Time Capsule Ideas for Couples

Read about these time capsule ideas for couples, if you are looking for something different and fun to do. It may be your wedding day, anniversary, or you just want something fun to do your your date night. Sometimes your marriage or relationship can use a little reviving and reminiscing. It is healthy for you to remind you why you were married to each other in the first place.

Time Capsule Ideas for Couples Date Night

Do you remember your first gift you received from your spouse or partner? What was it like to open that present? Was it something you felt like you had to get the other person because you were at a Birthday or Christmas party together, or did you want to surprise them with your first gift?

After working in counseling for about four years, I have seen many couples on the verge of breaking up or a divorce. It saddened me when I heard them say defeating statements and a longing for the good old days in their relationship again. This is one of the main reasons, why I recommend to everyone to get a Wedding Time Capsule or make your own using the “Any Occasion” DIY Time Capsule to preserve your early couple year memories.

When you use the DIY Time Capsule, it is very personalized. You can put any photos from our computer, cell phone, or social media on the outside of the DIY Time Capsule to decorate it however you want to. Then, start collecting mementos and memorabilia, like items from your first year of marriage, or first anniversary year, to open and look at again on your 25th anniversary. Write a “Message to the Future” letter to each other about your predictions of what you think the future will look like. For example, how many children will you have? Where will you live? What will be your future job? You can also have other family and friends fill out these letters for you to read in the future.

It will be so interesting and fun to open this Wedding or DIY Marriage Time Capsule years in the future (on whatever date you choose), and reminisce about the good and hard times you had in your marriage and how much you have overcome as a couple. Add your bucket list that you make together, that you hope to complete by your 25th anniversary or whenever you open your time capsule together.

Save a gas receipt, or other grocery receipts to show the prices of things the year you fill your time capsule. Also include photos of the places you go to routinely. It will be interesting to see if your routine or daily schedule changes over the years. You can also save a local newspaper that will sum up the main headline events happening in the world at the time.

Last, but certainly not least, include a bottle of wine and a copy of your wedding vows in the time capsule for couples. In case of a fight or emergency in your relationship, open your time capsule early and reminisce. Also, make sure you drink the wine and start doing some of the date suggestions left from your friends and family and hopefully that will help rekindle your relationship.

Do NOT Open Until

Have family and friends write down great date ideas, for you to try as a couple, when the time capsule is opened in the future. These written down date suggestions will be great time capsule ideas for couples to do when the time capsule is opened again, and it will help revive that spark in your marriage.

Make sure you hide your time capsule somewhere you do not ever look in your house. It can also be set up on your fireplace mantle or in your bedroom on a shelf, but it will taunt you for years to come about what you as a couple and your friends put inside of it. Whatever you do, we do not recommend burying your time capsule. It will ruin the sentimental contents inside.

So, what would be some of your time capsule ideas for couples to do? Comment below.
