Wedding anniversaries by year - features of the celebration

Table 1: Wedding anniversaries and their names by year

Year	wedding anniversary name	Peculiarities
marriage day	Green *	It is called so because the family is still immature, so to speak "green". Young people still have a lot to go through, and most importantly, it is to create strong bonds of marriage and live for many, many years. Flowers are the symbol of the wedding, which is why they decorate the premises of the wedding and the subsequent celebration. Flowers should also be in the bride's bouquet and boutonnieres.
1 year	Calico	Another name is gauze. And it came from the nature of married life in the first year. In fact, in the first year of marriage, the spouses began to get to know each other better, and their family bond is more like a thin fabric, such as chintz. Another definition of the name speaks of the too active intimate life of a young couple, which leads to the thinning of chintz underwear to the state of gauze. On the first anniversary, light alcohol should be consumed: wine, liqueurs, and champagne left after the wedding should be drunk. Celebrate outdoors.
2 year	Paper	Paper is also a fragile object, which is why the second year of marriage got its name. Only being together, the spouses create a strong union, it is desirable to have offspring by this time, which will further strengthen the family. Celebrate outdoors.
3 year	Leather	The symbolism of the anniversary is leather, it is already a more durable material. Marital relations at this stage have become stronger and more durable. Celebrate outdoors.
4 year	linen	Another name for rope or wax. No wonder the symbol of the four years of family life has become flax. It symbolizes wealth, purity, strength of family ties. You can celebrate your anniversary any way you like. Linen is a durable material. After all, the couple lived together for 4 years, they learned to listen and hear each other, which means they are ready to continue their journey hand in hand. If the anniversary is celebrated, then there must be a linen tablecloth and candles on the table. In the old days, it was believed that on the fourth wedding anniversary, you need to weave a rope from flax, tie the hands of the spouses with it. If they get out, then the marriage will be long and happy.
5 year	Wooden	The first round anniversary date of the family. Wood is a durable material, which means that relationships have gained their steadfastness and strength. By this time, the spouses probably had a child, perhaps they already have their own home. There is such a sign that on the fifth anniversary of the family, a husband and wife should plant a tree. This will become a memory for their descendants, as well as "root" the union.
6 years	Cast iron	This material becomes the first, durable, metallic symbol of family ties. Many years spent together mean that the relationship has some weight, they are important to you. But this does not mean that relationships can be left to chance, if a cast-iron product is dropped, it will break, and so it is in relationships. Any misunderstanding, understatement and turmoil can destroy a marriage. A good attitude, love and respect will hold it together. A cast-iron wedding also symbolizes a strong home.
6.5 years	Zinc	No matter how many holidays there are, they will always commemorate something. And the day when a new family was born is of particular importance for the spouses.

9 years	faience	The concept of faience means a strong union. So your relationship has become even more connected and strong. This material is not strong, so for the strength of family relationships, you need to express all claims to each other.

This is a great symbol for family life, which also blossoms when you give each other warmth. Do not forget that the family is built on the brightest and warmest feelings.

Despite the fact that the number "13" is unlucky, it has no meaning for the celebration of the wedding anniversary.
14 years	agate	The symbolism here is agate, a hard and durable stone. It means longevity and health of husband and wife.

Wedding day is the happiest day of life for many. Or one of those, because the birth of a joint child is a much greater happiness. The name of weddings has very deep roots and it is better to come up with even modern educated minds beyond the power. After all, in the old days people felt nature much better and identifying each person with it, they found those truths that modern psychologists teach for a long time in educational institutions. The names of wedding anniversaries by year also determine the gifts that are usually given to spouses.

But what is it for? After all, a modern person is used to celebrating only anniversaries without attaching importance to intermediate ones. Previously, people believed more in the signs that their ancestors taught them and strictly observed them. Perhaps, or perhaps some higher power kept the marriage of those who did everything according to the rules. That is why absolutely everyone knew the names of wedding anniversaries by years and they did not need special reminders.

It is worth explaining to a modern person why exactly the name of weddings is personified with one or another adjective. This is what we'll do. So, the name of the wedding:

The wedding day is called green. Because a young family, like greenery, with which in the old days any beginning was compared, is very beautiful, fresh, light, but at the same time fragile and immature. It is better if many flowers with greenery are presented on this day.

Gifts made from wood.

But whatever the name of the wedding, may eternal love reign in your family. We wish you mutual understanding and together survive the century from the date of marriage!

Now we propose to find out whether it is easy for a young couple to live together for 1 year and what kind of wedding it is.

When young people are in love, absolutely everything seems to be in pink, and the loved one is the best of all in the world and the only one like that. On such days, few people pay attention to shortcomings. And it would be important to do this and ask myself the question: can I put up with them, will I accept them? Lovers rush to the registry office, and then often suddenly get divorced, without understanding and not accepting each other. So how to save a young family and survive all family crises together?

When you can understand and accept. When is divorce the best option?

Each new family is a separate small state with its own world and its own rules. Sometimes love reigns here, and sometimes passions rage. So, when should you try to make concessions and accept a loved one, and when is it better to file for divorce?

If in the first year of the wedding, young people do not want to give in to each other, and for this reason quarrels often arise, but at the same time the couple wants to save the family, a possible way out of the situation would be to try to figure out what is happening or contact a family psychologist.

Grinding in everyday life really often destroys families. Moreover, if one tries to give in and understand the other, and the second does not participate in this in any way and continues to behave as before, most likely, such an alliance will collapse, or will continue to exist as long as the one who has enough patience who fights to save the marriage.

The first year for a young fragile family is indeed a real test of strength, patience, wisdom and love. If you manage to survive it safely, for sure, the next years will be much easier for the spouses. We offer to find out if the couple lived for 1 year, what kind of wedding is it.

Printed wedding - the first anniversary of the newlyweds

All loving couples try to celebrate this special day of their marriage. After all, it was then that they promised to always be together and go hand in hand, in spite of any difficulties and obstacles.

Interestingly, each such wedding anniversary has its own original name. Many people know about gold and ruby weddings. But about the beryl and mother-of-pearl wedding, for sure, few people have heard. One way or another, the wedding is not called by chance, but based on the experience and strength of the relationship.

At 1 year, the wedding is called calico. Everyone knows that chintz is a very delicate material and, if handled carelessly, can easily tear. The same is true with marital relations. If you do not cherish love, do not give in to each other and do not try to understand when it is needed, the marriage may well collapse.

The first wedding anniversary is really always very exciting for two.. After all, this means that they have passed, albeit a small, but still milestone and at the same time managed to maintain feelings for each other, and most importantly, they want to continue to go through life together. In fact, it is not so important what kind of wedding in 1 year of marriage - chintz or gauze. It is important that people were able to save the marriage union and now they are confidently setting goals for a further joint future.

Should we celebrate 1 year of marriage or not?

Of course, each couple decides to celebrate the first year of marriage or not. But often young people are happy to arrange an excellent holiday on this occasion and invite friends and relatives.. This, of course, is not an anniversary, but a great occasion to gather all those people who shared this joy of marriage with them a year ago.

Where to celebrate your wedding anniversary? This special day in the life of the family can be celebrated at home or go to a cafe, restaurant. Both options are interesting in their own way. At home, the couple and their guests will undoubtedly be comfortable and interesting. There will be such an opportunity to watch a video from the wedding of the newlyweds and photos.

If you want to invite friends and relatives to a restaurant for your anniversary, then by all means choose the best institution in the city. Here everyone should be comfortable and cozy. Alternatively, you can book a table at the restaurant where you celebrated your wedding a year ago. If there is such a desire, be sure to invite a toastmaster or host to the wedding. A great mood is guaranteed for everyone.

However, young couples do not always celebrate their first anniversary with friends. Sometimes spouses just want to be together on this day.. For 1 year after the wedding, you can arrange a candlelit dinner or go on an exciting journey. Especially such a gift as a joint trip will delight a woman. Each trip is always very romantic and especially for two lovers. And if you want - go together to the theater or cinema. Such leisure time spent together will surely give a great mood to each of the spouses.

What do you give for the first wedding anniversary?

You were invited to the first wedding anniversary, and you are wondering what to give to dear people? In this case, be sure to choose something original and always in the interests of the spouses. If you don’t know anything about the preferences of the newlyweds, present an original souvenir. Also as such a special gift can be:

bed sheets
aprons
heart shaped pillows
Appliances
family portrait of spouses
gifts for newlyweds

Of course, if a couple has the same interests, then choosing a gift is not so difficult. Also, for 1 year after the wedding, it is customary for spouses to exchange gifts. At the same time, it is not so important what the price of the gift is, it is much more important that it be presented from the heart and with attention. So for women, an original gift for a wedding will be an expensive perfume or a vacation ticket. A man will certainly appreciate the gift according to his interests. If he is fond of fishing, feel free to give him fishing accessories. Or maybe he loves football? Then please with a themed souvenir.

In the first year of the wedding, it is not so important what gift you give to your dear person, and what kind of congratulation it will be. It is much more important that you show attention and love. And what could be more important for loving hearts than understanding that your love is truly mutual.

1 year of marriage (chintz wedding) is the first small anniversary for a married couple. The newlyweds are still getting used to each other and living together. During this period, positive emotions and a demonstration of deep feelings are very important. In order for the first anniversary to be remembered for a long time, it is important to know what kind of wedding it is, what to give and how to properly celebrate.

What wedding

1 year of marriage is called a cotton wedding. According to ancient tradition, on the first anniversary it was customary to give cloth for diapers. At this time, the first-born usually appeared in the family, so such a gift was relevant. According to another version, the anniversary got its name due to the fact that the newlyweds had not yet had time to buy bed linen, towels and other fabric products. Some compare chintz with feelings in the first year of family life. The fabric is bright and colorful, but fragile.

Traditions

It is customary to celebrate the first wedding anniversary magnificently, but not in a restaurant or cafe. For this purpose, a cottage or a country house is better suited. A rich table is a sign that the newlyweds are waiting for a comfortable life, so it is not customary to save on treats. During the holiday, everyone congratulates the spouses and makes toasts for their health and well-being.

Previously, for a cotton wedding, the newlyweds themselves embroidered a cotton tablecloth, expressing their love for each other, but now this tradition is not so popular. Use as much fabric as possible to decorate the room. Tie a knot with a chintz scarf and hang it in a prominent place. This is a symbol of a strong marriage. Do not forget that the wife must wear a print dress for the celebration. It should be worn from morning to evening and removed only before going to bed. It is believed that then the spouse will have a happy family life. The husband puts on a shirt made of thin cotton fabric with a bright pattern.

On their wedding day, many newlyweds are given 2 bottles of champagne tied together. It is customary to open one of them on the first anniversary of marriage, and the second on the birthday of the first child. The drink is drunk with guests under the pleasant wishes and toasts of those present. There should be many guests at the celebration. Invite everyone you love and with whom you maintain warm relations. The more guests there are, the longer the newlyweds will live in happiness and harmony.

What to give your spouse

A few decades ago, for a cotton wedding, husbands received underwear made of thin fabric as a gift. Now it is also customary to give intimate gifts. A bathrobe is considered a very popular present. You can also order a T-shirt or shirt with an original pattern or a phrase that only spouses can understand.

If the holiday falls on the cold season, give your husband a warm scarf or blanket. Remember that the best gift is a handmade item. Sew your spouse an original case for your phone or tablet. Remember that many men love cars and everything connected with them. If your husband has a car, try making cushions for the salon.

What to give your wife

An obligatory gift for a chintz wedding to a wife from her husband is a chintz dress. The same gifts can be presented by relatives or girlfriends of the newlyweds, but not by men. Do not be stingy and do not stop at one present. Pamper your loved one with an elegant dressing gown or beautiful underwear. Binding to calico is optional these days, so consider options in silk or cambric.

When choosing a gift for the first wedding anniversary, consider the preferences of the wife. Some young women will find a cookbook from a famous chef a great gift, others will be indignant. Jewelry is a traditional gift from a man. If you decide to present the ring, then it should be thin, elegant and without a stone. In addition, collect a bouquet of flowers, a fruit basket for your beloved.

Give each other cotton handkerchiefs, during the celebration, say oaths and tie one knot at a time

Most beautiful ladies love to eat sweets. Prepare assorted chocolates or any other dessert for your spouse and pack it in a box decorated with ribbons. If you know exactly the tastes of your soul mate in perfumery, order a handmade perfume or soap for her. This is how you show your attention and care.

Young women are usually more romantic, so you can make a collage of joint photos, mount a video, write a song. Feel free to connect friends to the creative process, this will make the gift even more meaningful. Give each other cotton handkerchiefs, during the celebration, say oaths and tie one knot at a time. It symbolizes 1 year of marriage. Keep your handkerchiefs and tie a new knot every anniversary.

Gifts from guests

Close relatives traditionally give clothes for the newlyweds and children, bed linen, tablecloths, and curtains for a cotton wedding. You should not give large bulky bouquets, it is better to opt for elegant compositions of wildflowers. Distant relatives usually give textiles for the kitchen: aprons, potholders. Songs, poems and toasts are expected from friends and acquaintances, but it will not be superfluous to grab something from traditional presents.

Now the concept of a print wedding has been interpreted a little, so you can give everything that a young family needs: household appliances, dishes, decor items, furniture. If you are a creative person, come up with something original. For example, write a picture on chintz. This gift will be both traditional and exclusive.
