However, if hers is a little more meaningful, I would try to distract her as much as possible doing non-anniversary-type things. No dinners, no activities where you have to sit around and there is time for contemplation (i.e., no sitting on a beach). Anything that she likes to do that is active and distracting is good. Shopping, anything athletic, anything involving walking around etc.

I had an anniversary during the period that I was waiting for the divorce to be final. I remember it vaguely pissing me off because I was anxious for the process to be over. The day itself was just another day to me though. Maybe a girlfriend or two took me out for pre-celebritory drinks. So even though I tell people I was married 5 years, technically I was married for 6.
By the next year, I didn't even note the day passing.
