Wedding Anniversary

Modernizing Traditional Anniversary Gifts For Your Spouse

Commerating your anniversary with a special celebration each year is one of the keys to a successful and happy marriage. For example, if it's your first year celebrating an anniversary, the traditional gift is that of paper to signify the interlocking of your lives together. A way to honor that tradition is to give a modern gift made of paper such as tickets to your favorite show or concert. You can make cards or write letters for each other that remind your spouse of how much you love him/her and why. Bring a bottle of champagne out to your lawn and shoot off a few confetti poppers to celebrate!

Chances are, your wedding vows were the most important part of your ceremony. As you move through the years together, as anniversaries come and go, perhaps you've begin to feel that no material gift compares to the love you have for your spouse. For couples in this situation, renewing vows is a wonderful gift. Consider it a way to pay homage the dedication you had for each other on the day you married.

You may wish to formally renew your vows by having a second wedding or just a gathering of friends. Alternately, you may wish to renew them privately. Either way, consider making slight adjustments to your vows, based on the experiences you've had together over the years. What have you learned? How has your partner become closer to you? What do you hope for the coming years? Since love is more valuable than any material gift, restating your commitment to each other is one of the best anniversary presents any spouse could wish for.

Everyone knows how important wedding anniversaries are, and even more important to many couples is what anniversary gift to give for each appropriate milestone anniversary. Here's a short list of traditional and modern gifts (separated by a slash) that correspond to the number of years a couple has been married:

• 1st wedding anniversary: Paper/Clocks
• 10th anniversary: Tin, Aluminum/Diamond
• 20th anniversary: China/Platinum
• 25th, or Silver anniversary: Silver/Sterling silver
• 30th anniversary: Pearl/Diamond
• 40th anniversary: Ruby/Ruby
• 50th or Gold anniversary: Gold/Gold
