Well, the first thing is don't ignore or forget your Anniversary. This is the one day a year that is special for you and your partner.
Traditionally celebrations often involve giving and receiving of cards and gifts that match the anniversary year being celebrated. Often these gifts are made of a specific material that symbolises the year being celebrated.

Happpy 4th wedding anniversary! I just asked the same kind of question yesterday.:) This Friday will be my 11th wedding anniversary. We have been together 17 years. Since we will have 4 days to celebrate, I also wanted some ideas. This might be an idea for you to do every anniversary, we have someone take a picture of my husband and I on our anniversary every year. I put our cards and our picture in a book. It's nice to look back on. If you can think of anything let me know.P)

sounds like what you have planned is good. you can still rent a movie tomorrow and watch it after the kids are in bed. send him an ecard at work (hallmark is free!)
my hubby and i will be married 20 years in october and while we have no money now(we hope he has a new job by then!)by then we may go to a hotel for a weekend to celebrate both my bday (september) and our anniv).
