Wood, gold and platinum weddings are important milestones in the life of a family. Choosing gifts for heroes of the day is not an easy task, especially if you want to observe all the traditions and customs of the celebration.
Wooden wedding. The first anniversary of the family
The five-year anniversary of the family is usually called a wooden wedding. It is the first solid material to give a name to a wedding anniversary. This means that the family has already passed a certain joint path and the relationship has strengthened. Usually, by this time, the spouses already have their own housing, a child has appeared, and even, perhaps, more than one. The basis of the family, like the trunk of a five-year tree, is strong and reliable.
Celebrating the five-year anniversary is a great occasion to take stock of the first results of life together. The roughness of the first years of life has already been smoothed out, the spouses have learned to go hand in hand towards achieving common goals.
Relatives, relatives and friends are invited to celebrate this anniversary. It is a wonderful tradition to decorate the "tree of happiness" with congratulations. It can be a tree in the garden of a young family, or a houseplant in an apartment. Guests write congratulations on ribbons and tie them to a tree. This custom can become a decoration of the festive program and will be remembered by everyone present for a long time.
When choosing a gift, they give preference to wooden items. If this is a gift for your significant other, you can choose a jewelry box or jewelry, a smoking pipe or an ashtray. Guests can present a wooden candlestick, a figurine, kitchen utensils that will always come in handy on the farm - decorative cutting boards, dishes. The main thing is that the gift would be a decoration and bring comfort and warmth to the house.
Fiftieth Anniversary - Golden Wedding
For the whole family of heroes of the day, the golden wedding is an event of great importance. The spouses have gone a long way in life and carried through the years love, understanding and desire to be together. And it is no coincidence that this date was called golden, because gold is a symbol of beauty, strength, and, at the same time, softness. It resists corrosion and is a symbol of a strong, "stainless" relationship.
Celebrate this anniversary with the family, which by this time consists of grandchildren and great-grandchildren, children and old, trusted friends.
On this day, like fifty years ago, it is customary to shower a couple with coins, grain, and rice. This "rain" symbolizes wishes for longevity, well-being and happiness.
The wedding dance of young people in the circle of guests has also become traditional, and the ceremony of exchanging new gold wedding rings given by children. Old rings, which have served for fifty years, are preserved as a family heirloom.
A gift for a gold wedding can be gold jewelry and souvenirs. A family portrait in a gilded frame is also a wonderful gift. Things that can make the life of heroes of the day more comfortable and cozy - blankets, rocking chairs, household appliances - are also appropriate. You can beat the number "50", and give something related to it.
Platinum Wedding - 60th Anniversary Place
Platinum is a rare, expensive and durable metal. The properties of platinum very accurately convey the state of the couple's relationship. The spouses managed to live a long life together, and in grief and joy become a support for each other. And now children and grandchildren will honor the heroes of the day and say gratitude to them.
When organizing a holiday, it is necessary to take into account the age of the spouses. Noisy loud music and fiery contests can tire them out. Therefore it is necessary to think over the musical accompaniment. The festive table menu is also important. You can order a large wedding cake with figures of the bride and groom.
By tradition, gifts with platinum and diamonds are given, but attention is the best gift for 80-year-olds.
