Frequently asked questions

What are the traditional anniversary gifts by year?
There's a long-standing tradition of associating each wedding anniversary with a material or theme, intended to inspire gifts — starting with paper (1st), cotton (2nd), leather (3rd) and wood (5th), building through tin (10th), crystal (15th) and china (20th), to the big milestones everyone knows: silver (25th), pearl (30th), ruby (40th), gold (50th) and diamond (60th). There are both 'traditional' and more 'modern' lists, and they vary between countries and sources, so treat any chart as a fun starting point rather than a strict rule. The themes are a lovely prompt when you're stuck for a gift — you can take them literally, interpret them loosely (a 'paper' first anniversary could be tickets or a handwritten letter), or use them to theme a celebration.
