What to give parents on their wedding anniversary?

Not only young couples celebrate the anniversaries of life together. Many parents are completely dedicated to work, caring for children and grandchildren, while forgetting the importance of their own family holidays. Therefore, even if they say that they do not want to celebrate the next anniversary, this is not a reason to forget about this date and not give them a token of attention as a gift.

In some families, it is not customary to celebrate wedding anniversaries, in others, on the contrary, every year the whole family gets together and a cup of tea recalls the best moments of life together, plans are made for the future. There are also special dates that do not mark. This is due to various superstitions. They do not have a name and how to celebrate them and whether to do it at all is a personal matter of each family. The very first anniversary comes a year after the wedding, it is called calico.

On this little anniversary, you can give young chintz items and bedding. A paper anniversary (2 years) hints at the fragility of the relationship and the possibility of an easy break. Present photo albums, paintings or money and securities as a presentation.

Three years of marriage are marked by a leather wedding. Spouses have already managed to get used to each other. Friends and relatives come to the celebration with souvenirs made of genuine leather and all kinds of products from it (bags, wallets, purses). Next in line is a linen wedding (4 years). Its name speaks of the naturalness (sincerity) of relations and their sufficient strength. Curtains, tablecloths or bedding will be a useful gift.

5 years of living together is the first serious anniversary.A noble, solid tree speaks of a strong relationship, but a small spark can burn it. There are a lot of options for surprise: furniture, souvenirs, dishes and everything made of wood. After the first round date, there is a cast-iron anniversary - 6 years. A home hearth is unthinkable without a cast iron in which the hostess cooks delicious porridge. The family has already proven its worth and many raise one or two children, that is, the family has become complete. It’s better to give dishes or forged products (furniture, figurines).

A copper wedding is 7 years after the wedding. Copper is a strong but flexible material. It symbolizes the fact that the couple learned to find compromises and adapt to each other's needs. As a gift, they buy coins, belts, jewelry. Many people think about what to give for a tin wedding (8 years). After all, finding a worthy item from this material is difficult. You can limit yourself to tin packaging (box). But what you put in it depends entirely on your imagination and desire.

It seems that 9 years together is a serious period. But the date is called faience. On the one hand, this material is durable, on the other - brittle. A strong blow can split the family, so much so that gluing it will not work. A great surprise will be dishes and porcelain (especially if a couple appreciates and collects it). So we quietly got to the first round date. It seems that yesterday you exchanged rings, and today you have been living together for 10 years.

The steel anniversary after marriage is 11 years. Help the spouses update the “family hearth” and present cutlery, a set of pots or pans. On the 12th anniversary, called nickel, you can order paired bracelets or rings for parents. Think about the inscription or engraving. It can be touching or funny, remind you of family values ​​or be personal.

Delicate airy lace with cunning weaves perfectly characterizes the following date - 13 years of family life. The family has already formed relationships and relationships (friends, relatives, colleagues, etc.). You can present them with delicate tablecloths, tulle and other lace accessories. 14 years after the wedding are not in vain called the agate date. This is a multi-layered mineral with wonderful overflows and stains. So the life of spouses has many layers and simply can not be homogeneous. It is logical to assume that souvenirs and jewelry with this stone will become a real symbol of the holiday.

A great occasion to fill the crystal glasses with a sparkling drink is the 15th anniversary of living together, called the crystal wedding. Of course, don’t give crystal shoes, but services made of Bohemian glass and this material will be very useful. Do not forget that in the USSR the presence of crystal in the house was considered a sign of wealth, so the older generation has a special attitude to it. A round date of 20 years of family life is popularly called porcelain. Following this symbolism, presentations should be appropriate. A tea set or a set of painted plates will long remind spouses of the wonderful moments spent with family and friends.

Silver is a semiprecious metal, but certainly not gold. The couple has already passed halfway to the "golden" anniversary. 25 years is a long time. Spouses no longer need to prove anything, they are just happy together. Choose for congratulations jewelry, a set of paired tea spoons or just household utensils made of this metal. Marital life is like a bead. Many individual events are woven together by a single thread. It will be symbolic to present this jewelry for a pearl anniversary (30 years). We think you guessed the number of beads in it yourself.

The mark of 35 years after marriage is usually called a coral or wardrobe. Accordingly, surprises should be in this area. You can play with the color, giving the anniversaries a large bouquet of coral roses. The ruby ​​stone in mystical meaning serves as a talisman for good people, strengthens their feelings and embodies dreams. Ruby anniversary (40 years) is a proof of the strength and health of the family (the stone itself carries the same value). Souvenirs and jewelry with this bright mineral will be symbolic.

The next anniversary also bears the name of one of the gems, namely sapphire. Children can show imagination and give not only products with this stone, but also other objects that have a similar color. For example, a pair of cozy sapphire rugs will bring comfort and warmth to the house. And now the golden wedding is 50 years together. This is a whole life, and not everyone is destined to celebrate it. One can be proud that feelings and respect for each other have stood the test of time.

The symbolic figure of 55 years carries a special charge. She recalls that spouses are one, each of them is equal in their rights, but at the same time they are independent individuals. At this wonderful age, the best gift from loved ones will be the organization of the holiday. Get grandchildren involved. After all, there is nothing more important than family traditions. This is followed by a diamond anniversary (60 years). A strong expensive stone reminds you of what a treasure it is to have a family. As a gift you can present jewelry with a precious stone or something resembling it.

The anniversary of 65 years of marriage is called iron. Often we use this designation for something very strong and reliable. You can give a tool kit or other items made of iron. The blessed wedding is celebrated for 70 years of family life. From relatives and friends, any objects that carry the energy of love and fidelity will be appropriate. It can also be intangible goods in the form of certificates and simply pleasant surprises.

Spouses celebrating the 75th anniversary of their family are real "kings", and the wedding is called the crown one. Indeed, not every couple is destined to celebrate this anniversary. Gifts must be appropriate. No wonder there is the concept of "family tree." And introducing it, we draw in our imagination a wide massive oak. So the 80th anniversary of the wedding is such a name. Like this sprawling tree, the family has both “roots” and “crown”. The most important thing for spouses at this age is the attention of loved ones and relatives. Oak gifts (dishes, figurines, etc.) are welcome.

We all heard the expression "hard as granite." That is why the anniversary of 90 years is called granite. What can already happen to a family that has been together for so long? Even if you do not come up with a worthy gift from this material, do not forget to surround mom and dad with your love and care. Nine and a half decades together - this is worthy of all respect and admiration. The wedding is called a diamond.

Diamond is the strongest of the known crystals. This also applies to the family. If your parents are true long-livers, then give them gifts that are good for your health. Well, and what kind of name suits a significant anniversary of 100 years of family life, if not platinum? The most expensive and luxurious of the known precious metals. Not every child can afford to buy jewelry from it. But there is a way out. Another wedding name is red. Thus, a choice appears between jewelry and red objects.

Well, if you have a large amount and can present a truly memorable present.But even with modest possibilities, you can find good ideas for gifts for anniversaries. Children know their parents better than anyone. If you notice that the teapot or coffee grinder is out of order, then you can buy this necessary thing for the anniversary. So you will not only make it pleasant, but also show concern. Parents will be touched by the fact that you remember such trifles.

A photo frame or photo collage is also a good presentation option. You can attract grandchildren to this, who can draw or stick their wishes and congratulations to it. Photos are always a memory. Moreover, today they are becoming less and less printed. Most of the information is stored on electronic media. An interesting option is paired little things for the home. It can be slippers, bathrobes or cups.

Options for older spouses can be represented by cozy rugs or cute trinkets in the house: a housekeeper on a door, a rug, etc. Gifts do not have to be material. You can cook dinner and bring the whole family together. So you will save the "newlyweds" from unnecessary fuss. Think over the scenario of the celebration, pick up original congratulations.

Thinking about a gift for mom and dad, I want to give an unusual creative present. Among the original gifts, the following can be distinguished.

• Trip to the sanatorium. She will help restore strength and spend time in an unusual place. In addition, it is not as expensive as a trip to the warmer climes.
• Family portrait. Today, there are many techniques for their implementation. This is a mosaic, and the creation of a picture from small photos and, of course, a classic watercolor or oil. It will be necessary to find the artist in advance and give him a photo, according to which he will work.
• Celebratory banquet. Invite the “newlyweds” to their own celebration, which you organized. Take care of the guests. Although it may be a family dinner in a narrow circle.
• Photo collage of old photos. Think of romantic or funny inscriptions. It will be nice if all family members take part in its creation.
• You can give your parents a wedding anniversary and a visit to the massage or spa. There was no such luxury in their youth, so why not try it today?

Wishes of a sweet life can be accompanied by an appropriate gift. If the couple did not order a birthday cake, then give them such a gift. Do not be lazy and order it in advance, let it also display the date that the "newlyweds" celebrate. In addition, now confectioners offer various gingerbread cookies. They look no less presentable and festive. They can also have a wedding date or a symbol of a particular anniversary.

Although there is an expression that “they don’t look at a gifted horse”, parents should understand the situation when choosing a gift. Refuse the following presents.

• Money. There is a high probability that they will refuse. In this situation, both the giving and the receiving parties feel uncomfortable. It is believed that this is a gift without a soul. This is a good present for colleagues or acquaintances, but not for people who are close and dear to you.
• Alcohol. Even if it is a good elite drink, it will not show your care and love for your parents. In addition, in old age it is strictly contraindicated.
• Cheap low-quality gifts. Of course, parents will not say a word to you. But the present will be absolutely useless and unnecessary. Let it be a good bouquet.
• Appliances. On the one hand, it is, of course, a very practical gift. But how useful it is, so banal. If they really need a vacuum cleaner or other equipment, then you can give it to her for no reason.

A song or verse composed by you will be very pleasant for parents. Try to tell in verse form about their first meeting and what a good son (daughter) was born to them after a while. Do not forget that the feast is primarily toasts. Take care of them in advance. A large number of them can be found on the World Wide Web, but it will be more pleasant if you compose your own. It does not have to be in poetic form.

You can also organize a collective congratulation. To do this, prepare short funny quatrains and distribute them to guests. Remember to number them so that everyone knows in what order they are performing. Wedding Anniversary is a family holiday. This is the time when couples take stock and make plans. Celebrate it widely or gather quietly and in a family way - you decide. But in any case, a gift to parents will never be superfluous.
