I do for any type of holiday or anniversary we have since I feel like it's a good thing to do / tradition start, even if he doesn't get me a card he'll still get one
I have never gotten one, but my husband and I aren’t gift people. I would talk to your boyfriend about what you want out of the holidays. Men are oblivious and if you don’t tell them, they think what they are doing is okay.
We don’t do anniversary cards when not married! In fact we keep forgetting every year 😂
Honestly if I was in a 5 year relationship and they didn’t get me anything (not materialistic but just the thought), i would be reconsidering the entire relationship… because 5 years is something special and he couldn’t even get you are a card?! Even a simple hand made one? he needs to step up cuz wtf.. you deserve more… I’m a firm believer if he cared… if he wanted to make you feel special he would.
We never did anniversary cards or anything before we got married, because we didn’t have an anniversary to remember, there was no particular date. I can’t imagine saying ‘will you be my boyfriend?’ and then remembering that date, maybe it’s the same for your other half?
I think anniversary cards are perfectly fine even when not married, I mean those years before marriage are just as important (especially if children are involved)
