How to celebrate

Each family decides on their own how to celebrate this significant day. In addition to traditional dinners with a large number of relatives and friends, this issue can be approached more creatively.

Five wedding anniversary ideas.

1. Arrange a life-long Lovestory photo session. In this case, the photographs can capture not only the spouses, but also their children, relatives and close people. You can reproduce several significant events that occurred in the life of a couple. The main thing is to show imagination.
2. First date. Perhaps this event will forever remain in the memory of each of the spouses. So why not repeat it? You can spend an evening in the cafe where you first met or take a walk in the park, remembering the beginning of the relationship.
3. Fulfill an old joint dream. Sometimes there is almost never time for such things in everyday life. The day of your wedding anniversary is exactly the moment when you should not give up on it.
4. Go on a journey. It may not necessarily be an expensive vacation, which is not always affordable for everyone. A small trip to places that will be of interest to both is enough.
5. A romantic dinner in an unusual place. Sometimes you just want to take a break from the imposed formality of restaurants and feel yourself in comfort. To do this, you can simply organize a dinner by the river or lake or park.

Anniversaries go far into the period roman empire when husbands crowned their wives with silver crowns for the 25th anniversary, or vicennalia, and a gold crown for the 50th anniversary.

Later, with the development of commerce, it was invented more anniversaries, andeach came with a gift.

Today, in different countries, gifts may be different, but most of them have dates for which it is customary to give certain gifts. For example, on the 5th anniversary it is customary to give wooden gifts, on the 25th - a gift made of silver, etc.

In some eastern countries such as China and Japan, anniversaries were celebrated according to the teachings of numerology, in which successful and unsuccessful anniversaries and anniversaries were celebrated.

If you believe this teaching, dates that are multiples of four should be celebrated noisily and with guests. And anniversaries, which are dedicated to 11, 22 and 33 years of life together, should be celebrated in private.

It is worth noting that there are quite a few wedding anniversaries and many have two or more names.

As a rule, three wedding anniversaries are most prominently celebrated: silver (25 years old), gold (50 years old) and diamond (60 years old).

What wedding

Green wedding - from the date of marriage to 1 year

The very first day of the wedding, as well as the whole year after it, is called the "green wedding". This date is so called because green symbolizes youth, freshness and purity of a young couple.

The whole year can be celebrated several times, for example, by months to celebrate "wedding anniversary". The tradition of celebrating a green wedding may have lost its relevance.

Nevertheless, the leaves in the wedding wreath and in the bride's bouquet, as well as the flower in the groom's boutonniere are considered symbols of a green wedding.

names of wedding anniversaries by year, table

Not everyone knows that the very day on which the wedding is carried out already has a name. His name is "green wedding". In this case, the “green” symbolizes the youth and inexperience of the newlyweds. In addition, greens are always freshness, lightness, but at the same time - something not fully ripe and not very fragile.

Based on the name of the wedding anniversary, it is customary to give gifts, it is for this reason (most likely) on the day of the wedding (that is, for the "green wedding") it is customary to give currency. It is the dollar bills that should bring the newlyweds financial well-being and fortune in married life. However, this is not an established rule at all and is just a tradition.

Table of weddings distributed by year from 1 to 10

Wedding anniversary	Anniversary title	Anniversary features
1 year	calico wedding	The anniversary received this name only because this material is valued for its special subtlety, lightness, transparency. This fabric is quite everyday, not expensive, but fragile: it can be easily torn and damaged. She is compared with romantic feelings, because after one year of living together, a couple tries life and often loses feelings. For a gingham wedding, it is customary to drink a bottle of champagne tied at the wedding.
2 years	paper wedding	Paper is also a rather weak material and that is why the second anniversary has such a name. You can literally compare a marriage with paper like this: “It is strong when the“ paper ”is folded in several layers. This suggests that joint efforts, understandings and children cement the union of a young family and make it lasting.
3 years	leather wedding	Our ancestors gave this anniversary such a name because at that time such material as leather was highly valued and dear. Compared with chintz and paper, the skin is much stronger, which suggests that the lovers have gone through the difficulties of the first years of marriage and found harmony in which they built their happy life.
4 years	linen wedding	Linen fabric is considered a fairly noble and pleasant material, which is not cheap and is considered prestigious and has many positive properties. In the old days, ropes were woven from flax and often the 4th anniversary of living together is also called "rope". Our ancestors believed that for 4 years of marriage, the spouses should be put to the test: to tie them with linen ropes and if they get out of them harmoniously - this is a good omen, symbolizing a long happy marriage.
5 years	wooden wedding	This name was given to the anniversary for a reason. The tree has long been a symbol of fertility, and by the fifth year of marriage, the newlyweds must have a child. When two lovers have their first child, they literally "put down roots" and find a lasting union between each other. The tree also symbolizes the house and furniture in which a young family finds comfort.

How are the anniversaries of living together?

As a rule, all the anniversaries of living together require some kind of attention. The exceptions are those that celebrate is a bad omen. The first five years of marriage are usually celebrated very violently: in the circle of friends and family. After these dates, the married couple solemnly celebrate only anniversaries.

It is possible to decide on the celebration of the anniversary, based on the name of the anniversary itself, but this is not fundamental and does not have much significance.

The first anniversary, namely the “Calico Wedding”, is always an event. It is customary to celebrate it with those close people who were present at the wedding itself: parents, witnesses, friends and relatives.

Not celebrating the first anniversary is considered bad form and bad manners. On this day, one of the two bottles of champagne opens, which was contacted at the wedding itself. It is customary to drink the second bottle with parents to celebrate the birth of their first child.

The cake is also symbolic for the first anniversary. It should be given special importance and ordered from professionals in their field. In fact, it should be no worse than the cake that was at your wedding, if only less ... The cake symbolizes - a lush, cheerful, self-sufficient and prosperous life of a young couple.

There are no clear guidelines on where and how to celebrate the anniversary. The main thing is to set a good table, invite guests and celebrate the event. If the weather permits, most often the anniversary is celebrated in nature (since it is affordable, not expensive and festive). The lease of a cafe will be more solemn; every guest will prepare for such an event and wait impatiently.

A symbolic and good omen will be the exchange of gifts for the newlyweds for the anniversary, based on its name: for a chintz one - chintz handkerchiefs, a wooden one - photo frames, for a gold one - an exchange of jewelry. This is considered a good tradition that characterizes lovers from the best sides.

• bathrobes and slippers
• dinner service
• paintings

The best gift is, of course, money, it is no less important for the family's budget than on the day when two lovers tied the knot.

A prerequisite is a wide celebration of big anniversaries:

• 5 years - "Wooden wedding" (first anniversary). On this date, it is best to rent a cafe (you can also the one in which the wedding itself took place), invite guests and celebrate the date with magnificent fun, dances and competitions
• 10 years - "Tin Wedding" also requires solemnity, a separate room (or a holiday in nature) and many invited guests
• 15 years - "Glass Wedding", can be celebrated a little more modestly, in the circle of friends in nature
• 25 years - "Silver Wedding", is considered an impressive date and requires a wide celebration in a cafe or restaurant
• 50 years - "Golden Wedding", an excellent tradition for a golden wedding is the repeated wedding ceremony, which will delight the spouses and remind them of the day when they became one. Such ceremonies are held symbolically, without representatives of the registry office, but nevertheless they require the same careful preparation: a dress, a suit, a bridal bouquet, and so on.

Whatever the celebration: magnificent or modest, the main thing that two lovers need to take into account is not to forget why they decided to get married: feelings, passion and love. You should not forget about the date of the wedding, even if you do not intend to celebrate it with your loved ones, it is imperative to congratulate your soul mate!
