Common Questions About 1-Year Anniversary Posts
What is a 1-year relationship anniversary called?
For dating couples, it is simply called your first anniversary or your one-year milestone. For married couples, the traditional first milestone is called the paper anniversary, which symbolizes the blank pages of your new life together.
Should I post a single photo or a carousel for my one-year anniversary?
A carousel is highly popular because it lets you recap the entire 12-month journey visually. However, if you have one stunning professional shot or a favorite wedding throwback, a single photo with a strong caption works just as well.
