Wedding Anniversary Gift List by Year

 
  Before getting married, a couple may reflect on the first day they met and their first date.  However, after getting married, you additionally reflect on the wedding day and the specific date the ceremony was held on.  This day, which recurs every year following the wedding ceremony, is called a wedding anniversary .  It is a day to celebrate the union and to toast to the continuance of a loving bond.  Many times, couples give each other a gift, as a sign of love and devotion.  Here is a list of gift suggestions for anniversaries.  The list is ordered by year.

    More about Gifts
  Besides the gifts, anniversaries are sometimes celebrated as parties or as a small get-together with the family.  Earlier anniversaries, like your first through tenth, are generally spent with your spouse.  One tradition that many practice is eating the top layer of your wedding cake on the first anniversary.  Later anniversaries, like your 25th or 30th anniversaries are often marked as a special family holiday with your immediate family and close friends.
