20 years of family life is an anniversary, round and, of course, significant date for each couple. Porcelain is considered to be its symbol - one of the most expensive and beautiful, but at the same time easily breakable materials. On this day, it is customary to congratulate the heroes of the day with memorable gifts.
What is the name of the anniversary?
20 years after the marriage, the spouses are already perceived as a whole: they are related and accustomed to each other's habits, they have learned to work together out of any situation, both good and not very favorable. The twentieth anniversary of marriage is called a china wedding. And this is no accident: porcelain is an elegant and luxurious material, products from it are always distinguished by exceptional aristocracy and are always highly valued.
At the same time, porcelain requires a rather careful attitude, like a married couple who lived side by side for twenty years. If a husband and wife cease to be helpful and attentive to each other and do not surround their partner with love and care, then a family union will certainly crack or even crack at all, like fragile porcelain figurines.
By the 20th day from the day of the wedding, it was always customary to traditionally present services. There is a belief that for a couple of decades all the dishes presented to young people at a wedding have already broken, of course, for good luck, and it is time to update it. This, by the way, is another version explaining the origin of the name of this anniversary.
On such a day, it is customary to arrange a celebration, preferably on a grand scale, to invite all relatives and friends and be sure to accept gifts from them.It is advisable to serve the table with a china set or other decor items made of the same material. It is believed that in this case, porcelain will bring harmony to the relationship, which will pass with the couple more than a dozen years.
What do spouses give?
The couple who spent 20 years together must definitely congratulate each other, because these people, who are completely immersed in solving everyday problems, so need new and vivid emotions that can remind them that in the first place they are driven by love for each other, and not only the need to solve joint problems and issues, especially since for the many years that the couple lived together, they well studied all the features of the character of their companion, learned about his hobbies and interests.
To her husband
On this day, it is better for the wife to give a gift that will fully correspond to his hobby. It can be accessories for fishing, hunting and tourism, fashionable gadgets, game disks, a ticket for an iconic football match or items to replenish the collection if the spouse collects something.
Surely a man will come in handy and power tools: a drill, a jigsaw, a grinder - all this is appreciated by men, and in the house it will certainly come in handy.
For a person with a high social position, it is worth looking at expensive accessories: a ring, leather bags or a stylish tie.
Engagement on a wedding ring will be a very good idea on this day.
If a man smokes, then he can be presented with a porcelain ashtray.
There are a lot of options for a gift to a man, the main thing is that this gift should be made from the bottom of my heart and serve as a reminder of such a momentous event as the twentieth anniversary of life together.
Wife
But to please his wife is not difficult. Surely there is no such woman who will remain indifferent to expensive jewelry. It can be an engraved ring, a pendant or new earrings. However, you can buy as a presentation and not so expensive, but exclusive handmade jewelry that a woman can wear for work, leisure, and going out. Try to beautifully arrange a gift and certainly hand it along with a large bouquet of flowers.
Do not forget that women love to turn their home into a cozy family nest, so they will probably be pleased with porcelain interior figurines, floor vases, as well as jewelry storage boxes, a porcelain-shaped mirror or a small talisman.
However, you can not stop at symbolic products - your spouse will certainly be pleased with a certificate for visiting cosmetic salon procedures or buying new expensive wardrobe items.
How to congratulate parents?
Children on this day must certainly congratulate their parents. As a rule, they themselves are about to enter into an adult and independent life and begin to build their families, therefore they should take a strong and lasting marriage of parents as an example of how spouses should relate to each other throughout their lives.
A good gift is a table set - This is one of the most common presentations on the 20th anniversary of marriage. Parents will certainly appreciate it, especially if the family decided to arrange warm gatherings at the tea table with their many relatives.
A large vase with patterns will be appropriate - just do not forget to periodically give your mothers a beautiful bouquet so that they can take full advantage of your gift.
An original figurine is also suitable for a family with experience. Most often, products are purchased in the form of swans or a couple in love, you can even make a funny image of the spouses.
These gifts are considered the most common, which is why they are recommended by sellers of souvenir shops in the first place. But all these are pretty banal things - for sure for two decades the family has already acquired the necessary number of plates and cups, bought all the necessary interior decor items.
That is why it is worth thinking about an alternative gift option. For example, you can order exclusive dolls depicting the heroes of the occasion, or purchase a pair of kimonos for home wear. By the way, porcelain is of Japanese origin, so kimono has something to do with the symbolism of a porcelain wedding.
Be sure to take into account the interests of parents. So, if they are passionate about art, you can give them a ticket to the theater or pay for thematic courses and master classes. And for outdoor enthusiasts, accessories for tourism are suitable: backpacks, tents, barbecues. So that parents can distract from everyday routine and again experience keen emotions and strong feelings, it is worth considering the idea of giving a certificate for a parachute jump or flying in an aero tube. They will not be able to forget such a present for a very long time.
You can give your parents pajamas or T-shirts, but they must certainly be paired - made to order with funny inscriptions. In such clothes, your parents will be able to relax and travel.
And, of course, an animal can be a good gift. As a rule, at this moment in the life of parents a void forms: the children grow up and leave their home (someone marries or gets married, someone moves to another city to study or moves to a student dormitory). In order to somehow brighten up this loneliness for relatives, you can present them with an animal. Preferably not troublesome, for example, a cat, dog or bird. Of course, if one of the parents is allergic, then you should not buy such a gift.
If the children are not quite adults yet and do not have their own source of income, then you can make a tree of happiness with your own hands, in which instead of leaves there are pebbles for crafts, or a family tree that will not only decorate the interior, but also emphasize the strength of family ties. You can give your mom and dad a hand-painted picture or homemade souvenirs with commemorative inscriptions. Surely they will like the album with their family photos, decorated in the style of scrapbooking.
Children are always well aware of what their parents need. The name of the wedding does not force them to give exclusively porcelain at all - the souvenir can be absolutely anything, the main thing is that it be well packed and accompanied by the most sincere and sincere words of congratulations. All parents need simple attention from their older daughters and sons and their assurance of sincere love and gratitude.
