What to give your wife
Although this is not an anniversary date, it is a sacred thing to please your spouse, and especially on the 37th anniversary of your marriage!
Jewelry . On this day, you can give that decoration that your wife has long dreamed of. Earrings, ring, bracelet, chain, pendant - anything at your discretion and her taste. The main thing in this gift will be, so to speak, the wrapper. Present the decoration in a muslin bag.
Cloth . Previously, a piece of this material was given as a gift for the muslin anniversary. Muslin is a very thin and expensive fabric; in the old days, only aristocrats could afford clothes made from this material.
For example, muslin was the favorite fabric of Queen Marie Antoinette. So let your spouse feel like a special blue blood. Amazing blouses, dresses, scarves will delight her with their lightness. And from wool muslin you can choose a stylish coat or jacket with a vintage effect.
Muslin pillow . But not simple, but filled with aromatic herbs. Such as rosemary, mint, sage, oregano, lavender. In addition to the healing effect, the smell of herbs helps to take your mind off the daily hustle and bustle. Or perhaps he will mentally transport you to a happy childhood that smelled of hay and grass.
By the way, orthopedic pillows made from buckwheat husks will not only provide comfortable sleep, but also improve your health. You can make a pillow that has healing properties with your own hands.
37 roses . Although such an amount is, of course, not necessary. And what flower you choose is also not the main thing (tulip, narcissus, chrysanthemum). The main thing is to attach a note to each flower in which you write why you love your spouse. Words of love and gratitude will touch your bride to the core.
What to give your husband
If you decide to give something related to the symbol of your anniversary, it could be:
- tie or bow tie;
- business suit or trousers;
- shirt or T-shirt;
- summer hat, cap or panama hat.
Today, many global brands use muslin even when making shoes. So, if you prepare in advance, you can find your husband a suitable pair of sneakers, moccasins, boots, shoes or even slippers.
Give a floor lamp or table lamp whose shade is made of muslin. Every time you turn it on, your loved one will remember this solemn day.
What to give to friends
Your friends have been happily married for 37 years. And if you are among those invited, it means that you are close people to this couple. This is not a round date and the gift may not be as chic as for an anniversary.
- Souvenirs. Muslin wedding. And the birthplace of muslin is the Arab East. Therefore, you can safely choose a gift with an oriental theme. These can be decorative items: vases, boxes, ottomans, pillows, figurines, candlesticks, etc.
- Dishes with Arabic ornaments - cups, plates, teapots or bowls, made in oriental style.
- Home textiles. An excellent gift for a muslin wedding would be bed linen. Although you can give pillowcases, sheets or duvet covers made from this material separately.
- Napkins. On this day, give a set of napkins decorated with embroidery or lace.

An appropriate and stylish wedding anniversary gift for parents would be muslin scarves decorated with their initials. There are such handkerchiefs with blanks in stores, so you can put in your own work and make such a gift unique. Rest assured, parents will appreciate a handmade gift.
- Curtains. Curtains made from muslin fabric are popular all over the world. They won such love back in the mid-17th century. And today, using new technologies, drapery and design skills, curtains made from such material can become an elegant and sophisticated gift.
- Tablecloth. Today there is a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors of tablecloths. With such a gift you will emphasize how much you love to gather together at the same table. Spending time with parents in the family nest.
- Homemade figurine made of fabric. It can be sewn in any shape - in the shape of a heart, bride and groom dolls, or, for example, a dove. Choose the color and design of the figurine that will organically fit into your parents’ interior. It can also serve as a talisman of their family happiness or a symbol of their eternal love.
Congratulations and competitions for spouses on their wedding day
If you have the makings of a host or are simply a creative person, you can organize a holiday for a married couple. To prevent congratulations from turning into a series of standard toasts, diversify the evening with fun games and competitions. Of course, this will require perhaps minimal, but still preparation. But you will make sure that this day leaves pleasant memories for both the guests and the heroes of the occasion.
You can come up with a game as a congratulation, in which everyone present will be involved. For example, divide into two teams and arrange a quiz “Who knows the spouses better!” Come up with an odd number (11, 13, 15) of questions about the newlyweds, for example:
- what day of the week did you get married?
- what city did you sign in;
- where did you meet;
- date of marriage (quick reaction question);
- what the weather was like that day;
- how many days have the newlyweds been together?
- how the groom proposed.
And so on in this spirit. The team that gives the most correct answers will win. In addition, this will push the newlyweds (and maybe the guests) to pleasant memories of what kind of wedding they had. Be prepared for the fact that there will be a person who will say: “Everything was wrong, but listen to how!” And you will be plunged into a half-hour monologue. But this is the story of the newlyweds. And comic disputes and disagreements on this matter will remind them of the wedding fuss.
Such a competition, if you wish, can be held for the knowledge of the groom separately and the bride separately. By the way, let spouses also certainly participate in such competitions. It will be interesting who will be the first to guess that borscht is the groom’s favorite dish - the bride or a school friend?) Well, this is of course a joke! Choose any questions and have fun from the heart.
You can make a daisy flower with 37 petals out of paper and, in turn, each guest will write a congratulation or wish for the newlyweds. You only need to write one word. Then the spouses will see what they want most - health, love, or prosperity.
I would like the eyes of the newlyweds to shine with happiness, tenderness and love today, just like on that beautiful day. Gifts are a small contribution to family comfort, but they are made with great love and from the heart. I wish joy to the newlyweds and a wonderful evening to all those invited!
Interim anniversary
You will be surprised, but 37 years of married life is not only a muslin, but also an aluminum wedding. More precisely, this is the name of the date 37 years plus 6 months from the date of marriage. This holiday is another reason to gather in a close family circle. He seems to be saying that you shouldn’t wait a whole year to remember how dear spouses are to each other.
Since this date is intermediate, gifts on this occasion are usually small and playful. For example, the “groom” and “bride” are dressed in crowns made of foil that imitate aluminum. Sometimes an impromptu wedding ritual is arranged in the form of an exchange of “aluminum” rings.
You can give aluminum products to the celebrants on this day: a saucepan, a frying pan. And so that it doesn’t look banal, you can engrave them. Another option is candy in foil.
37 years of marriage is a date that deserves respect and admiration. You should try to capture this day in your memory for a long time, and original themed gifts will be a wonderful addition to pleasant memories.
13 years: what a wedding, what they give, congratulations
