Wedding anniversaries are an ideal opportunity for married couples to celebrate their love for one another and remember why they decided to marry in the first place. Historians have traced the origins of silver and golden anniversaries to medieval Germanic Europe, where silver and gold garlands were presented by the husband to the wife to celebrate the 25th and 50th years of marriage respectively.

Prior to 1937 only the first and major milestone anniversaries had materials associated with them. In 1937 the American National Retail Jewellery Association issued a more comprehensive list of representative materials for all the traditional wedding anniversaries for each year up to the 15th Anniversary and then every fifth year after that up to the 60th. This list has been continually updated by various commercial companies over recent years and today celebrants can choose between the traditional list as well as a contemporary list of anniversary themes (which provides alternative modern-day suggestions such as electrical appliances!)

Traditionally, gifts exchanged or given in the early years of marriage were practical household items to aid the couple in starting a new home together (an extension of the wedding gift).

Luxury gifts tend to be given in the later years when the couple has already acquired things they need. The more cynical-minded might see the increase in gift value over time as an incentive to stay married!

The following section outlines the main wedding anniversaries, associated themes and provides some useful gift suggestions.

1st Wedding Anniversary – Paper

Traditionally the theme is paper which is supposed to symbolize the strength obtained from the interlocking fibres. The modern take on this is a clock for reasons to do with timeless, eternal love. The precious metals/gemstones associated with the first wedding anniversary are gold jewellery, pearls or peridot. The associated colour is gold or yellow and the relevant flower is the orange blossom or pansy.

Gift ideas include a photo album, commemorative newspaper, wedding day chart, personalised poem, share certificate, movie/concert ticket, photograph by a professional photographer, subscription to a favourite magazine; have a star named after a loved one or a clock.

2nd wedding anniversary – Cotton

Traditionally cotton gifts are given because cotton has always been associated with prosperity and durability. The modern gift theme is china. The relevant gemstone is Garnet, and the associated colour is red. If you are going to give flowers then the go for Cosmos (which means modesty).

Gift ideas relevant to the cotton theme include a (personalised) bathrobe, towel or tee shirt, and for china how about a (personalised) trinket box, mug or anniversary plate.

3rd Wedding Anniversary – Leather

Traditionally leather gifts are given based on the durability of this material being analogous to the durability of your marriage! The contemporary theme is crystal or glass (not so durable!)

If you are going to give your partner jewellery then opt for pearl or jade. The relevant colour theme is white or green, and associated flower is the Fuchsia (which means taste).

Gift ideas for the third wedding anniversary include leather wallet, handbag or briefcase, leather bound book, engraved vase, perfume bottle, wine or champagne glasses, engraved glass tokens or perhaps an engraved decanter.

4th Wedding Anniversary – Fruit/Flowers

Traditionally fruit or flowers are meant to symbolize a blossoming and fruitful relationship. Less romantic modern, albeit practical thinking, suggests giving electrical appliances!

The relevant gemstone is Blue Topaz with the colour theme is blue or green. If you’re planning to give flowers then the suggested bloom is the geranium (which incidentally means folly or stupidity!)

Some gift suggestions for a fourth wedding anniversary are cut flowers, a basket of fruit, and engraved glass flower token, rose bush, or shares in Apple Corp.

5th Wedding Anniversary – Wood

Traditionally the theme of the fifth wedding anniversary is wood which symbolizes a strong and long lasting marriage. The modern gift theme is silverware. The relevant gemstone is sapphire and the appropriate colour theme is blue, pink and turquoise. The flower you are supposed to give is the daisy which represents innocence and love.

Suggested gift ideas include planting a tree, a personalised jigsaw, personalised wine box, wooden commemorative plaque, photo personalised coasters or placemats

10th Wedding Anniversary – Tin/Aluminium

Traditional materials are tin or aluminium symbolizing the flexibility and malleability of a good relationship. The contemporary theme and gemstone is diamond. The relevant colour is silver or blue and the appropriate flower is the daffodil (trumpet-shaped daffodils represent joy, cheerfulness, and happiness).

Gift ideas include – personalised number plate, engraved brushed aluminium frame or a personalised teddy in a tin.

15th Wedding Anniversary – Crystal

Traditional gift material is crystal and the contemporary theme is watches. The relevant gemstone is ruby. Gift ideas include engraved crystal tankards, champagne flute and wine glasses. Appropriate colour theme is ruby red. If flowers are to be given Roses are the appropriate choice.

20th Wedding Anniversary – China

The traditional theme is china and the modern theme is platinum with the gemstone being emerald. Recommended gift ideas include personalised anniversary plate, personalised trinket box or dinner service. Relevant colour theme is emerald green or white and flowers are Lillies.

25th Wedding Anniversary – Silver

Silver gifts are given to celebrate this important milestone wedding anniversary. The appropriate flower is the Iris. Suggestions for gifts include a silver anniversary candle, engraved silver picture frame or silver plated champagne flutes.

30th Wedding Anniversary – Pearl

The traditional material associated with this one is pearls and the relevant flower is the Sweet Pea with a green colour scheme. Ideal gifts include a pearl necklace or engraved mother of pearl trinket box.

40th Wedding Anniversary – Ruby

Ruby is the theme for this wedding anniversary and the appropriate flower is the nasturtium. Gift ideas include ruby jewellery or a bottle of port.

50th Wedding Anniversary – Gold

One of the big ones! Gold is the order of the day and the relevant flower is violet. Gift ideas include any gold jewellery or perhaps a gold hearts wedding anniversary album.

60th Wedding Anniversary – Diamond

Now it starts to get really expensive – Diamonds! This is the first of two diamond anniversaries, the other being 75 years.

75th Wedding Anniversary

The 75th anniversary is the original traditional diamond anniversary with the 60th being added when Queen Victoria celebrated her Diamond Jubilee on her 60th anniversary of accession to the throne in 1897.

Anniversary Celebration Etiquette

In the early years (say less than 15) the anniversary celebrations normally only involve the couple themselves, and often include an overnight trip or ‘second honeymoon’. However, in the later years, any children they might have may decide to organize the anniversary celebration for their parents. For milestone anniversaries a party is usually the order of the day. It is not recommended to throw a surprise party for a couple on their anniversary, because not all couples will appreciate the gesture; it is always better to discuss any plans with the couple prior to the event, especially as they may already have plans of their own.

Invitations to an anniversary party should be sent out at least four weeks in advance of the celebration. An invitation does not imply the need for a gift. Indeed many couples are uncomfortable about receiving gifts and often request that no gifts are given by the guests at their anniversary, perhaps they feel they don’t really need anything or they may not want their guests to feel obliged. It is important that you try and respect their choice, but if you insist on giving a gift, it is advisable to do so after the event so as not to embarrass the hosts or the other guests who did not bring a gift.

Generally it is not deemed good etiquette to ask for a monetary gift although asking for a small contribution towards a commemorative gift such as a tree or sundial is a nice way of getting around this.

If traditional gifts are given it is normal for the couple to open them later rather than during the celebration, although again this is down to personal choice. Personalised gifts make great anniversary gift ideas as the personal touch makes the present much more meaningful. If a personalised gift is to be given it is often more usual to include the number of years married plus the couples’ names rather than the date of marriage.

The seating of guests at an anniversary party is really down to personal taste although traditionally the oldest son sits beside his mother and the eldest daughter beside her father with the best man or maid of honor from the couple’s wedding day and with their respective spouses also seated at the main table.

Typically a short speech of some type is expected even at a very informal affair. Often one of the children says a few complimentary words about their parents and this is followed by a response by one or both members of the couple in order to thanks the organizers etc.

Above all, any wedding anniversary celebration is a celebration of a couple’s love for one another and can be as large or small, formal or informal and private or shared as you want it to be.

– This video showcases a squidoo lens with tons of great information for brides-to-be and her wedding party! (Articles from Bridal Elements)…

Over the next twelve months, roughly 2.4 million Americans will spend 70 billion dollars (US) getting married. Green and socially responsible weddings can have a huge impact for the better on local economies and ecologies. Here are ten ways to express your commitment to the interconnectedness of life on earth during your wedding day.

1. Eco Engagement Rings and Eco Wedding Rings

It can take up to twenty tons of rock to produce a single wedding ring, yet there is more than enough gold available now for the entire jewelry industry. Some jewelers offer rings that are made from recycled gold. The ethical jeweler who has committed to using recycled gold will more than likely have a selection of conflict free diamonds or other gemstones that are responsibly sourced. Start your search locally, but realize that ethical wedding rings have not reached the mainstream yet and may be difficult to find.

Here are several online ethical jewelers, arranged by price range, for your consideration:

low-mid price range

high price range

Here is a guide to buying green wedding rings.

http://www.articles-collections.com/culture-and-society/consumer/ten-tips-to-purchasing-green-ethically-sourced-wedding-rings-online.html

2. Greening Your Guests

Consider reducing the numbers of people who have to travel for your wedding. This is NOT easy, but then again neither is a commitment to the earth, much less to your spouse-to-be. If you decide to have a larger wedding with many guests coming in from out of town, consider donating some money to an organization that offsets the carbon imprint of the travel.

Here is a wedding carbon dioxide offset calculator:

Here are some US companies that offset carbon emissions:

TerraPass

Native Energy

http://www.nativeenergy.com/

MyClimate

http://www.myclimate.org/index.php?lang=en

3. Greening Your Invitations

Another reason that reducing your number of guests is significant is that you will also reduce the amount of paper required for printing. There are often save the date announcements, actual invitations, wedding handouts for each guest and then all the thank you letters. Be sure you’re using recycled paper or – if you can – use email as much as possible.

Here are some great sources for recycled paper:

Invite Site – Eco Invites

http://www.invitesite.com/

Green Field Paper – non-tree paper, 100% recycled paper

http://www.greenfieldpaper.com/

4. Your Green Venue

The marriage should take place somewhere that is beautiful, inspirational and resonant with your green values. Look locally for meeting houses, farms, retreat centers, community gardens, parks or a building that supports a cause you believe in. Further, make the location central to the majority of your guests. If possible, consider having two ceremonies if you have large groups of guests at opposite ends of the country.

If you choose an indoor location, talk with the building managers about the energy efficiency of their facilities. If they are working to meet LEED standards for high-efficency buildings then you’re in good shape. Ideally the place will have outdoor and indoor space, allowing for different weather contingencies. Try to choose your venue as far in advance as possible; the best places book up quickly.

5. Your Food and Drink

A wedding is – for the majority of the attendants – a great big party. Buy organic food that is, if possible, locally grown. There are now excellent organic, and often locally produced, wines and beers. Food can be one of the most expensive parts of a wedding, but this is part of your gifting to the community that witnesses your vows. If you can’t afford an entirely organic menu, then consider going with organic meat, or choose a vegetarian option. Another idea is to ask friends to help prepare the feast.

6. Green Wedding Clothing

To purchase dress that will only be worn on one occasion for the wedding ceremony does not make a lot of sense. Purchase clothing that you will enjoy wearing on special occasions after the wedding. Organic fabrics are still limited, but you can choose to purchase clothing that is not made in a sweat shop. You can also rent your outfit or buy something that was worn by someone else once or twice.

7. Gifting And Being Gifted

The experience of gifting and being gifted is an integral part of any wedding ceremony. You can decide to make your party favors environmentally responsible products. Look for locally made regional products that visitors from out of town might appreciate. People want to gift the bride and groom. Everyone wants their gift to be appreciated. So it is best to open a Green Gift Registry. Those who feel as if they have everything they need may want to ask that, instead of gifts, money be donated to a particular environmental organization.

8. Dishes, Recycling and Redistributing

It is more environmentally sound to rent your dishes and glasses instead of simply using disposable paper products. Ask your caterer to use earth friendly soaps when cleaning up. Also, make sure that you have bins for recycling all aluminum and glass products. Look in advance for a food depot or soup kitchen that can take the left over food and distribute it.

Second Harvest: Donate Perishable/Preparred Food

http://www.secondharvest.org/how_to_help/donate_food/perishable_food.html

9. Support Your Local Economy

Purchase locally from small businesses whenever possible. Buy local and organic flowers, which reduces transportation and pesticide impact on the environment. Or consider growing your own! Hire a local band or DJ who does not have to travel far to your venue.

10. Your Green Vows

This is the most important part of your wedding ceremony and it needs to be deeply considered. Spend some months and meditate on what is in your heart and what you can commit to. Write it out. Talk to friends who have been married a while. Include life affirming commitment to living in balance with the ecology. I was married by an Apache Medicine Woman, and she had us publicly state what my wife and I brought to the marriage-our good qualities and our flaws. For my wife and I, this exercise in front of our friends and family was a powerful expression of our humanity. Your vows are also your opportunity to spread the idea of eco-friendly values to your guests.

11. A Green Honeymoon

You will want to go to a place in nature that can restore and inspire you. Many people are familiar with ecotourism, yet know nothing about geotourism. The Geotourists has opportunities to improve the places that they visit and have meaningful experiences of local culture.

Here are some links to sites that offer green honeymoon opportunities:

All of us want to buy the best for our special wedding day and reception ranging from the best gown to the best food to the best possible wedding party favors. However, most of us are not lucky enough to have an unlimited amount of money to spend on our weddings and a budget has to be considered when planning a wedding.

Executing a good wedding with a limited budget always requires a lot of enterprise and planning, be it asking for a discount from your designer or getting a special deal from your caterer in order to get more for less. Wedding party favors are no exception to the rule, and you will only be able to provide favors that are cheap without looking it only after you spend some time and effort in planning your favors.

A smart bride can get away with giving away wedding party favors that look classy and cute for the same budget that a dumber bride will spend on getting tacky and cheap favors; the key here is to plan well in advance and determine your budget. When planning your wedding, list out all your expenses ranging from the wedding dress to the caterers and decorator’s fee in order to get the amount that is left for wedding favors. If you do not have an idea about how much everything will cost, then setting a budget of one to two dollars per guest for wedding party favors should be able to provide for gifts that look good without being expensive.

You can be the smart bride who manages to give classy wedding party favors without over exceeding your budget by considering the options given below:

Personalized Chocolates And Candies:  Giving out chocolate with custom printed wrappers is not just costly, it is also passé. Instead of getting your names printed on chocolate wrappers, buy small sized candy and chocolate like Kisses or MnMs in bulk and wrap them up nicely in cute looking gift packs. Use either gold or silver tulle, ribbons and wrapping paper for a classic wedding or use colors from the wedding theme to wrap up your chocolates in style. Creating these self wrapped chocolate wedding party favors will cost you somewhere around $1 including the packing, but your guests will still love them as much as professionally packed costly chocolate selections.

Plants and Flowers:  A potted plant or herb has no monetary value attached to it because it can last for years and years if it is taken care of. You can buy potted flowering plants or herbs like lavender, rosemary and sage etcetera for less than two dollars each from your local nursery or plant wholesaler. If the pots are not good looking enough, wrap them up in foil or tulle or hand paint them in colors from the wedding theme. You can also stencil in a design or a quote with your names and the date of your wedding on the pots to give them a personal touch.

Candles:  Good quality candles, big or small always come across as being classy wedding party favors. The best part about these candles is that you can also use them as table centerpieces at your wedding reception. In order to get good candles for less, buy them wholesale. If they do not come with nice wrappers, then wrap them up yourself neatly in tulle and ribbon to make them look costlier than they actually are.

Keychains:  Personalized keychains with the names of the bride and groom and the date of the wedding embossed or printed on them not only make for useful wedding party favors, they are also economical to boot. You can buy keychains that suit the theme of your wedding, for example, buy autumn leaf designs if you have an autumn wedding and get them engraved with the details. If you buy and get these key chains printed in bulk, you will not only have a good looking wedding party favor for less; you will also be giving your guests something that is practical and useful.

DIY Wedding Party Favors:  These could include making anything that you are good at, ranging from handmade candles to home made cookies. Making things yourself with favor supplies not only ensures that your wedding party favors cost less, they also make them unique from everything else. If you are good in the kitchen then you can consider making home made jams and preserves and presenting them in nicely wrapped jars. Cookies and cakes wrapped in silver foil and tulle also make for tasty and classy wedding party favors.  

Theme Based Wedding Favors:  Wedding party favors that go well with your theme never look tacky. Instead they always seem well thought of and classy. You can buy nice theme based wedding party favors by jogging your mind a little. For e.g. if you are having a beach themed party, giving away small bags of sea shells or shell shaped chocolates always looks good. A fairy tale themed wedding can have small poly-stone prince and princess figurines as wedding party favors while potted plants and flowers are perfect for garden weddings.

Other ways in which you can save money on party favors is by giving away one wedding party favor per couple instead of giving favors per person. This would help you give out costlier items without looking cheap. Some gifts that you can give out to couples are potted plants like orchids and small board game sets etcetera. Just make sure that you also buy something equally good for your single guests.

Another thing that you should definitely do in order to get your wedding party favors cheap is to buy them only from wholesalers and at sales. If you already have your wedding planned six months ahead, then you might be able to find good sales at craft and gift stores. Otherwise, it is also a good idea to collect gift store coupons and then buy your wedding party favors in bulk at discounted rates.
