Wedding anniversaries: what wedding in what age, what to give

Calico wedding - 1 year together

A young family that has been officially married for one year is celebrating a chintz wedding. This date was named after a thin and fragile fabric called chintz. Such a comparison is quite justified, since during the first year the spouses are still just getting used to living together, getting used to it and getting used to it, the marriage has not yet been tested by time.

On the first anniversary, it is customary to give items made from chintz and cotton, such as shirts, tablecloths, towels or bed linen.

Present

What's a holiday without gifts?! Here is a small list of what spouses can give each other :

something from clothes and not necessarily from chintz, the main thing is necessary and tasteful. It could be a beautiful tie, shirt, dress, underwear, and so on;
a pendant or ring with an inscription in the form of a chintz wedding date, names, etc.;
a certificate for a joint date, for example, to a SPA salon, swimming pool, massage, playing tennis, bowling and much more;
wealthier spouses can please their significant other with a trip to a hot country or chic Europe;
You can make custom paired T-shirts with romantic prints or aprons. By the way, according to psychologists, cooking food together by a couple strengthens the relationship between lovers;
and a husband can always please his wife with a beautiful bouquet of flowers, and she will respond with a delicious candlelight dinner.

As for guests , it would be a good idea to ask the wishes of the spouses before the holiday, but if this is not possible, or you want to make a surprise, then you can choose something from textiles, for example, a blanket, a set of bed linen, decorative pillows, curtains, curtains, a tablecloth , towels, terry bathrobes. If you want to give a more expensive gift, then present it with equipment, it could be a multicooker, blender, air fryer, coffee machine, and so on.

Now you know all the nuances of a “chintz” wedding. We wish you a beautiful, memorable anniversary and more than one.

Paper wedding – 2 years together

The paper is very fragile, but at the same time it can bend and fold. These properties gave rise to the name of the second anniversary. During the time they lived together, the spouses learned to adapt to each other's needs, but marriage is still fragile.

The newlyweds' passion begins to fade and is replaced by regularity. At this stage of the relationship, the couple is most likely thinking about children. Spouses begin to lead a more active intimate life, and this only strengthens the marriage and love between husband and wife. A good gift for a husband or wife would be a book, a diary, a vacation package, or just money.

Traditions of a copper (wool) wedding

The number “seven” has long been endowed with magical properties: it brings good luck to the family in literally everything (FAMILY), so it is necessary to celebrate a wool (copper) wedding.

On this day, husband and wife should be dressed to the maximum "ringing" clothes. To do this, the man put on a belt decorated with a copper plaque and hung various types of bladed weapons.
The woman sewed as many copper coins as possible onto her outfit: when moving, they created the necessary ringing. Children were also hung with various “bells”: pendants, beads, bracelets. It was believed that in this way the family attracted wealth, happiness, and longevity to their home.

Also, the celebration of 7 wedding years is distinguished by another custom: to make the family’s life well-fed and joyful, small coppers (coins) were laid out throughout the house They were placed in corners, in closets, under furniture, on windows, etc.
Anniversary must be celebrated noisy and fun in a large circle of friends, relatives and acquaintances (wedding witnesses, colleagues, relatives, neighbors, acquaintances). It is advisable that the invited men and women do not have a second half.
There is a belief that single people who bring congratulations to their spouses on their 7th wedding anniversary will definitely meet their destiny soon after and be happy in their future marriage.
The husband and wife must exchange copper coins, thus cementing their union even stronger. The exchange of souvenirs can take place under mutual vows of love and fidelity.
The day before, the spouses should bring together your home in order: do general cleaning, throw away old, unnecessary things. If there is something broken, the man must repair it or throw it away.
Dirt and clutter are sources of negative energy that negatively affect couple relationships and attract evil people into the house.
The same ritual must be carried out with mutual grievances - the couple must have a heart-to-heart talk and forgive each other all their sins, so as not to drag them into the next year of marriage.

Leather wedding – 3 years after marriage

The couple will celebrate a leather wedding, why the name? Leather is a fairly dense material, and so is a family celebrating its third anniversary. The husband and wife already know each other quite well, they are used to living together, sharing everyday life and conducting household chores. It is very difficult to destroy such a family.

The newlyweds became true friends and helpers for each other . Often by this date the first child is already born in the family. This further strengthens the union and binds the spouses. For three years of family life, you can give something made of leather, for example, a jacket or boots. A leather wallet or briefcase would be a good gift.

The 10th anniversary is the most pleasant, pink one for women! We shower the spouse with rose petals and give luxurious bouquets.

According to ancient tradition

A young couple was given chintz for diapers on their first holiday, because by this time their first child was already born. This is one of the versions of the origin of the name of the first anniversary. Another relates to the fact that the newlyweds still have little bed linen and other home textiles and therefore they are given a piece of chintz. Some people compare the relationship with this fabric, variegated, bright, but not too durable. Certain sources mention the name cotton or gauze jubilee. Newlyweds in the first year of marriage are so active in bed that their actions wipe the linen down to the state of gauze.

It is customary to celebrate the first year of family life in a grand manner. Restaurant, house, cottage, location is not too important. The main thing is abundance on the table, because, according to the sign, a rich table on this day will mean a rich future life. On a note. On this day, it is customary to open the champagne from the wedding, which was left as a symbol of the anniversary.

When was the tradition of embroidering a chintz tablecloth popular? But now it is outdated. However, you need to use more fabric to decorate your celebration space. A chintz fabric tied in a knot is one of the main symbols of a strong marriage. It must be placed in a visible place. The wife's outfit on this day should be made of chintz, and the husband needs to choose a chintz or cotton shirt. It’s good if guests also dress up in clothes made of light fabric. You can think of chintz handkerchiefs as an accessory for all guests, some on the head, some on the shoulders, some in the front pocket.

Eleventh anniversary, steel

We have smoothly approached the eleventh anniversary of our married life - the Steel Wedding. Do you feel how your union has become stronger over the years? This is especially noticeable after the ten-year mark has passed. The name “Steel” speaks for itself.

Steel is beautiful, especially after polishing, when all its edges shine brighter than the sun. Steel is hard and strong, reliable. You shine with mutual understanding and love polished to a shine.

It is traditional to renovate the home before the eleventh anniversary, replacing old furniture and polishing everything in the house until it shines. On the day of the celebration, the couple got up before dark and hurried to swim in order to wash away the negativity of past years.

Relatives and friends are invited to the festive feast, without a large number of friends. The most brilliant kitchen utensils are displayed on the table. Crystal, silver and cupronickel are appropriate.

On a note! A bouquet of eleven flowers will decorate the table. According to legend, if the bouquet stands for eleven days, peace and prosperity will reign in the family.

Gifts for the holiday can be anything, the main thing is brilliant. From a sequined dress to a noble cigarette case. Spouses can exchange prepared steel rings with valuable engravings. Your future life is only in your hands! The new decade welcomes you into its arms!

Twelfth Anniversary, Nickel (silk)

Twelve years of marriage is a serious period, and not everyone can live through it. The anniversary of this event is called the Nickel or Silk wedding. Some sources mention another name - Pearl.

What is special about this date and how is it intertwined with the name? Over the years they lived together, the couple were able not only to strengthen their relationship, but also to build a well-established life. Preserve the former tenderness for each other, give nobility and charm to feelings, stability and strength to wealth.

All this, allegorically, can be compared to nickel, silk and pearls. Nickel is a metal valued along with gold and silver; silk is still considered a very expensive material, and as for pearls, they are valued and adored all over the world. Strength, shine and stability are the foundation of your family.

On a note! From the morning until the ceremonial feast, the spouses should visit several of their favorite places. A meeting place, for example, a church where a wedding took place, a maternity hospital. You can celebrate with friends, family or alone. It is recommended to prepare wedding snacks that are leaner, giving preference to vegetables and fruits.

During the celebration, it’s a good idea to hold a comic re-marriage ceremony. This will refresh your senses and return you to your youth for a moment.

You can give the hero of the occasion appropriate items: items made of silk, pearls and nickel. Fortunately, now their choice is huge. Do not skimp on praise to the owners of the house. They will bloom right before your eyes, and the holiday will go well.

13th anniversary – lace, lily of the valley

How to celebrate your first anniversary

An important family holiday is approaching, but you don’t know how to celebrate your first wedding anniversary? We offer you several options.

Repeat the wedding day. Yes Yes. To celebrate the first year of the family, you can again put on a wedding dress and conduct a stylized photo shoot. Moreover, the further buffet is at your discretion.
Romantic dinner alone. You can celebrate your first important family date in a restaurant or have a romantic dinner on the roof of your house, inviting a violinist and a waiter. Or you can even go on a short trip in a hot air balloon!
A cafe or restaurant where all your friends and relatives with whom you want to share your joy will gather. The most standard option, but with an original approach to the design of the hall and an interesting entertainment program, the holiday risks being remembered for a long time.
Picnic in nature. While guests are thinking about what to give for their wedding year, we advise you to think about a holiday in nature. Especially if the anniversary falls during the warm season. What kind of “wedding” would there be without interesting games, jokes and delicious snacks? For outdoor entertainment, active games will come in handy: badminton, huge chess or tic-tac-toe, sack jumping, tug of war. Girls will certainly appreciate the “rubber bands” from childhood. The main thing is to warn guests about the appropriate appearance. The place of celebration can be a dacha, a river/lake bank, a park, a rented cottage or an estate.

What to wear to celebrate your anniversary

Traditionally, on this day, newlyweds wear light outfits: a cotton shirt for the husband, a dress or sundress for the wife. Guests (especially young people) dress up in colorful summer dresses and shirts.

You can take care in advance and “cover” all guests with handkerchiefs. Everyone decides for himself where he will place it: on the arm, on the head, on the neck... Depending on the scenario for the special event, you need to choose the appropriate outfit.

For example:

1. It has become popular to celebrate a chintz wedding in “country” style. The outfit will be selected according to the stated theme. The husband is dressed as a cowboy, the wife is in the appropriate outfit of a farmer (long skirt, jacket, apron).

On the eve of the holiday, guests are informed of the thematic direction of the chintz wedding. Everyone prepares their own outfit. With this approach, at the moment of celebration, it is necessary to award awards for costumes and efforts.

2. Russian-folk theme. Everything is clear here. The husband is a prince, the wife is a princess. Royal outfits. You can leave the peasant version.

He wears a wide shirt, harem pants, and a woven belt. For her - an embroidered shirt, a sundress, an apron, a belt. There is a scarf on the head. He has a cap with a flower.

3. Theme - dudes. The wife is wearing a light pea-colored dress (the skirt is a cliché). He has a 60s style shirt in the same color scheme as his wife. On the head - a bouffant, bright lipstick (my wife's).

4. Theme - robbers. The destination is popular among active young couples who love risks and the production of adrenaline. Let's look at the costumes from the cartoons "The Town Musicians of Bremen".

The wife is dressed in a cotton tunic and trousers (leggings are also possible). There are beads around the neck and the hair is gathered in a bun. There is a money bag on the side. Husband - white shirt, black pants, light boots, wide belt made of soft material.

5. Gypsy camp. Dresses like gypsies. She has a jacket with wide sleeves, a floor-length skirt, beads on her chest, and a scarf on her head. He is a red shirt, belt, pants.

Guests dress up in their own way. With such outfits, gypsy songs and dances are a must! And of course, gypsy theft... (meaning a wife or husband, maybe a horse)

Decorations for a chintz wedding

Any holiday requires decorations and accessories. A chintz wedding, like a paper wedding, is still “young”, which means avoid being too pretentious. It is better to decorate the year of marriage in a light, playful style, which will only emphasize the young age of the family. For decoration you will need: textiles (chintz, silk, chiffon), lace, fabric souvenirs, colorful scarves, bows of different sizes, flags, toys and souvenirs made with your own hands (at the end of the evening they can be presented to guests), figurines of doves, balloons, candles, flowers.

We suggest paying special attention to the tablecloth. Take a simple tablecloth or a piece of calico/chintz and decorate it with lace, buttons, and beads. Turn on your imagination! The main thing is that the result will be truly original and unique! And an embroidered tablecloth will become a pleasant memory of the family’s first birthday.

What should you treat your guests to?

As a rule, complex and sophisticated dishes are not prepared for a chintz wedding. This fate befalls those who celebrate many years of marriage. But how many treats to prepare depends solely on the number of guests and their appetite. So, what should you treat your family with: fruits, vegetable salads, sandwiches and canapés, light snacks, stuffed pies. If desired, you can cook shish kebab and grilled sausages.

Decide on alcohol in advance. On this day, it is better to keep alcohol to a minimum. Active games and interesting competitions will help in this matter.

And, of course, a wedding anniversary requires a matching cake! It could be simply the number 1, symbolizing the year of marriage, or a dessert with figures of lovers. You should also choose a light filling, such as yogurt.

Eighteenth wedding anniversary

Eighteen years of family life is a period of growing up, coming of age, family.

The date is important in the sense of the formation and formation of family values. The children have grown up noticeably and are preparing to leave their father’s house and fly out of the nest. Spouses have a great opportunity to focus on themselves.

Turquoise is a semi-precious stone. Since ancient times, various amulets, amulets and jewelry have been made from it, designed to protect the owner from evil spirits and protect them from harm. This stone can bring peace and tranquility to your home and give you a happy life.

Turquoise, over time, can change its color from emerald blue to green, and become brighter or darker. Likewise, in a family there are periods of prosperity and periods of decline, joy or sorrow.

Present

On the occasion of the celebration, the husband and wife wore outfits in blue and green colors. They decorated the house with satin ribbons and presented each other with gifts with turquoise stones.

According to tradition, the spouses themselves order gifts from family and friends for this day. A special list of eighteen wishes is written and guests are obliged to make them come true.

Attention! You should not give money as a gift on your 18th anniversary. It is believed that on this day the spirits may be offended for not fulfilling the wishes of the spouses and take revenge. Therefore, there is no need to provoke spirits with banknotes. But how the spirits will react to a bank card as a gift, there is no interpretation yet!

Festive table

The festive table was covered with whatever the heart desired. From meat to vegetable dishes, all kinds of salads and desserts. At the feast itself, the guests asked to tell everyone about the first acquaintance of the spouses. It is very interesting these days to listen to these stories and compare the versions of the husband and wife. There are quite a few funny moments and everyone will have a lot of fun.

What to give your spouse

According to traditions, in order for family relationships to remain strong, the wife had to make a gift for her husband with her own hands. Some couples keep this tradition alive. If you don’t want to limit yourself to just one handwritten gift, you can choose from the following options:

It shouldn’t be ruled out that if there is wealth in the family, you can give chintz panties with a pocket for bills;
a chintz shirt, which can either be sewn or purchased to order in a good store;
business jacket for entrepreneurs or careerists;
T-shirts with funny slogans;
a bottle of wine or quality cognac. If the husband does not drink, it is better not to give such a gift;
wallet with money inside. Giving empty wallets means ruin;
ties with unusual colors;
lunch box. The gift will be useful especially for big bosses and office workers;
You can record a song of your own performance if you have vocal inclinations.

You should not exclude the value of a gift based on the interests of your spouse, no matter how non-standard they may be. Still, at a chintz wedding it is necessary to give those gifts that will be useful for later life. You can take an unconventional approach to the issue by presenting your husband with a booked hotel room or a visit to an unusual themed club. The main thing is that such a gift does not become a reason for discord due to the behavior of the spouse in clubs of a similar nature.

What to give your wife for a chintz wedding

You should not give girls overly practical gifts like frying pans on such a date. The lady may be at least offended, regarding this approach as inattention to her own person and lack of importance of the relationship. It is also better not to pay off with money, showing indifference. Ladies are sensitive to this approach and offense can follow immediately. In order to maintain the strength of relationships, it is important to approach the issue of choosing a gift more carefully and take into account the following possible options:

It's no secret that most women are sensitive to the state of their wardrobe. Therefore, a certificate for an impressive amount to your wife’s favorite store would not be amiss. If a man is confident in his knowledge of taste, he can independently choose the thing that his woman needs. Also remembering that within 14 days you can return an item to any store and exchange it if it does not fit the size or other criteria;
intimate lingerie, but if a lady is too sensitive to this issue and prefers to choose the details herself, it is better to abandon the idea. Otherwise, she may perceive the gift as a lack of her sexuality;
a beautiful cotton nightgown, especially if you are planning an evening together;
box for cosmetics or jewelry storage;
a trip to a place that a girl has long dreamed of. Preferably joint;
a box of sweets in her favorite format;
a set of tea or coffee according to the wife’s preferences.

You can also choose a certificate for a desired photo shoot or course as a gift. Education will never be superfluous, even in the form of a gift.

1. The most popular gifts for this anniversary are bed linen, blankets, bedspreads, pillows, blankets, curtains, curtains, tablecloths.

What is not recommended to give?

It is worth remembering that modern couples do not always strive to have children in the first year of life. Therefore, if you donate paraphernalia for a child without consulting them, you can ruin friendly relations.

The gift would be appropriate only if there is a small family member. Children's clothing should be chosen carefully; most young mothers prefer to solve this issue on their own. If the guest is not a close friend of the young family, a neutral gift would be the best choice.

Only members of the immediate circle have the right to give gifts of an intimate nature, since they know best about the tastes of the spouses. Certificates for extreme sports may also not be the best, albeit original, idea. Animals should also not be given as gifts without the couple’s knowledge.

Even if it is obvious that there is an item that the couple lacks in the household, if you are not their close friend, you should not make the purchase yourself. Before taking this step, you should discuss the need with friends or relatives. it happens that someone has already decided to present them with an item. You should also discuss together the possibility of a large gift in the form of equipment, and not make decisions alone.

In order for the 1st wedding anniversary date to go smoothly, it is important to choose the right gift and organize the event correctly. Options such as T-shirts, towels, tablecloths, potholders and other small household utensils can serve as a present. It is worth remembering that in the first year of marriage, it is not so much the value of the gift that is important, as the very attention of the couple to each other and the environment towards them.

25th anniversary - silver wedding

The first “precious” anniversary of marriage, which is preceded by a series of less euphonious “metal” dates: cast iron, copper, tin, steel and, finally, bronze.

It was not for nothing that silver was chosen as a symbol of the quarter-century anniversary of family life. It personifies the strength and durability of the relationship between spouses. For this date, it is customary to order special silver rings to match the wedding rings. Young people wear them on their middle finger next to their wedding ring for at least the next year.

Needless to say, the gifts and scale of the celebration, compared to previous anniversaries, are becoming more and more thorough. Gifts:

silverware;
cutlery;
interior items;
figurines made of this noble metal.

Decor

Use white and silver as the main colors, but to prevent the decoration from looking too pale, add a few bright accents, for example, noble purple, fresh green.

The tablecloth can be made in two layers: lay silver organza on top of a denser material (white or contrasting color). Decorate the backs of chairs with small bright bouquets.

Music for the holiday

Perhaps then, 25 years ago, for some reason there was no live music at your wedding. It's time to correct this omission: invite a catchy cover band to the party! Agree on the musical accompaniment with the group in advance and include tunes that were played on your wedding day. Give this luxurious gift to yourself and your guests, because nothing brings back memories like music. And don't forget to repeat the wedding dance!
