It seems like only yesterday the signatures were put on the marriage document, and soon the silver wedding will be celebrated. But this will only happen in a year, but for now - after 24 years of marriage - it is worth celebrating another date - not an anniversary, but no less significant. What is the name of such a wedding and what is customary to give to the heroes of the occasion?
Wedding anniversary 24 years: what is it called, traditions and features
This day is called the satin wedding. Of course, the material chosen to name the anniversary was not a collection of geographical maps. The main characteristics of this fabric are its beautiful, truly luxurious appearance and durability. In addition, the material is smooth, pleasant to the touch, resistant to external influences, and can be stored for a long time without loss of aesthetic and performance characteristics.
The properties of the fabric can to some extent be interpreted to describe family relationships after 24 years of marriage. For marriage, this is, as they say, a significant period.Over the past time, almost every couple has overcome a crisis, or even more than one, because living together is hard work that requires wisdom, patience and daily work on oneself.
However, despite all the ups and downs of life, the couple maintained a “unit of society.” Their relationship is not afraid of outside influences, they are beautiful, like the fabric that gave their name to the wedding anniversary, filled with tenderness and a feeling of mutual respect. We experienced a lot together, including pleasant and joyful moments. The spouses learned to find compromises, that is, to smooth out the relationship (they became smooth, like satin).
Traditions
There are no special anniversary traditions or requirements for holding a wedding celebration. A mature couple decides how to spend this day: together or by inviting close relatives and friends. As a rule, it is not customary to organize a magnificent celebration. The date of 24 years can, to some extent, be considered as a rehearsal for the upcoming quarter-century anniversary.
Perhaps there is one tradition that is still worth observing. This is an exchange of vows as another confirmation of love and fidelity. You should make sure you have satin ribbons in advance. They need to bandage each other's hands after important words are spoken. You need to wear this accessory all day long.
Of course, you shouldn’t forget about the symbol of the holiday when choosing an outfit for the celebration, setting up the table, or decorating the room. If completely satin outfit If you don’t like it, then some small detail will be enough.
In the evening you should make your bed with linens made of luxurious fabric. You can take care of buying it or act “forward-thinking” - hint to one of your friends or relatives that you would like to receive a set for your anniversary.
What to give for a satin wedding
When choosing a gift for this anniversary, you should take into account the interests and preferences of the heroes of the occasion and not forget about the symbolism of the holiday.
To my husband
Choosing a gift for your husband associated with the symbolism of 24 can perhaps cause difficulties. What satin things or objects will a man like? A tie made from this fabric will be a good present, but only if the spouse wears a similar accessory and is not too conservative in his clothing. Pajamas? Yes, it is quite possible - again, if the spouse wears it.
The way out of the situation will be to present a useful and desired gift, and the embodiment of the symbolism of the holiday will be a satin ribbon. You can use it to bandage any chosen souvenir.
Another option for following the traditions of the holiday would be to use the number 24. You can order engraving of any item - a lighter, a wallet, a diary, a pen, a flash card, a flask, a watch, a mug or a thermal glass, etc. The choice is varied - you can certainly find an item that will please, bring benefits and at the same time will remind you of an important date.
Wife
Well, it will be easier for the spouse to choose a present for his wife for a satin wedding. Here are just a few of the possible gifts associated with the symbolism of the celebration:
- a set of underwear will not leave any woman indifferent;
- robe or pajamas;
- a bouquet of satin ribbons plus any other desired souvenir or decoration;
- clutch
If following the theme of the celebration is supported only by the use of a satin ribbon as a decoration, then the choice of present will be significantly wider.
An original and, of course, pleasant gift would be a certificate for a visit to a beauty salon, a concert of your favorite performer, or vouchers for a joint vacation, which can be enclosed in a handmade envelope decorated with satin elements.
An engraving option using the number 24 is also suitable for a gift to your wife. It can be applied to the following items:
- wallet;
- gadget case;
- dishes, kitchen utensils;
- decorations.
Parents
A good option for mom and dad on their 24th wedding anniversary would be to present a common gift. Although gifts for each of the heroes of the occasion are quite acceptable. How to please those closest and dearest? It is worth choosing a gift with love. No matter how trivial it may sound, this method can really help. As a general gift you can choose:
- bed sheets;
- handmade photo album with joint photographs;
- curtains;
- decorative pillows for the sofa;
- a lamp with a satin lampshade (it is worth considering the style of the interior);
- all kinds of decorative elements;
- a symbolic gift - a set of 24 items.
A good gift option for two would be a joint visit to an event, an excursion or a vacation trip.
As for individual souvenirs, it is worth taking into account the preferences and wishes of the couple. Jewelry is always a nice gift for a woman. It can be presented in a case decorated with satin. For a man, give him some engraved accessory or item that matches his hobby.
Don't forget about gifts that are made with your own hands. This could be a painting made from pieces of fabric, a self-made family album, figurines of spouses created from polymer clay, etc.
Friends
The best option would be a general gift. Ideas for gifts can be gleaned from the above - bed linen, decorative items, interior elements, 24-piece dinnerware sets, gift certificates, etc.
Presents must correspond to the theme of the celebration and be appropriate from the point of view of the preferences and hobbies of the spouses. It is not necessary to give an expensive gift - it is better to plan one for the next anniversary year for the couple.
