1st Anniversary~ The tradition for one year wedding anniversaries is celebrating with paper such as gifting a card with a wedding photo book, a collage of your first year of marriage together, or perhaps a romantic poem. It is not only helps your wallet but these paper gifts are reminders of moments and words of affirmation that you can keep forever.

5th Anniversary~ Traditionally the gifts are made from wood or silver. Wood may sound odd but think of the cool furniture pieces, picture frames, or wood golf clubs that you can find!

10th Anniversary~ Celebrated with tin. What a great excuse to have a little wedding anniversary party or getaway. Pick up some tin vases and bowls for a small gathering and have some fun celebrating your marriage with close friends and family.

15th Anniversary~ Crystal. Think of the gorgeous crystal flutes and glassware you can toast with on your 15th anniversary.

20th Anniversary~ After 20 years of marriage it makes sense to celebrate with something unique like china. However, you could always take it more literally than china plates and take a trip to China for an unforgettable vacation.

25th Anniversary~ Silver. Silver is an easy find for girls such as stud earrings, bracelet, picture frame, champagne glasses with silver base, etc. For guys, a silver watch is always a good bet.
