\"34036886815_7e5cb30777_zaaaaaaaaa\"<\/a>Wedding anniversaries are a wonderful thing. If you’re lucky, you’ll be celebrating your fair share down the road with the love of your life. If you’re really lucky, you’ll remember to pick out a great gift to give to your partner with each passing year. The tradition of gift giving goes back many years, and while there are specific anniversaries (the 25th and 50th for instance) that have an instantly recognizable treasure with which to present your loved one, what exactly are you to do for all those intervening years? It turns out that each year has themes you can play on, from that very first anniversary all the way down the line.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, we’re going to delve into the traditional and modern wedding anniversary themes, along with other specifics associated with each year. You’ll note that not every year includes all elements, but as this is just a guide, you’ll only need so much to go on to get you pointed in the right direction, no? You’ll also notice that after year thirty, the traditional themes are more spaced out, moving to a five-year schedule for the most part. Don’t worry; we’ll also include some of our own ideas if you need a hint or two on what might make for a great gift. Let’s begin!<\/span><\/p>\n

Year One<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Paper<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Clocks<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestion:<\/b>\u00a0No, you don’t need to get a paper clock. A regular clock will suffice, preferably analog, though, to show that you’re classy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Year Two<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Cotton<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0China<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestion:<\/b>\u00a0This here’s a no-brainer. How many clothes are made out of cotton? A set of tailored cotton shirts is just the ticket. Alternatively, though, a nice set of plates might be a great addition to the kitchen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Year Three<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Leather<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Crystal\/Glass<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestion:<\/b>\u00a0So many great options to choose from here. There’s no shortage of accessories made out of leather and crystal; you might even find one the blends the two together! Or perhaps you could get that antique leather Member’s Only jacket they’ve been clamoring for?<\/span><\/p>\n

Year Four<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Linen\/Silk<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Electrical Appliances<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestion:<\/b>\u00a0Which way do you go on this one? Silk garments are always a beautiful fashion statement, but appliances open the door to so much choice. If there’s something in the kitchen or washroom that needs updating, now might be the perfect time to do it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Year Five<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Wood<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Silverware<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestion:<\/b>\u00a0There’s a lot you can do with wood if you stop to think about it. Got a partner who’s into baseball? Then a bat might be just the thing they’re looking for. If the sport’s theme isn’t clicking, though, then maybe a wooden sign that shows your love, or a wooden chest with some hand-picked mementos. This one is only limited by your imagination. Or you could just get some new forks, that works too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Year Six<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Iron<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Wood<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestion:<\/b>\u00a0Assuming you already went with wood last year, why not go iron this time? A fancy art-deco wine holder can be both classy and charming, a perfect gift for your special someone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Year Seven<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Wool\/Copper<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Desk\/Pen & Pencil Sets<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestion:<\/b>\u00a0They’re throwing a whole range of options at you this year! Believe it or not, desks, pens, and pencils can be quite sexy, especially if you’ve got a writer in your life. Just the thing to adorn their office while they’re hard at work. Or you could keep it simple with copper and wool. Maybe a new pair of socks or a nice bangle?<\/span><\/p>\n

Year Eight<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Bronze<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Linen\/Lace<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestion:<\/b>\u00a0No bronze medals, OK? Wouldn’t want the love of your life getting the wrong impression. A bronze sculpture, on the other hand? Excellent, especially if it’s a depiction of something they really love. Hard to mess up linen and lace, by the way. Embroidered pillows, frilly clothing, all that stuff is cute when you do it right.<\/span><\/p>\n

Year Nine<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Pottery\/China<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Leather<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestion:<\/b>\u00a0Again with the leather? Let’s focus on pottery this time. Even if you don’t have the skills to whip up your own clay pots, you can buy some nice ones, along with some cups and plates too. A whole pottery set, really. Just make sure to pick out the right colors!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"wedding,<\/a><\/p>\n

Year Ten<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Tin\/Aluminum<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Diamonds\/Jewelry<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestion:<\/b>\u00a0Choosing tin or aluminum when diamonds and jewelry are on the list might raise an eyebrow or two, but consider this\u2014fine art. That’s right, even metals like tin can be crafted into impressive pieces, and maybe even one your sweetheart will enjoy? If not, a diamond bracelet will surely do as a great backup.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Year 11<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Steel<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Fashion Jewelry\/Accessories<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestion:<\/b>\u00a0These options seem to blend together nicely, don’t they? A steel pendant emblazoned with their favorite sigil is the way to go here.<\/span><\/p>\n

Year 12<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Silk<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Pearls\/Colored Gems<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestion:<\/b>\u00a0You could be obvious here and get something along the lines of a pearl necklace, but gemstones! A spiritual bracelet with some colored stones might just be the superior option.<\/span><\/p>\n

Year 13<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Lace<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Textiles\/Fur<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestion:<\/b>\u00a0More lace? If you’d like, but what about fur? It doesn’t have to be real fur, mind you, a faux fur coat is more than luxurious enough to make a good impression.<\/span><\/p>\n

Year 14<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Ivory<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Gold\/Jewelry<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestion:<\/b>\u00a0Good luck getting your hands on some ivory without a call from the authorities. Luckily, gold and jewelry go hand in hand. You’ve got your pick of bracelets, necklaces, and the like.<\/span><\/p>\n

Year 15<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Crystal<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Watches<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestion:<\/b>\u00a0You’re probably wondering if there’s any way you can combine these two. Of course, there is\u2014a watch decorated with crystals! The saying “two birds with one stone” never applied better.<\/span><\/p>\n

Year 16<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0N\/A<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Silver Holloware<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestion:<\/b>\u00a0What in the world is holloware? Anything that isn’t flatware. Pitchers, teapots, bowls, etc. This one’s easy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Year 17<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0N\/A<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Furniture<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestion:<\/b>\u00a0A new chair for the home office might be nice\u2014leather, with some sturdy wooden legs, if you can manage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Year 18<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0N\/A<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Porcelain<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestion:<\/b>\u00a0You can do more with porcelain than plates and bowls. Gift boxes, statues, and charms are a nice way to diversify this offering.<\/span><\/p>\n

Year 19<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0N\/A<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Bronze<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestion:<\/b>\u00a0Time to think outside the box. Bronze doesn’t just have to refer to the metal itself. How many establishments have “bronze” in the name. Look one up, and make it a date night to remember for ages to come.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"wedding,<\/a><\/p>\n

Year 20<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0China<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Platinum<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestion:<\/b>\u00a0Before you go out and buy a platinum watch or chain (which are certainly acceptable), why not think about a bottle of fine spirits? There are plenty with platinum right in the name. Gran Patron Platinum, anyone?<\/span><\/p>\n

Year 21<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0N\/A<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Brass\/Nickel<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestion:<\/b>\u00a0You probably couldn’t even name this many metals before, right? Building on the back of our alcohol-inspired gift from the last entry, maybe an artsy brushed-nickel flask would make for the perfect accompaniment?<\/span><\/p>\n

Year 22<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0N\/A<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Copper<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestion:<\/b>\u00a0There are more uses for copper than serving ware and jewelry. If you’ve got a gun enthusiast on your hands, a copper grip for their favorite pistol makes for a great accessory.<\/span><\/p>\n

Year 23<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0N\/A<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Silver Plate<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Musical Instruments<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestion:<\/b>\u00a0Just ask them which instrument they want to learn and head on down to the music store. If they’ve already got one they play, then you’re all set.<\/span><\/p>\n

Year 25<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Silver<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Sterling Silver<\/span><\/p>\n

Year 26<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0N\/A<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Original Pictures<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestion:<\/b>\u00a0Did somebody say collage? OK, it doesn’t have to be a collage, but a collection of your favorite photo memories, done up nicely, is going to be surefire hit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Year 27<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0N\/A<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Sculpture<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestion:<\/b>\u00a0We mentioned sculpture in some of our earlier entries, but this theme is more general as it’s not limited to a certain material. If they have a favorite artist, game, or show, try a sculpture based on that to show your affection.<\/span><\/p>\n

Year 28<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0N\/A<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Orchids<\/span><\/p>\n

Year 29<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0N\/A<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0New Furniture<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestion:<\/b>\u00a0You might wonder what the difference between the earlier furniture entry and this “new furniture” entry is. Not much, so pick out a piece you think your significant other will like.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"wedding,<\/a><\/p>\n

Year 30<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Pearl<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Diamond<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestion:<\/b>\u00a0You could go with some pearl or diamond jewelry. If you’re feeling adventurous, though, see if you can track down some vintage Pearl Black Diamond drum shells. Any musician would be honored to have them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Year 35<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Coral<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Jade<\/span><\/p>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Ruby<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Ruby<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Emerald<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggestion: This is another one with vast potential, as it doesn’t just apply to the gemstone. It’s doubtful that anyone would say no to a finely crafted piece of emerald jewelry, though.<\/span><\/p>\n

Year 60<\/span><\/h3>\n

Traditional Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Diamond<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Theme:<\/b>\u00a0Diamond<\/span><\/p>\n

Wedding anniversaries are a wonderful thing. If you’re lucky, you’ll be celebrating your fair share down the road with the love of your life.

Year Five Traditional Theme:\u00a0Wood Modern Theme:\u00a0Silverware Suggestion:\u00a0There’s a lot you can do with wood if you stop to think about it. Got a partner who’s into baseball? Then a bat might be just the thing they’re looking for. If the sport’s theme isn’t clicking, though, then maybe a wooden sign that shows your love, or a wooden chest with some hand-picked mementos. This one is only limited by your imagination. Or you could just get some new forks, that works too. Year Six Traditional Theme:\u00a0Iron Modern Theme:\u00a0Wood Suggestion:\u00a0Assuming you already went with wood last year, why not go iron this time? A fancy art-deco wine holder can be both classy and charming, a perfect gift for your special someone.
