Living together in marriage can be different, but everyone strives for harmony and comfort so that it is always pleasant to return home, plunging into a pleasant atmosphere. So that the daily routine and life does not empty the spouses, it is worth organizing some events and surprises for each other more often. If you can’t please your soulmate for no reason, then in case of a wedding anniversary, you should try and do something special and very pleasant.
"Young" marriages
No matter how many years the couple has lived together, it is always worth treating the wedding anniversary as the most important holiday of the family. If you do not pay due attention to your soulmate, do not prove that your wedding day was the happiest and most important, then there is a danger of the collapse of such a family. For a happy married life it is necessary to constantly remind how much the husband loves his wife and she, organizing a variety of events for this.
A wedding anniversary gift is optional, but very pleasant. Whatever the date, round or not, both husband and wife will be pleased to receive a surprise that will tell about the love of the second half.
You can use unusual ideas, come up with surprises, or give something that is expensive to a partner or that traditions advise.
- First anniversary It is called as a chintz wedding, therefore the gift should be appropriate.
- Third anniversary - A leather wedding, because the choice of a gift can be very interesting.
- Fifth It is called a wooden wedding, which can lead to the right choice of a surprise or an interesting idea for organizing a holiday.
- Seventh date living together is called a copper wedding, which gives a direct hint of gift options for spouses.
- Tenth anniversary called tin, because the gift should also be appropriate.
Each of these dates is special, and therefore a gift for a loved one should mean something. It is not necessary to give something from chintz a year after the wedding, but such a present will be pleasant and symbolic, which can strengthen the union and make it happier.
Cool gifts can be made of leather if the third anniversary of marriage is celebrated, which in many ways “patted” the spouses and “gave the belt,” but those who survived were fully rewarded.
The husband can make original gifts to his wife in the sixth year of marriage, presenting something of cast iron. The main thing is to pack the gift beautifully and present it in such a way that the spouse does not consider it as another commitment, but with joy and inspiration bakes, cooks or fries on a new cast-iron product. A decade from the wedding day is quite a lot, because after living together for ten years, you can accurately understand your feelings in relation to your spouse, because the celebration of this anniversary should be as loud and bright as possible, with an abundance of chic gifts.
1 year
Those families who live in marriage for the first year can experience many different emotions and conditions during this time. Not everyone met for a long time before marriage, not everyone had a chance to live together, because the storm of passions will not settle down for a long time, but this does not give a reason to postpone the celebration of this date or neglect it, quite the opposite. On the first anniversary of marriage, a husband and wife can please each other with gifts such as:
- a beautiful bed set that will be equally pleasant for both husband and wife;
- tablecloths, aprons and napkins from the husband for the wife who loves to observe folk traditions;
- chintz decorative pillows that will make the interior of a young couple’s house even better and warmer.
During the first year, the husband and wife learn a lot about each other and can already come up with gifts regarding the hobbies of the second half:
- an athlete spouse can buy sneakers or the uniform of your favorite sports company;
- a music lover should give a selection of his favorite or newest songs, decorated with love;
- An amateur photographer will love the new lens or specialized details for creating photo effects.
If you can’t find the best gift, then a candlelit dinner with beautiful music will always be relevant.
5 years
After five years of marriage, the spouses already have their family habits and foundations, often the family already has children and all life issues are fully settled. In this case, the celebration of the anniversary becomes no less important, since you can summarize and determine the sailing course of the family ship for the next 10 years. To make the holiday a success, it is worth considering the event itself and the gifts that will be presented to the spouses. Since 5 years of marriage are called a wooden wedding, the most favorable gifts can be considered such as:
- small wood products, such as chests, caskets and small containers of various shapes, which will be equally pleasant for both husband and wife;
- wooden jewelry given to spouses as a traditional anniversary gift, symbolizing harmony in the family;
- furniture made of natural wood or chipboard, which will complement the interior of the house, which has long had everything you need.
If you want to make gifts of a personal nature, then it is worth a little to move away from traditions, and focus on what the husband or wife loves:
- for a wife who in her free time deals with flowers, it is worth giving some kind of rare and beautiful look that will take pride of place in her collection;
- for a husband who is fond of modeling tanks, cars or aircraft, you can buy the model that he lacks in the collection;
- for a family of athletes who are actively rooting for a particular team in a sport, you can give tickets to a sporting event.
Whatever gift is chosen, it will hit the mark precisely, because after five years of marriage, the couple know everything about each other and can easily find something that will please their soulmate.
10 years
The tenth anniversary of the wedding is a very serious anniversary, which is popularly called a tin or pink wedding. Those spouses who have lived together for 10 years can afford to throw a real feast by inviting all their close and close friends, who have accumulated a lot during this time. Preparation for such an event should be thorough, as well as the selection of gifts. Based on tradition, you can choose these gifts:
- pewter cutlery with the names of the husband and wife;
- if you want to remember a significant date for a long time, you can order a tin keychain as a gift, where there will be a festive inscription from one spouse to another;
- the wife will be very pleased to receive a huge bouquet of roses, preferably red, which is symbolized by love and passion;
- if you need to give a gift to spouses from friends, then a good option would be a bed set with red roses.
Such a round date gives rise to no doubt that harmony, order and comfort reign in the family, and therefore a big holiday was arranged for good reason. To maintain the level of love and passion, a husband and wife are simply obligated to celebrate their anniversaries, annually recalling the happiest moment when they joined their hearts forever, becoming a family.
Mature Unions
When a couple has been living together for more than ten years, their family often grows, because children appear. Each new wedding anniversary is celebrated in a new composition, and after some time, children will make gifts to mom and dad, which, of course, will be very pleasant for them. Husband and wife, who have traveled so long together, have a lot of knowledge about each other, and therefore it is not so difficult for them to come up with original and interesting gifts for each other.
It may not be so easy for family friends to pick up a good present, which means there is reason to remember traditions and choose something in accordance with them.
15 years
When the couple prepares to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of marriage, she plans a fairly large celebration to which family members and closest friends are invited. Husband and wife and all guests should choose the right presents to be presented at the event. The most suitable for this case will be:
- jewelry donated by husband to wife;
- crystal vase from friends;
- glass service from relatives;
- glass frame with a photograph of parents from children.
All of the above is connected with traditions, according to which it is worth giving crystal or glass on this anniversary. But you can move away from her, giving the family what is needed.
20 years
After 20 years of family life, the union between the spouses has become quite strong, which means that the holiday should be very noisy and fun. Each year, the number of guests will only increase, because children grow, get married, give birth to children. A good holiday is not complete without an organized program, delicious treats and gifts. For 20 years of married life you can give:
- dishes made of porcelain, which will be displayed in a glass cabinet;

Any gift will be valuable and pleasant, especially if it was chosen from the heart and especially for anniversaries.
30 years
Husband and wife, who have lived together for 30 years, deserve to celebrate a pearl wedding by throwing a good feast. Children can organize a noisy event as a gift for them, and grandchildren who can tell a short verse, sleep or dance can make a pleasant surprise for them. Of the main gifts that are customary to give for such a serious anniversary, we can distinguish the following:
- pearl-colored dishes: white, black, pearl;
- souvenirs that are specially made with pearls for couples;
- the wife will be pleased to receive pearl jewelry;
- as a souvenir you can make a photo frame decorated with pearls, where to place a photo collage of the whole family of spouses.
There can be many options for surprises and gifts, because the couple have long been together and their tastes and needs are known to all close associates.
The strongest couples
Those who have lived together for more than 25 years can consider themselves truly happy people, because their marriage has endured a lot, and despite all the problems and hardships, the husband and wife remained faithful to each other, creating a large and friendly family. At the celebration of anniversaries, not only children but also grandchildren will work on the selection of gifts. They can present something done by their own hands to their grandparents.
Such serious dates should be marked with increased pathos, and therefore flowers from each guest will become a mandatory attribute.
40 years
Not everyone can live together for 40 years and still be truly happy. Those who have received such an honor should rightfully be rewarded with a beautiful holiday in their honor. Usually the family by this time becomes very large, but no less friendly, which means that the holiday will be held in a warm and cozy atmosphere. The fortieth anniversary is called the ruby wedding. Traditional gifts for her are:
- any beautiful things and red objects that friends and family can give;
- beautiful caskets decorated with ruby stones will be a gorgeous gift from relatives;
- you can choose unusual or antique watches for spouses;
- the wife will appreciate the ruby jewelry that her husband will present.
Although the ruby will be the dominant stone at the celebration, it is not necessary to submit to it the style of the celebration or all the gifts, most importantly, focus on the tastes of the husband and wife in order to please them as much as possible.
50 years
Husband and wife, who lived together for so long, managed to attend a variety of roles - initially newlyweds, then parents, after a long time grandparents, but now it's time for great-grandchildren. There are not many couples who live together to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the wedding, but there are still such cases. The most successful gifts for a golden wedding will be:
- gifts in gilding - caskets, dishes, trays;
- jewelry for husband and wife;
- a gift from one spouse to another in the form of a favorite jewelry made of gold.
Since the holiday is very special, you should not save on a gift. There should be a lot of relatives and guests at the event, which means that there is an opportunity to realize some kind of a couple’s dream, to do for them what they have long dreamed of. It could be:
- family photo shoot;
- a trip to Europe;
- buying a car;
- purchase of a country house.
If you start preparing for the celebration of the anniversary in advance, you can choose the most interesting and unusual options that will delight spouses on their fiftieth wedding anniversary.
What can you do yourself?
Sometimes it happens that there is no time or money to prepare a beautiful or expensive gift, but this is not a reason to be upset. There are surprises that look much better, made with your own hands, than bought in a store. To please spouses for any anniversary, you can do the following:
- handmade soap, which will be a great option for both husband and wife, because the components, colors and aromas can be selected individually;
- photo of spouses embroidered manually on fabric and inserted into a frame;
- photo collage from pictures of different years, placed in a frame decorated by hand;
- a patchwork quilt made of many different fabrics joined together as a symbol of years lived together by a couple;
- wine glasses with a pattern and individual decor, which are appropriate to give on any anniversary;
- knitted gifts that are more suitable for older spouses.
A handmade gift is sometimes much better than a bought one, and it is valued unambiguously higher, because the soul and love of the creator are enclosed in it, which is very pleasant for any person.
What is better not to give?
There are a lot of gifts that can and should be given, but in order to buy or present what is appropriate, it is important to know about those options that are undesirable. These will be:
- money, if:
- husband and wife are much older than those who present a gift;
- spouses are much younger than donors;
- a married couple is very rich;
- spouses are new to donors.
- spoons and knives will be superfluous, because they are considered harbingers of quarrels and discord;
- watches or wall clocks that may portend a couple’s separation (the exception may be the choice of such a gift at the request of the family or in the case of custom-made products);
- fear is worth the mirrors, which can cause too early old age or bring illness into the house;
- all kinds of scarves from flax will also not be very appropriate, as they can become harbingers of tears, quarrels and partings;
- you can please the spouses with vivid impressions, but in some cases such a gift will be undesirable, this:
- conservative and practical husband and wife in certain issues that the donor wants to change;
- the tight budget of spouses who will have to spend money to get those very cherished impressions;
- poor knowledge of the couple’s tastes when the gift may not please them or even offend.
For whatever wedding anniversary a gift is selected, you need to study all possible options, exclude everything that will be superfluous and inappropriate and leave only those presentations that will be pleasant for spouses, sincere and reminiscent of a special date, which will be celebrated.
Knowing what you should not give is as important as a good choice of surprise that will be truly enjoyable and for many years will remind you of the holiday date and who pleased the husband and wife on their significant day.
