Celebrating wedding anniversaries is one of the obligatory family traditions. However, round dates are known to many, but others are often forgotten or do not consider it necessary to celebrate them. For example, 21 years of marriage. Noisy celebrations are indeed not always appropriate, but for the couple itself it is important to remember and appreciate every year lived together, exchange symbolic gifts, and know the traditions.
Wedding anniversary 21 years: what is it called, its features
The symbol of this date is opal. This is a durable and beautiful mineral, resistant to any external influence. After these characteristics, it becomes clear why he was chosen as the symbol of this anniversary.
However, with this gem, not everything is so simple. It is believed to have its own negative energy and can contribute to conflicts between people. However, in certain situations the stone “behaves” in exactly the opposite way.When there is mutual respect between people, they are tolerant of each other, they know how to calmly resolve problems without leading to scandals and quarrels, that is, they spread positive energy around, then the stone shows its best properties and becomes a family amulet.
The magnificent appearance of the mineral requires proper care. Otherwise, it becomes dull, uninteresting and gradually collapses. The same can be observed in family relationships. If spouses do not pay attention to each other and do not compromise, then their life turns into a series of quarrels, and feelings “fade” and gradually disappear.
How to celebrate 21 years of married life, what to give
It is believed that it is better to celebrate an opal wedding with those closest to you. Ideal - just the two of you. Only a year ago the porcelain anniversary, which required pomp and mass participation, died down. And it is better to celebrate this date without numerous guests and pomp. It is believed that the more calmly and privately a couple spends this day, the more harmonious and peaceful their life together will be in the next year.
Even if this number is not round, this wedding date is a significant milestone for any family. Therefore, it is worth celebrating it by presenting memorable gifts.
Options for gifts that spouses will exchange with each other
When choosing gifts for any wedding anniversary, it is important to consider the date symbol. Opal is an inexpensive stone, so various jewelry and accessories with it will not make a big dent in the family budget. And this criterion is also important for many.

How to please parents at an opal wedding
Children should take care of a useful, pleasant and symbolic gift, regardless of whether the date will be celebrated in the family circle or the couple will prefer to spend this day together. The gift can be presented both before and after the holiday.
An original solution would be a joint portrait of the spouses. This can be a traditional painting or created based on a photo. Such a gift must be taken care of in advance.
Wall mounted watch, decorated with opal, will decorate the interior and will remind you of the event for a long time. A vase or figurine made from this stone would look appropriate and symbolic as a gift.

The gift does not have to be material. You can give tickets to an event or vacation packages. A gift that is not related to the symbolism of the holiday will also be pleasant and will allow the spouses to unwind, escape from everyday worries, and change the environment.
An excellent option is not to buy products with opal decor, but to make a present yourself, decorating it with a stone.It can be purchased separately and used, for example, to decorate a photo album or frame made using scrapbooking or other techniques.
It would be appropriate to give any gift that takes into account the wishes or hobbies of the spouses. To support the symbolism of the holiday, you should accompany it with a bouquet, but not necessarily of flowers. You can make it yourself or order a composition of sweets, other products - fruits or meat delicacies. Or use inedible products as “flowers”. The main thing is that there should be 21 of them - as many as the spouses lived, as they say, in love and harmony.
