Every wedding anniversary is a joyful and significant event. After two years have passed since the newlyweds exchanged rings and said their vows, it is time to celebrate their paper anniversary. This is not an anniversary, and a very short period of family life. However, spouses who managed to maintain the union (even if only for two years) already deserve respect and their holiday. What’s a significant date without a gift? Let's figure out what to give the couple to make them happy.
What do you give for a wedding anniversary?
The choice of a present can be made, be sure to take into account what wedding date is being celebrated. The symbol of the festive event is paper. This material is associated with fragility and instability. The same can be said about family relationships. Two years is a difficult period. Spouses learn to make joint decisions, improve their everyday life, and get used to each other. Sometimes just a little trouble is enough to destroy, “break” a marital union.It is important to support them during this period, at least with a useful or pleasant souvenir and words of warm congratulations.
What do spouses give each other?
The correct choice of mutual gifts is also important. Gifts for your wife and husband will help demonstrate how dear your other half is and how valuable strong family relationships are.
When choosing a gift, it is important to take into account not only the symbolism of the event, but also the preferences and wishes of the spouse. Options for equally appropriate gifts for husband and wife related to the theme of the date:
- an elegant diary with engraving to suit the occasion;
- a book in exclusive design - provided that the recipient loves to read;
- certificate for receiving a service or purchase, completing an interesting course;
- a certain amount of money - paper bills should be placed in a beautiful envelope;
- a ticket to an event - possibly a joint one, if the spouses have similar interests and tastes.
It is also acceptable to give any other gift that matches your wishes or hobbies: a gadget, an accessory, a souvenir. Beautifully designed packaging or a stylish paper bag will help support the symbolism.
What to give to children
Two years of living together is not enough time to acquire everything necessary for a cozy and comfortable life. There can be a lot of gift options. Accompanying the main gift with a greeting card or a bouquet of cute or useful souvenirs in paper format will help to take into account the symbolism of the celebration. And the list below of possible gift options from parents will suggest a good idea:
- a small but useful or original piece of furniture: coffee table, pouf, wall shelf, laptop table, frameless chair;
- equipment that provides comfort, makes life easier and prepares meals: a heater or bio-fireplace, a robot vacuum cleaner, a juicer, a coffee maker, a thermopot;
- interior elements or decor: a stylish lamp, an alarm clock simulating a dawn, a wall plate with a memorable inscription, a bathroom curtain with a photo of the couple, a panel painting from joint photographs;
- dishes and cutlery with individual engraving;
- home textiles.
An appropriate option for a paper anniversary is money. The advantage of this choice is that it eliminates the need to guess what the heroes of the occasion will like. Having received a certain amount, the spouses themselves will decide what to spend it on. To maintain a festive atmosphere, it’s worth coming up with an original way to present banknotes:
- create with your own hands or order a money bouquet;
- make a rain of bills by bursting a gel balloon over the spouses, where they were previously placed;
- put the gift in a jar, decorate it beautifully and label it with the inscription: “Keep your money in the jar.”
Gift options for friends
The anniversary is not a anniversary, so there is no need to surprise the spouses with expensive gifts. It is better to choose an affordable but useful gift or an original, uplifting souvenir.
Special decoration will help support the symbolism of the wedding. Any item chosen as a gift must be presented in a package using as much paper as possible. For example, this could be the “cabbage” option, when the souvenir is wrapped in several layers of wrapping material. As a result, the object should resemble a head of cabbage.Or present a gift packed several times larger in size than a box, the space inside of which is filled with a large amount of colored corrugated or craft paper cut into strips.
Invitees can use the above recommendations for selecting a gift or make a choice from the following list:
- board game;
- calendar with family photos;
- photo album in author's design;
- genealogy book;
- theater or cinema tickets;
- puzzles depicting a happy married couple;
- small kitchen appliances that not everyone has (will make the cooking process easier for the hostess and will help to feed her husband and guests deliciously): waffle iron, yogurt maker, ice cream maker;
- unusual decorative items: a sofa pillow in the shape of two hearts, a table LED 3D lamp of the same shape, etc.
Any gift chosen taking into account the preferences of the spouses, stylishly decorated and accompanied by warm words of congratulations, will certainly be appreciated and will evoke pleasant emotions.
