  Your 20th wedding anniversary is not just another year, but marks your commitment, love and dedication to each other for the length of two whole decades. While this is a significant history marker in your relationship, you can make it memorable, special and romantic without going overboard and spending a fortune in the process.
  
  

Use the Numbers

• Use the number of years you have been together to your advantage. Buy 20 flowers, such as roses; the blossoms your wife carried in her bridal bouquet; or day lilies, which represent the 20th anniversary, according to romancestuck.com. Write out 20 things you love about your husband or 20 of your favorite memories with him, or give him 20 inexpensive gifts, each of which remind her of a trip you took together, a "first" in your relationship, or another favorite memory.
  
  

Plan a Romantic Getaway

• Find a romantic bed and breakfast, hotel or rental cottage within a few hours' drive. Spend your time together reflecting on your marriage and the last 20 years you have been together. Experts at romancestuck.com suggest reliving the magic of your wedding day by watching your wedding video together, if you have one, or looking through your wedding photos. Spend time remembering how you felt, what you were thinking and what you pictured your future together looking like.
  
  

Relive Your Wedding Reception

• Celebrate your 20th anniversary with your friends and family, by reliving your wedding reception for far less the cost. Have a barbecue or dinner at your home or the home of a family member or friend. Set up a home theater for music and create a makeshift dance floor. Play the songs that were sung or played on your wedding day. Rent a tent, buy an informal dress and suit, and decorate with your wedding colors. Make or order a cake similar to the one served at your wedding, and try to repeat the reception in its entirety.
  
  

Modern or Traditional Gifts

• For the 20th anniversary, the traditional gift is china and the modern gift is platinum. Depending on your budget, buy a set of new china that you both like. Pick it out together. Give each other platinum-themed gifts, such as platinum roses -- a real rose preserved in platinum -- or platinum-detailed serving ware.
