People have been married for exactly one year. In the people, such a date is referred to as a chintz wedding. And that means, as on any holiday, it is customary to give gifts on this day.
Traditional gifts for a gingham wedding
The calico wedding is so named for a reason. Chintz is a thin material, easily tears, and family life, in the first year it is just beginning and has not yet had time to get stronger. Husband and wife get used to each other, study the character and habits of their second halves, petty quarrels and misunderstandings are frequent.
Celebrating a chintz wedding in the future can become a good tradition. You can get together with your whole family every year.
As the name suggests, chintz gifts are given for the first family holiday. It is very symbolic if the husband gives his wife an embroidered chintz scarf or cape. Parents and friends can present the young couple with bed linen, a silk blanket, towels, tablecloths, embroidered handkerchiefs and other nice little things. Young spouses can even give each other chintz clothes: a dress for the wife, and for the husband, for example, a shirt.
Usually, in the first year of family life, a baby is expected to appear, so it is appropriate to donate a piece of chintz, as they say, “for diapers”.
Original non-standard gifts
Gifts for the first wedding anniversary do not have to be "chintz". Step away from customs and traditions, make an exclusive gift, perhaps with your own hands.
One of the spouses can make a collage, wedding photos or photos taken during your dates will do. At a festive dinner, you will remember the pleasant moments of your life, how you prepared for the wedding and that solemn day when you became husband and wife.
A great gift idea will be a joint photo session of a young family. Like any common activity, it will bring the spouses even closer, bring a little variety to life and, finally, simply entertain. It's great if a child has already appeared in the family, then he will also take part with his parents, and the shooting will become more fun and lively.
Surely, warm, kind memories will remain in memory of the first wedding anniversary.
As a gift, make a beautiful and original postcard with your own hands, decorated in a wedding theme. Such a card can be made in the shape of a heart, rings, flowers using all the same wedding photos. Use ribbons, ribbons, beads and rhinestones for decoration. In addition, you can give a couple a scrapbooking album.
Whatever gift you present to a married couple or to each other, the main thing is that it should be sincere, with love and from a pure heart.
