren. Regular years maybe a call and a card.  One of my SIL's has huge demands on her adult children and their families for everything and it began with weddings so I feel for all of you with those sort of parents or inlaws.[/quote]
