The spouses celebrate their ruby wedding after having lived together for forty years. It is well known that ruby is a bright red stone, which is second only to diamond in value. Its rich color is a symbol of the fact that the husband and wife carried their love through all the past years and became truly dear people. Considering that this anniversary is by no means an ordinary date, it is very important to know what can be given to spouses on such a momentous day.
Traditionally, all gifts for a ruby wedding are associated with red - the color of love and life. In this capacity, jewelry and interior items with rubies are perfect, but not everyone can afford such presents. An original solution will be bed linen in red or burgundy or with a pattern of scarlet flowers, a bedspread, a set of towels, tablecloths and napkins in the same color scheme. You can also give the "ruby newlyweds" a dinner or tea set with a beautiful pattern in red tones.
Of course, on such a day you cannot do without a bouquet of scarlet or burgundy flowers. Depending on the season and the preferences of the heroes of the day, these can be roses, dahlias, carnations, tulips or gladioli. Considering that the ruby wedding marks the fortieth anniversary of family life, a gorgeous gift will be a huge basket, which will contain exactly forty red flowers (or even better forty-one, so as not to embarrass those who believe in various superstitions and believe that bouquets from an even number flowers are not accepted). And if such a basket is tied with a scarlet bow, then the gift will sparkle with the brightest colors.
A very appropriate gift would be a bottle of good aged red wine or champagne. And if you wish, you can present forty bottles at once, one for each lived year. Also, a luxurious cake decorated with red berries, hearts and roses or delicious candies in a scarlet box is suitable as a gift.
But do not dwell only on the "ruby" theme, because for this anniversary of family life it is quite permissible to present a variety of gifts. Household appliances, various equipment, paintings, dishes and other necessary items will be excellent options for "ruby" gifts. And in order to preserve the feeling of the holiday, you can add a bouquet of red flowers, a red greeting card or even scarlet heart-shaped balloons to them.
The direct organization of the wedding anniversary will also be an excellent gift. Due to their age, the spouses who have lived for forty years in marriage may simply not have enough strength to hold a large-scale holiday, so help in this difficult matter will be the best gift. Only beforehand, you should discuss with the heroes of the day all the details of the upcoming celebration and try to take into account all their wishes to the maximum, and then shining, and as if forty years younger, looks and smiles will be the best gratitude for the presented gift.
