A guide to the first 5 years of Wedding Anniversaries

Most people may be familiar with silver, gold and diamond wedding anniversaries as milestones to celebrate but for many newlyweds and couples still in their first few years of marriage, then every anniversary is something special. They may be lesser known but each anniversary has its own theme and a traditional material attached to it.

If you are looking for traditional gifts to celebrate an anniversary then keeping to the theme of each year is a great way to show a bit of extra thought and make the occasion truly memorable with gifts that can be kept and treasured for a lifetime. Here is a quick guide to the first five years of anniversary occasions with a few gift ideas to help make your celebration plans even easier:

1st Wedding Anniversary - Paper
Nice and simple for the first wedding anniversary, with paper being the theme of the first 12 months. While it may sound a simple enough theme it also means you can be as imaginative as you like with your gifts. Handmade cards and personalised paper items can be as beautiful and special as you can make them, with special pictures or photo albums from your first year of marriage together making for extra special gifts. Gift Ideas for Two has a number of great gifts that fall under this theme such as membership packs and tickets to a show or attraction.

2nd Wedding Anniversary -  Cotton
While this may not be high on the bling factor, cotton is the second wedding anniversary theme and, as with paper, there are many beautiful examples out there for you to buy or make for your loved one or for a married couple in your life. Try extra special luxury bedding or emblazoned cushions for your marital bed, decorative cotton hearts or even some new threads to wear. See our range of his and hers pillow cases for gift ideas on this anniversary.

3rd Wedding Anniversary - Leather
Plenty of women will surely be relishing the arrival of their third wedding anniversary as the theme is leather – for many that can only mean two things, shoes and handbags! Leather jackets, wallets and purses or other stylish items are another option, or if you want to avoid the fashion route then leather-bound photo albums will help keep your treasured memories for years to come.

4th Wedding Anniversary - Flowers or Fruit
The traditional themes in the UK for the fourth wedding anniversary are flowers and fruit, although in the US linen is the theme which is often adopted by people on this side of the pond as well. But if you’re looking to keep it traditional with your anniversary gifts then sumptuous fruit baskets and a luxurious bouquet of your partner’s favourite flowers are a good way to start. Or for a more meaningful gift idea which will last even longer and hopefully flourish as your marriage grows, try planting your own flowers or fruit trees for something which should bear fruit in your family home for years to come. For some inspiration please see our range of bouquets and fruit bearing trees.

5th Wedding Anniversary - Wood
Five years of marriage is a solid start to your life together so what better symbol for your fifth wedding anniversary than wood? This solid and dependable material is not only practical but can be beautiful too. Keep an eye out for wooden sculptures or artwork that your partner will love, special wooden picture frames will make a perfect anniversary gift or splash out and treat yourselves to some new wooden furniture for your marital home. One of the best gifts we have for this special occasion is a wonderful range of gift trees. More than just a great gift they can be very symbolic as the tree grows in tandem with your blossoming relationship.
