60 years of marriage (diamond wedding) is a rare date, which indicates that the spouses spent almost their entire lives together. The anniversary is of great importance for the whole family, which includes not only children and grandchildren, but also great-grandchildren. An anniversary should be celebrated in the most solemn atmosphere. And for the holiday to be a success, you need to know what kind of wedding it is, what to give as a gift and how to celebrate properly.
What wedding
60 years of marriage is called a diamond wedding. Diamond is considered one of the hardest, most durable, beautiful and expensive stones on the planet. So a marriage of 60 years acquires special value.
A diamond wedding was a rare event even in ancient times, when it was customary to enter into marriage at the age of 13. Such a marriage was considered as unique as a large natural diamond in nature. Now it has become easier to preserve your health until these years, but maintaining relationships is more difficult. And if the spouses managed to approach this milestone, we can say with confidence that the family was successful.
By this time, the spouses can become a wealthy couple, accumulate wealth, raise children, take part in raising grandchildren and even great-grandchildren. The main capital is the love and warmth of loved ones, as well as wisdom and life experience. 60 years later, the marriage, honed by trials and overcoming them, cemented by love and preserved in the frame of respect for each other, shines like a cut diamond. Maybe the love of the spouses is not as passionate as it was 60 years ago, but it is strong enough and that makes it even more precious.
Congratulations on your diamond wedding
Congratulations on the diamond wedding, which you will say when honoring the anniversaries, should be saturated with warmth and love.
Wish the spouses:
- Many years that they can spend enjoying each other;
- Health, so that you have strength for small achievements;
- Warmth of soul;
- Internal energy;
- Balance and harmony.
Be sincerely happy for the couple who were able to overcome all the hardships and are now in front of you, albeit not as bravely as 60 years ago, but next to each other, holding hands.

How to celebrate
According to tradition, organizational issues related to the celebration of the 60th wedding anniversary are decided by the children and grandchildren of the heroes of the day. To celebrate this date, you need to choose a restaurant or cafe, gather friends and relatives, including distant ones, think over the program of the event, organize the serving of dishes and the festive decoration of the table. You shouldn’t put all these questions on an elderly couple. Surround the heroes of the day with honor, care, and respect. The only thing that is required of them on this day is to accept congratulations and gifts.
To create the right atmosphere, you can organize a party in retro style. Order a dress and suit. Restaurant tables can be covered with simple linen or vintage tablecloths, and black and white photographs of the spouses can be hung on the walls. An obligatory decoration of the table will be the wedding cake, which the husband and wife must cut together.
A festive table for the diamond anniversary can be organized at home: abandon the ceremonial table setting, but highlight the cutlery of the anniversaries, decorating them with rhinestones and crystals. Add beautiful capes to the chairs, hang festive garlands behind and, of course, surround the celebrants with flowers.
For a diamond wedding, set the festive table using light, sparkling shades.
What to cook for a diamond wedding?
Even if you are going to treat the anniversaries with their most favorite dishes, you must not forget that the holiday menu should not consist of spicy and fatty dishes. When compiling a menu, you need to take into account not only the wishes of the celebrants, but also clarify a number of products that they should avoid. A holiday treat can be dietary. Lean meat rolls with vegetables, fresh vegetable salads, pates, unusual fish and poultry dishes and a light side dish of vegetables are perfect for this. As for drinks, it is better to give preference to good wine and soft drinks.
You can delight your guests with homemade cakes or a special dish prepared according to an old family recipe. The main decoration of the table will be a real wedding cake, which can be decorated in retro style or decorated with edible gold. Rare varieties of tea can be an excellent addition to dessert. The festive feast should not be tiresome for the celebrants themselves.
Every wedding anniversary is an unforgettable family celebration, and a diamond anniversary is a rare opportunity for everyone to feel like part of a big family. Honoring a married couple, which has become a wonderful family tradition, is one of the most important family values. Spouses who have lived together for six decades, thanks to their wisdom, are irreplaceable advisers, excellent healers of the soul, the best teachers for grandchildren and a spiritual force that unites all generations of the family. Try to arrange a sincere and warm holiday for them, spend several happy hours with them, not forgetting to appreciate every moment of life.
Gift for husband
A gift for your spouse on your 60th wedding anniversary can be symbolic, memorable, or practical. Ideally, a gift in the symbolism of the anniversary should be encrusted with diamonds. This could be a watch, cufflinks, rings, a tie clip and other jewelry that is appropriate for a man, depending on his financial situation and preferences.
Diamonds are rare and expensive stones; few people can afford to give such a gift. Therefore, jewelry can be replaced with more practical things that will bring no less joy. A memorable gift will be your spouse’s favorite book in an early edition, a cigarette case with an engraved date, expensive whiskey in a beautiful flask. Among the appropriate gifts, we can recommend a classic suit, raincoat or scarf - provided that they are made of beautiful, high-quality materials.
Gift for wife
The best gift for your wife on her 60th wedding anniversary is a diamond. If your financial situation allows, then a ring, earrings, bracelets, or necklace with diamonds would be a wonderful gift, and would later become a family heirloom. The exchange of diamond rings will be a symbolic repetition of the wedding ritual.
In addition to jewelry of at least one carat, a worthy gift would be a piece of fur or an expensive coat, a rare piece of furniture, or a set for a hobby that the spouse enjoys. Any gift made from the heart and accompanied by a beautiful congratulation will be appropriate.
What do guests give?
The main burden when choosing gifts falls on the children, grandchildren, and sometimes on the great-grandchildren of the heroes of the day. You can give your parents valuable and useful gifts that they will remember until their next anniversary:
- Travel to Europe or a trip to the sea coast using the most comfortable transport.
- A large sum of money.
- Family portrait of the spouses.
- Album with family tree and family pedigree.
- Diamond jewelry that will become a family heirloom.
- Orthopedic mattress, rocking chairs, living room set and other new furniture.
- Valuable service or set of dishes.
If the guest does not belong to the family circle, then for the holiday it would be appropriate to give household appliances, home textiles, and expensive aged wine.
What gifts are customary to give for an oak wedding?
Gifts for 80th wedding anniversary should symbolize a strong and unshakable tree. It can be anything, the main thing is that it pleases the married couple. Birthday celebrants can give each other oak rosaries, which will be kept as a relic for posterity. As a gift from guests, you can choose the following options:
- Pieces of furniture made of oak, for example, shelves on the wall, a table, a chest of drawers, a wardrobe, classic chairs, antiques, will decorate the house and will be remembered for a long time.
- Interior decorations, wooden decorative elements in the form of boxes, mirror frames, figurines, paintings, carvings
- Textiles with the image of a wedding symbol, towels, wall panels, terry robes.
- The grandchildren can make handmade cards by gluing live oak leaves or acorn caps to them.
- Any other useful things, household appliances, a cozy carpet for the wall, slippers, that is, everything that will definitely be useful in the household and will be preserved for a long time.
It doesn't matter how expensive your surprise is. When presenting a gift, be sure to try to choose warm words, say them with love and care, and express your respect and respect.
