<\/a><\/p>\nSo, since I’m all about finding\u00a0absolutely any\u00a0<\/em>reason to celebrate, I thought it would be fun if we had a “Honeymooniversary” themed around Jamaica and the wonderful time we had there. \u00a0Guys, if you’re married and have gone on your honeymoon, I highly recommend doing this! \u00a0Even if we couldn’t go back to Jamaica, we were still able to bring Jamaica to us and it was so much fun! \u00a0This can be done with any honeymoon- just recreate it at home! \u00a0Get creative:) \u00a0Here’s how I came up with ours:<\/p>\n When & Where:<\/strong><\/p>\n We honeymooned at the beginning of April, so we made sure to celebrate our Honeymooniversary at the beginning of April on a Saturday. \u00a0With the warm spring weather we’ve been having, I dared to celebrate outside on our deck. \u00a0It was overcast most the day, but warm- so it worked out.<\/p>\n Menu:<\/strong><\/p>\n The menu was the easiest part! \u00a0We brought a bottle of jerk seasoning home with us from Jamaica, so my hubby grilled some jerk chicken, and I made homemade french fries to go with. \u00a0(Jerk chicken and fries was the first meal we had in Jamaica! \u00a0All we were missing was two Red Stripe beers…) \u00a0To drink, we made some rum punch. \u00a0We also made two Jamaican Smiles for dessert, which are my absolute favorite drink from the trip. \u00a0If you ever go you NEED to order one!! \u00a0(Or two, or three…) \u00a0Of course ours were not quite like the ones we had on our honeymoon, but they were still delicious.<\/p>\n Decor:<\/strong><\/p>\n We picked up some outdoor place mats at the Dollar Tree, and I couldn’t pass up the flamingo. \u00a0(P.S. The Dollar Tree also has those cute little umbrellas that you can put in drinks! \u00a0We picked up a pack, and saw the same ones at Safeway for $3.99! \u00a0Hah, nice try Safeway…) \u00a0The flowers I already had. \u00a0I also\u00a0had\u00a0<\/em>to string some twinkle lights on the deck railing, which weren’t very bright (boo) but I’ll take dim twinkle lights over no twinkle lights\u00a0any\u00a0<\/em>day.<\/p>\n Entertainment:<\/strong><\/p>\n For entertainment, we (of course) blasted tropical music and danced around the deck. \u00a0It is impossible\u00a0not\u00a0<\/em>to dance to a steel drum band. \u00a0I also brought out two mini squirt guns (straight from my childhood, I swear) and filled them up with warm water. \u00a0It’s no Caribbean ocean, but it certainly worked in entertaining us. \u00a0After dinner we had an ALL OUT water fight with our mini squirt guns. \u00a0Did I mention it was an indoor water fight? \u00a0Yeah. \u00a0You wouldn’t think it, but those little squirt guns\u00a0soaked\u00a0<\/em>the house! \u00a0Thank goodness it’s just water, right? \u00a0Our dogs thought we were loony tunes crazy I’m sure- one of them ran for cover in the office and the other was right in on the action.<\/p>\n Our Honeymooniversary was a blast, and I seriously think we should all celebrate the anniversary of all big trips. \u00a0I mean, why not?<\/p>\n Happy Saturday lovelies!
