A decade of marriage is a solid milestone, having crossed which the spouses showed extraordinary abilities to reach mutual compromise, become more flexible in relationships and not lose romance. The family became strong and elastic, like tin, and at the same time retained the tenderness and beauty of love, which the rose symbolizes. The combination of tin and roses, as male and female symbols of celebration, is traditionally present in the design of the entire 10-year marriage ceremony.
How to celebrate a pink (tin) wedding anniversary so that it leaves wonderful memories and charges the spouses with energy for their future life together?
Since this is the first double-digit anniversary of marriage, which not all couples can boast of, it is best to celebrate the event brightly and on a grand scale. But the option of celebrating it in a cozy romantic atmosphere alone with each other will bring fresh notes of novelty and the beginning of a new stage in the relationship into the life of the spouses.
In any case, the organization of a 10th wedding anniversary should be carefully thought out, taking into account accepted traditions and an individual approach.
If the couple decides to celebrate the celebration on a grand scale and invite many guests, you can order a cafe, be sure to invite the toastmaster. If the dimensions of the apartment allow, you can celebrate the anniversary at home. It is also worth considering the option of organizing entertainment for children, for example, by ordering the services of an animator or allocating a separate space for them, coming up with a fun scenario that includes entertaining competitions, decorations, dynamic games, funny scenes for the 10th wedding anniversary, for example, funny stories from the lives of spouses.
If you are lucky enough to celebrate a pink wedding anniversary in the summer, this is an excellent reason to organize a celebration in the lap of nature, for example, on the shore of a pond, in a country house, in the forest.
How to design a venue for a holiday
Style must be present in the decoration of the celebration. For example, you can come up with decorations in an aristocratic style, decorating the interior with elegant tin figurines, bouquets of roses, placing filigree pewter dishes on the tables, red and white candles in tin candlesticks.

Silver and pink tones go well together, as well as a more classic version of pink and chocolate shades. In this case, the husband can put on a tailcoat and top hat, the wife can wear a long luxurious pink dress and a hat. It would be a good idea to invite a live music ensemble to such a celebration.
Another option is a glamorous style in pink tones - a bright design with large bows, garlands, balloons, butterflies and heart-shaped wreaths of fresh roses. Here you can allow a slightly relaxed tone in clothing. For example, a pink handkerchief in my husband’s jacket pocket, a pink bow instead of a tie. The wife can decorate her hair with an elegant hairpin with roses or a miniature pink hat. Any attributes, such as rose-colored glasses, bows, hearts, angels and doves, will bring positivity to the overall atmosphere.
At a tin wedding, it is customary to recapture the events of past years.
Pink Anniversary Celebration - Balloon Decoration
You can decorate the interior with photo compositions from the day you met, wedding, family photos, providing them with comic captions.
Even if the celebration is planned in a cafe or outdoors, you definitely need to remember to decorate your home for the anniversary.
You can decorate your house with pink, red and white balloons, strew your bed with rose petals, and hang a large poster with a collage of family photos on the wall.
Of course, the interior should include a traditional bouquet of roses, which the husband would give to his wife. In addition, a large wreath of roses should be hung above the front door, which will protect the happiness of the young from unkind spirits. It should hang until the flowers dry, and then this herbarium should be stored for another whole year until the next anniversary.
Stages of preparation for a pink wedding
01.Purchase of a bouquet for the “bride” by the “groom”. There is no need to split hairs here: buy 10 roses of any color and 1 white. This combination is intended to symbolize love (red, pink, cream roses) and hope for a further happy family life (white rose). Other guests should also take into account the style of the event when purchasing bouquets.
02. We notify guests in advance that in addition to the bouquet and the main serious gift, it is advisable to bring with them some little things related to the “pink theme”: “Rose” air freshener, shampoo with a rose on the label, boxes with roses, pink soap, pink scarf , pink toys, etc. This will be useful later as competition prizes.
03. We notify guests in advance that there is a dress code: any, even the most insignificant item of clothing or accessory must be associated with a beautiful flower. For women, artificial roses look great in hairstyles, on dresses and even on suits. Men with roses in their buttonholes will look like real courtly gentlemen.
04. It would be great if the “young couple” at a real wedding 10 years ago had wedding baskets as accessories, and they were preserved. Baskets will look great as table decorations in the place where the “young people” will sit. You can elegantly arrange roses with short stems and 10 candles in them. You can put 2 bottles of champagne and arrange sweets. A still life of fruit would also be an excellent addition.
05.Don’t forget to order a cake or loaf decorated with culinary roses.
06.If you have time and available means, drape the wall with pink material and place on it two rings and the number 10, made of thick paper, cardboard or shiny dark pink or gold foil.
07.Also, if the “young people” don’t mind, prepare a pink veil for your wife and a living rose for your spouse’s buttonhole and at a certain moment “rite” the “young people.”
08.Whoever is responsible for the musical part of the event must select “pink”-themed songs in advance, both “pros” and “cons” for holding competitions.
09.Again, rose petals purchased in advance will come in very handy, with which you can shower the “newlyweds” at every opportunity.
10. It would be great if the number of guests mostly consisted of those who were present at the real wedding: you can organize a competition for the chronology of wedding events from 10 years ago.
11. It is assumed that a couple with 10 years of experience in family life, in a good situation, should have at least 2 children of a reasonable age. And, of course, they should take a direct part in their parents’ anniversary.
Let someone close to you invite the kids to secretly prepare some little surprise for mom and dad: a dance, a song, a drawing, a craft, a poem, a skit... It will be a very touching moment!
— 10 years have flown by so quickly! Time is rushing so fast that you can’t catch up. Well, it’s as if you didn’t have time to fully understand each other?
Really, you didn’t have time? Well, rejoice! Don't try this again. And is it worth solving it, the mystery called “love”?
(author's poems, you can use during the event).
Ideas for a scenario for celebrating a tin wedding with competitions
The beginning of the celebration is the most exciting episode. Guests line up in a corridor at the front door and, when the spouses appear, they are showered with rose petals from tin cups. Then the presenter presents the spouses with a box with tin rings , which they exchange, sealing the further union with a kiss. A comic scenario for holding a celebration can be organized by choosing a certain style, for example, cowboy, cartoon.
After the guests have drunk to the health of the newlyweds and tasted the dishes, the toastmaster offers them an entertainment program - dancing, competitions, and practical jokes.
Spouses can perform a dance, proving that their skill has not been lost over 10 years, but has even been polished. After this, the toastmaster gives the spouse a tin spoon, which he must hide in his pocket and put under the pillow in the evening. The wife is given a souvenir decorated with a pink flower.

Competitions for celebrating the 10th wedding anniversary should be organized taking into account all age categories of those gathered. For example, dance, suitable for young people - volunteers take to the stage and must perform a dance in a more original way to a certain style of music. The winner is chosen by the public.
For older people, you can organize intellectual quizzes. An interesting version of the competition for spouses - everyone writes on pieces of paper the most significant event in family life, and then the entries are compared, determining how much the spouses have the same priorities.
The holiday should be fun and liberate the guests, so various funny pink wedding competitions for the bride and groom are welcome.
“The Princess and the Peas” is a competition for the female half of the guests. The young ladies sit on chairs covered with pink shawls, under which hard peas are hidden. The task is to correctly determine how many peas are under the blanket.
“Guess your soulmate” - with their eyes closed, young ladies must find their spouse by touch from several candidates by facial features, and men, in turn, must identify their spouse by their hands.
Pink wedding is an anniversary
So, let's look at the various nuances and points that need to be taken into account for the competent organization of a pink wedding.
Symbolism of a 10-year wedding
In general, in every wedding, symbols play their own special role in conducting and celebrating the celebration. For the decade these are beautiful flowers - roses, as well as tin (old name).
Therefore, the names are appropriate: pink wedding and tin wedding.
Tin
Let's start with the symbol of the old name for the wedding - tin. This is a metal that has the properties of flexibility, softness, but at the same time sufficient strength.
Therefore, tin, like nothing else, is suitable for the role of a symbol of a ten-year wedding. It shows the need for a happy family life to have such qualities as flexibility, pliability, and willingness to compromise.
After all, in the absence of mutual understanding, it is impossible to create and maintain a family . With its strength, tin symbolizes the strength of relationships that have already been established over 10 years.
During this time, the spouses got to know each other completely: where it is better to make concessions, how to insist, how best to make peace after quarrels and how to avoid them. The characters have gotten used to it, all the tests are over, and the union is already unbreakable. This is a kind of male symbol of the 10th wedding anniversary.
Roses
Second big date symbol. Ten years is a long period of time spent with one person. But the couple is still young, which means romance and passion are still companions to this marriage.
Pink roses, evoking romance, are an exclusively feminine symbol of a wedding anniversary.
Pink wedding scenario
To begin with, we note that, like other weddings, each date is celebrated with its inherent “attributes,” or rather, symbols. On the 10th anniversary it’s roses or tin, or better yet all at once.
The main traditions of a pink wedding: according to ancient custom, the husband and wife on this day (and possibly after) should carry a tin spoon in their pockets. This is a symbol of prosperity, understanding and general well-being in the family. Roses and soft pink should also be present, at least in clothing.
Groom's clothes
It is better for a man to wear a suit in light colors, a pink tie will be a priority, and you can put a pink scarf in the chest pocket.
Bride's clothes
A woman will feel reborn and rejuvenated in a luxurious pink dress!
And guests can wear whatever they want.
Important: if you have children and they will be present at this celebration, then it is better to dress them in “your” style. After all, you are one family!
How to celebrate 10 years of marriage together after marriage
If it is not possible to organize a magnificent celebration, an equally impressive option would be to simply spend a pink (tin) wedding anniversary with your family at home or celebrate your tenth wedding anniversary outdoors.
Or you can organize a romantic dinner in a cafe or go on a trip, order an unusual service - an experience for two , for example, ride in a carriage with horses in aristocratic outfits, fly in a hot air balloon or go on a romantic trip on a yacht.

But a light romantic dinner should certainly be the highlight of the event and consist of dishes with pink and red accents. Fish: salmon, pink salmon, red caviar, meat with pink sauce, rose wine and champagne. Place scented candles in red, white and pink, turn on some pleasant music, look at photos and videos together, and go for a walk under the moonlight.
