40 years of marriage gifts. What to give parents for a ruby ​​wedding. Gift to your soul mate

Every married couple remembers that exciting day when their wedding took place. 40 years - what is the symbolism of this significant date? Such an anniversary of living together is a rarity, and it deserves special attention. What is the name of the 40th anniversary of marriage, how to congratulate the heroes of the day and what is better to give them?

Ruby wedding

Ruby wedding - this is how it is customary to call the anniversary of life together, when as many as 40 years have passed since the date of the wedding. What kind of wedding, what to give to parents and how to properly celebrate this significant day are questions that often arise on the eve of such a celebration.

Why is the 40th anniversary exactly ruby? It is known that the ruby, like most rocks, does not represent anything special at the time of extraction. The faded and shapeless stone becomes truly precious, sparkling and blood red only after careful cutting. It is the same with family relationships: after the painstaking work of the spouses for four decades, they become multifaceted, durable and very valuable.

Some families celebrate their 40th anniversary magnificently, while others - in a narrow circle of the closest people. However, no matter what the day will be, it is believed that the spouses should follow one old tradition. On the anniversary date, you need to exchange your wedding rings for new ones decorated with a ruby. The old ones should be put into the box and kept there until the wedding of the grandson or granddaughter. The rings of the spouses who have lived happily for 40 years will bring prosperity to the younger generation.

Gifts for each other

Few people manage to maintain tender feelings for so long and celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary. What kind of wedding, and even more so for spouses with such experience, does without gifts? On this significant day, the heroes of the occasion must definitely please each other with something special.

The best solutions for this case are:

• jewelry. The husband can present his wife with a ring, earrings, pendant or brooch with a ruby. And the wife - to please her beloved husband with cufflinks, a ring or a tie clip with the same precious stone symbolic for the couple;
• jewelry with artificial stones of bright red color is a good option if the purchase of expensive products with rubies is not included in the plans of a couple;
• items for personal use in red or with a red stone. It can be jewelry boxes, a pocket mirror, a cigarette case or a lighter.

40 years of marriage is a really huge period. On this important day, each of the spouses can once again emphasize how strong the union created four decades ago is. A specially ordered engraving will help to make any chosen gift truly special. After all, what could be more pleasant than memorable gifts with gentle words addressed to each other?

Gifts from children

Often grown-up children simply cannot believe that as many as 40 years have passed since the day of the marriage of the father and mother. What kind of wedding, what to give to parents and how to congratulate the dearest people on this solemn day?

The best gifts from children on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of marriage can be:

• handmade gifts. A photo album with photos of parents for all 40 years from the wedding day, a photo collage inserted into a frame, festive champagne (or red wine) with a photo of the spouses and other original ideas will definitely appeal to the heroes of the day;
• gifts of ruby ​​color. Beautiful glasses, interior items and even household appliances in symbolic colors will remind parents of their 40th anniversary for many years;
• practical gifts. A voucher to a sanatorium, an excursion tour, an apparatus for self-massage, a food processor and other useful gifts that can diversify and brighten up life.

An excellent addition to any gift will be beautiful ruby-colored flowers and sincere congratulations, prepared especially for the people dearest to your heart.

Gifts from guests

How to choose a gift when traveling as an invited guest for a 40th wedding anniversary? What kind of wedding, what the children and the spouses themselves give to each other, we already know - let's find out what presents are better to prepare for the guests.

Great gifts from friends and relatives for the ruby ​​anniversary will be:

• interior items of bright red color: glasses, a beautiful service, a vase, candlesticks, a coffee table, a tablecloth, a box for wedding rings, etc.;
• symbolic gifts, the number of which is 40. These can be towels, decorative ruby-colored candles and even 40 bottles of vintage wine (however, in the latter case, the attitude of both spouses to alcohol must be taken into account);
• valuable gifts. Household appliances, an elegant figurine decorated with rubies, a portrait of the heroes of the day in a beautiful frame and other expensive things, decorated in a festive color.

The choice of a gift is always at the discretion of the guests, because close friends and relatives know better than others what the hero of the day will like and find useful. One has only to take into account that it is not customary to give bed linen and clothes for a ruby ​​wedding.

Congratulations

Many guests, going to the celebration, ask themselves the question: 40 years - what kind of wedding? After all, congratulations, gifts and even the style of clothing - after all, all this must correspond to the symbolism of the holiday. The 40th anniversary of living together is ruby, so it is desirable that this noble color be used in gifts, bouquets, table decoration and guests' outfits.

As for congratulations, on such an occasion (however, as in the case of other anniversaries) it is better to prepare them in advance, rather than invent them right at the festive table. The following ideas can become original and memorable:

• congratulations in verse or prose, decorated in a beautiful folder with a photograph of the spouses or written on a large postcard;
• video greetings. If relatives and friends do not have a suitable video, a film about the happy life of the heroes of the day can be composed of photographs and accompanied by their favorite song;
• congratulations on the radio. Traditionally, on wedding anniversaries, they order a song or a congratulatory call from the radio station, after which a musical composition is put on especially for the spouses;
• SMS message or Internet postcard - this option is suitable for those who, for some reason, cannot personally attend the celebration of the ruby ​​wedding;
• game congratulations. Guests dress up as fairy tale characters, movie heroes or pop artists and congratulate the spouses in a comic form, reinforcing wishes with funny songs and dances.

It is especially good when there are guests at the holiday who remember what the wedding itself was like 40 years ago - what atmosphere reigned that day, what contests, gifts and funny moments were. All this can be partially recreated and remind the spouses of that distant and happy event.

And only a tear drips happiness!

Before the wedding, gold is left,
Just a little bit for both of you,
These years are so small
Our relatives, good luck,

After all, there is one destiny for two,
Be welcome, don't be sad

You are on envious people!

For forty years you lived together
And the ruby ​​you deserve
Great-grandchildren are already growing
They are waiting for grandfather and woman to visit!
Kiss each other
Let neither a storm nor an evil blizzard,
Never be torn apart
You health for years!
And more earthly love,
Until a hundred years still bloom,
Do not succumb to evil winds,
Enjoy the good life!

Two ruby ​​rings -
A symbol of happiness without end.
For the merging of hearts
For the shine of the rings!
You lived to be gray
But cheerful, as before,
Blaze like a ruby
Feelings and hopes.

Just like that.
I drink a glass for you to the bottom.

Himself to each other without a trace!
It's not a secret for you!
We respect your wisdom!
Today the marriage is 40 years old!
Congratulations on your anniversary!

Rubies are strewn with this day -
Today is the ruby ​​wedding
And a beautiful congratulation from children
Accept it soon, mom, dad.
Soul and soul intertwined like grapes
Weaves into spring trees
And I'm so happy about the holiday
I wish you lots of fun!

Rubies gleam over the Kremlin,
There are countless stars in the firmament.
You have been united for forty years!
Congratulations, mother-in-law, father-in-law!
There were days of separation, sorrow,
But joy drove them away;
We met a new day with a smile
You gave birth to a happy daughter ...
The son-in-law will not resist a toast,
I'm not used to limping in words:
Live in happiness, you are up to a hundred years old,
My mother and father are dear to me!

No, not forty forties -
Forty affectionate years
By fate you passed by
As one - hand in hand.
God give you the same faith
And love by an endless measure
And a great earthly reward -
Jubilee in the distance.
So that he burst out, like this one,
Gifted and illuminated
Became a joy and a covenant
And he did not diminish love.

R ubinovy ​​wedding is not inferior to more significant and accepted dates in society, like silver and gold. After all, the life of two people together is much more multifaceted and more important than the combination of beautiful numbers on a postcard. For forty years, only those who truly value the comfort of their partner, show titanic patience and agility, and also fight with the whole world for their personal little happiness, will be able to live side by side.

The attention of people is often paid to beautiful dates, so the ruby ​​wedding has become overgrown with fewer traditions and requirements regarding the celebration. But for some people, this fact becomes more of a plus, because you can fully reveal your imagination and come up with your own celebration scenario.

The symbolism of a forty-year marriage

The very name of the anniversary “Ruby Wedding” contains a symbol of celebration - a precious and very attractive ruby ​​stone. It is he who is a symbol of the relentless passion and liveliness that is inherent in lovers. Rubin yielded superiority in strength only to diamond, so people who have managed to live 40 years together try to correspond in feelings to the symbol of the holiday. Also, people compare the cutting of a ruby ​​with the process of grinding two people in everyday life, because the stone is given a scrupulous grinding and fitting before use.

The color gamut of ruby ​​is quite wide - from orange-red to a real flame of purple. Jewelers know very well that the redder and thicker the color of the stone, the higher its price, and, consequently, the product itself along with it.

In ancient times, people relied on the stone the most cherished desires - to see their own future, so everyone tried to get at least the smallest piece of it to enhance intuition and flair. Some peoples even considered it to be a link with good luck. Everyone who wore it on their left hand could be sure of their own success. There are also known cases when ruby ​​was used as a sure means of stopping bleeding. Already in the modern world, rubies also figured in medicine, but already as a basic element in the production of a laser.
Another symbol of the holiday is the ambiguous beauty of the Nasturtium flower, which resembles Pansies in shape, but still returns to the precious ruby ​​in color. The touching plant has been used since time immemorial in medicine as an anti-inflammatory agent.

Ideas for a celebration

There are several factors that determine the way of celebrating the anniversary: ​​the state of health of the married couple, financial situation and the emotional interest of relatives.
If the couple is filled with strength and desire to create a real celebration, you can safely call all close relatives and spend the anniversary in a cozy restaurant. Such a solution will simplify household chores and allow for optimal docking of all guests.

You can start with a True Memories Tour. Skillful grandchildren can make a real film about the family life of the heroes of the day, filling it with separate comments or monologues of relatives about the most interesting events. The kinder and warmer the atmosphere of the film is, the more pleasant it will be to watch the edited material. This kind of presentation will help set everyone present in the necessary mood and relax the worried heroes of the day.

As a souvenir for all who come, you can prepare thematic cards or boxes of chocolates with a wedding image of the heroes of the day. So everyone will have a little reminder of the evening they lived, which they can get at any time and relive pleasant memories again.
Many people take the ruby ​​color as a symbolic color for decorating a room, but a rich shade often strains a person who arrives in the zone of his influence for a long time. Therefore, the ruby ​​color should be introduced as an additional or accent color. A combination of delicate white or creamy large flowers with small droplets of red will be pleasant.

Red good-quality napkins, red lines of glasses and, of course, candles will help to continue the ruby ​​color (you can combine large white and smaller red ones). Tablecloths and chair covers should not be selected in such a rich color, the room should remain airy and light, because a wedding anniversary is a celebration of light and love.

The main guest of the celebration is red wine of the best varieties, because its inimitable aroma, color and taste will help you to enjoy the taste of tart passion and love as much as possible. Wine has always perfectly conveyed the whole gamut of a person's feelings and aspirations. 40 years of marriage were full of different events: sometimes we met disasters on the way, but not infrequently a miracle appeared on the doorstep, as well as upsets and ups. The married couple was able to overcome all storms and complications, retaining their warmth and love.

The Tree of Wishes is very popular, which you can create yourself or order from the masters. The type of tree, the size of the leaves and their color can be decided together with the heroes of the day. Some people like birch with its romantic twigs and brunks, others like Canadian maple, the leaves of which allow you to write a whole poem as a keepsake. The color scheme will help to understand the mood of the couple: autumn foliage symbolizes peace and tranquility, and a riot of luscious greenery will remind you of the inner core of each person, which makes everyone wake up in the morning.
The composition can be supplemented with a red pot, as a continuation of the holiday symbol, or with several red leaves. So the ruby ​​thread will flow into all the details of the evening. Near the tree, you can equip a place for storing presents, as well as pleasant things.

Celebration traditions

In the last decade, the main tradition of this holiday has become the exchange of new rings, which would necessarily contain the stones of a real ruby. To embellish this moment of exchange, you can prepare in advance the ceremony of vows, during which the wedding rings will change.
In order for the ruby ​​spouses to be able to enjoy the moment to their fullest, it is worth preparing them in advance for this event. Men are quite often stingy with the manifestation of feelings and impulses, so he should consider the oath in advance.

The tradition of eating cherries is less popular - the process itself consists in the fact that the spouses are served a plate of cherries, on top of which there is a paired berry. Having eaten it, they are obliged to plant the bones in the ground. The seeds that sprout bring the couple real happiness in the future and a unique passion. Cherries are obliged to bring the closest relatives and the more people bring them (one by one, an armful), the more confident the life of a married couple will be.

What to give ruby ​​anniversaries

For 4 decades together, the spouses have clearly succeeded in the skill of selecting gifts for each other, so it will be very easy to calculate the most necessary and pleasant. On this day, many try to emphasize the ruby ​​theme as much as possible - men buy a dress of the corresponding color, women buy leather diaries or other business paraphernalia.

But the most difficult thing is for the guests, because everyone wants to please the heroes of the day not just with a trinket, but with a present necessary in the family. After the release of the cult series about the life of women in New York, many began to practice the wish list before any celebration. The culprit of the holiday makes a list of everything they want and distributes it to guests or large supermarkets, everyone has the opportunity to choose one of them according to their taste and capabilities and be sure that they will like it.

Comfortable family sets of high-quality dishes, chic bed linen in pleasant colors, as well as desired vouchers for health improvement remain traditional gifts. Large-scale purchases of household appliances or other household equipment can be planned from a family or several invitees. It all depends on the sociability of the invitees and the mood of the heroes of the day.

You can give a gift with simple wishes or teach the whole family a funny song, in which the warmest words and wishes for the older generation would sound. Joint training and performances will add real cohesion and fun to the family, which sometimes gets hotter in the gray everyday life. The recorded process of performance in the future will also serve as an excellent family material for a joint family album or newsreel.

Other wedding anniversaries: Descriptions

To live 40 years in marriage is a real gift of fate, which is not given to every person. After all, for this you need to have real talent and work together to create such a strong and happy family. Many people do not know, 40th wedding year is what kind of wedding? The fact is that it is not as common as, for example, a gold or silver date. But nevertheless, this is also a very important event that should be celebrated with friends or in a family circle.

Why 40 years together is a ruby ​​wedding

40 years of life - what kind of wedding? This question will be answered by the symbol of the 40th anniversary of the date of marriage - a gem with an amazing color. The value of this red stone is slightly inferior to that of a diamond, but when a ruby ​​is processed by jewelry, it turns into a product of magical beauty.

Therefore, family relationships, like the symbol of the anniversary (at 40), cut and polished by the years lived together, become strong and indestructible. For both spouses, the ruby ​​date is a wonderful occasion to see their loved ones, relatives and friends, gathering them at the anniversary celebration.

Ruby Jubilee Traditions

On this wonderful holiday, the spouses, according to tradition, should exchange rings, as they did many years ago. What is so remarkable about this date - "wedding day, 40 years"? What kind of wedding, such should be the rings, that is, jewelry should be picked up with a ruby. And their old wedding "newlyweds" put in a box or casket, so that later they can be inherited by their grandchildren.

There is one more beautiful and touching tradition. On this day, the couple eat two cherries from a paired leg, without separating it. The bones from it are not thrown away, but buried in the ground, and if all these years the heroes of the day lived in peace and harmony, then after the lapse of time trees should grow, whose trunks will be tightly woven.

Where to celebrate the anniversary? Features of the hall design

So 40 years have passed since the wedding day. What kind of wedding was, of course, the spouses remember perfectly. This day is remembered as if it was only yesterday. On the occasion of the ruby ​​jubilee, you can also organize a real feast, which can be remembered for a long time not only by the heroes of the occasion, but also by their loved ones.

It can be held both at home and in a restaurant or cafe. If, nevertheless, the choice settled on the second option, then for this it is important to choose the right room and decorate the hall according to all the rules in order to celebrate the significant date - the 40th wedding year. What kind of wedding is it without a host or a musician? To create a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere, you can invite someone who will amuse the guests to their fullest.

When decorating the room where the celebration on the occasion of the ruby ​​anniversary will take place, you need to focus on the fiery red hue, because it is a symbol of anniversary and love. In the hall, you can hang multi-colored balls in the shape of hearts, put attractive scarlet tablecloths on the tables, and put vases with ruby-colored flowers on top. The windows can be decorated with bright curtains in burgundy or pink, and the walls with beautiful red ribbons.

Celebrating the ruby ​​anniversary at home

If you want to create a light and relaxed atmosphere at the celebration, then, of course, it is better to organize it at home. First, you can invite a hairdresser to give the bride and her guests beauty, and then, while everyone is not tired, hold a photo session in memory of such a significant day.

An excellent decoration of an apartment can be helium balloons, which children can then play with if they suddenly get bored. The toastmaster can host the celebration on the occasion of the 40th wedding anniversary, so that the invited guests will surely enjoy and remember this day for a long time.

Making a menu for a ruby ​​wedding

Finally, a place has been determined where to celebrate the 40th wedding year. What kind of wedding or anniversary is it without delicious treats? The menu for guests should be thought out so that it also symbolizes the ruby ​​date. From the drinks offered, this will help to realize red wine or champagne. The highlight of the festive menu is to make a salad, which will be decorated with pomegranate seeds, which look strongly reminiscent of a ruby.

You need to treat guests with red marmalade and fruit, which can be served as a dessert. The conclusion of the celebration, of course, will be a birthday cake, which will be pre-decorated with strawberries, cherries or raspberries. One of the options for decorating the cake is red rose petals, which will look very aesthetically pleasing and original.

40th wedding anniversary contests and entertainment

Without a doubt, the whole evening will be dedicated to the fact that the guests will congratulate and honor the "newlyweds". But still, in order to somehow diversify the atmosphere at the holiday, you can hold interesting contests and games for those invited. Relevant, for example, would be a task that allows you to check how the guests know wedding anniversaries.

The conditions for entertainment are very simple: by the name of the anniversary, you will need to find out when it is celebrated, or exactly the opposite - the participants guess what date it is, by the number of years lived. The one who gave the most answers becomes the winner.

Another very interesting and pleasant competition is called "Who will praise the most." The essence of the game lies in the fact that each hero of the day recruits a team of guests, where he is the captain. Then the participants take turns drawing a letter from the bag, and names any praise in honor of the rival captain. For each such compliment, the team scores a point for itself, whoever gets more points won.

At each holiday, of course, there is a musical accompaniment, so one of the proposed contests may be associated specifically with music.
