How to mark - script
38 years is not a “round” anniversary date.
This means that those whom they want to see nearby both on holidays and on weekdays are invited to the celebration. Colleagues and friends, relatives and friends who once witnessed the birth of a new happy family and who have been with the spouses for many years will gather around the table on this day. There is no need to organize a noisy feast in a rented restaurant hall. It is enough to invite your closest people to a country house or simply gather them in your apartment. To make a pleasant surprise for parents, their grown-up children think through a holiday scenario in advance, in which they will:
- competitions;
- quizzes;
- games;
- dancing;
- songs.
It is also important what the musical accompaniment will be. Surely parents are pleased to hear the melodies of the songs of their youth. From the very morning, the children and grandchildren of the “young” set the table and decorate the room, in which the music of past years is already playing. You can use balloons and paper garlands as decorations. A collage of photographs depicting the best moments of their life together will help surprise parents.
Here they post photographs of still small and already matured children, grandchildren, and the “newlyweds” themselves in different years of life.
To create a festive atmosphere, vases with a large number of flowers are placed in the room, a table is set and set, and a small coffee table is allocated on which gifts for the spouses from guests and loved ones will be placed.
If the heroes of the occasion do not want to celebrate 38 years of marriage at home or in a cafe (restaurant), but want to spend this day together, then the best solution and gift for them would be a trip organized by friends and relatives. Can't go anywhere?
You can always go on a picnic and have a holiday in nature, remembering those years when future spouses went hiking with their peers. Children decide to give their parents a fabulous evening? You need to book a room in a good hotel and after a festive dinner with your family, send the “young ones” there by calling a taxi or using a personal car.
At the holiday, guests at home will be entertained by the children and grandchildren of the heroes of the occasion.
They can always invite them to take part in various games, quizzes and competitions:
- Guess the melody.
- Who can sing better?
- The most beautiful couple.
- Original dance.
In between competitions, jokes and fun, guests sit down at the table, which always includes cold cuts of meat and vegetables, salads, meat or poultry baked in the oven. Guests will be delighted with a variety of desserts and, of course, a wedding cake.
It shouldn't be too big. The main thing is the original design.
What to give to parents
38 years of marriage between parents is an important event for their children. What should you give your parents on this special day? As a rule, large-scale celebrations are not held on such a date, but it is necessary to attend them and congratulate them. One of the following ideas may help you choose a surprise.
- Silver. Mercury, which is the symbol of this anniversary, is similar to liquid silver, so gifts made of this metal for a mercury wedding are considered quite appropriate. This can be either a set of cutlery or some paired decorations.
- Tickets. Parents will be very pleased to receive a couple of tickets to a movie, to a concert of their favorite performers, and maybe to dancing or bowling. A good solution would be to go with your parents - it will even be much more interesting and fun.
- Cover. On your mercury wedding day, give a dark red gift. For example, a dark velvet bedspread. An amazing present will combine both decoration and functionality.
- Sand painting. An unusual gift for spouses on their wedding anniversary. Sand spilling behind glass has a calming effect.
- Romantic evening. It is quite possible to organize a romantic evening for your dear and beloved people, for example, book a table in a restaurant or organize a small home celebration for this wedding anniversary.
38 years of marriage are very rarely celebrated brightly and magnificently; the anniversary takes place mainly as a romantic evening for husband and wife or in a small family circle. Therefore, for a mercury wedding, small gifts and sincere congratulations from loved ones are the most suitable option.
Dress code for the evening
This day needs to be celebrated in a special way, but is it really necessary to take your wedding dress and suit for your spouse out of the closet? Of course, this will be unnecessary. Dress smartly, in what makes you feel comfortable and attractive. If you take into account that this is a mercury wedding and it is worth celebrating accordingly, then select your wardrobe to match the color of the metal. Mercury is a light metal, silvery-white. Hence, choose your outfit in light colors. If you like a dress or suit of dark colors, dilute them with accessories. A woman can wear silver items: earrings, necklace, bracelet. For a man - a silver tie, or just a light one and add silver cufflinks.
Gifts for husband
It’s not difficult to choose a gift for a mercury wedding for your spouse. In this case, it is better to focus on his hobbies or interests. Here are a few ideas that you can use.
- Gadgets. Men love modern technology. You can present your beloved husband with a new smartphone or e-book.
- Jewel. Representatives of the stronger sex can also be given exquisite jewelry. Not necessarily very expensive. For example, you can present a tie clip inlaid with emerald, or cufflinks with tourmaline.
- Glasses. It doesn't have to be glasses. You can choose a spectacular accessory for working at the computer or a sun protection model.
- Souvenir. Give an anti-stress souvenir, which is very popular now. They believe that if you look at it for a long time, peace comes. The present consists of balls that are constantly in motion.
- Cloth. Shirts, gloves, and trousers are suitable as a wedding anniversary gift for your husband. Let their style echo the redness of the metal and its silver.
Gift ideas for husband and wife
Friends and relatives gather near the “newlyweds” on this day to congratulate them on their next wedding anniversary. All those invited to the celebration bring gifts, which are chosen long before the appointed day. They are also given to each other by those for whom everyone gathered at the festive table.
6 year wedding anniversary: how to celebrate, what to give
A man who, over many years of marriage, has proven his right to be called the head of the family, gives his beloved wife not expensive jewelry (although this is not forbidden), but original costume jewelry. This decision is made based on the fact that mercury is not related to precious metals, but it is the symbol of the 38th wedding anniversary.
When choosing a gift for his wife, a man remembers the properties of mercury. When heated, the metal changes color and turns red. Therefore, silver-colored metal products with red designs, ornaments, and patterns are in great demand among the heroes of the occasion. A gift for your husband would be a ring or a stylish wristwatch with a silver case and a reddish leather strap.
A barbecue or picnic set packed in a stylish leather suitcase will also please you.
Exchange of gifts between spouses.
A bouquet of red flowers for your wife is a good and laconic gift. These can be roses, peonies, daffodils, tulips and other flowers, depending on the taste of the wife. And instead of a traditional bouquet, you can give a chocolate, berry or fruit bouquet; strawberries strung on skewers and wrapped in beautiful themed paper are ideal. You can also opt for high-quality jewelry or silver items. Brooches, earrings, rings, bracelets - the choice is very diverse. We recommend presenting the decoration in a scarlet velvet box of a non-standard shape, in the shape of a chest or heart.
A wife can present her husband with a wristwatch, having previously placed it in a red velvet bag. Cufflinks or a silver tie clip would also be appropriate. If a man smokes, then he should be given a metal cigarette case or a custom-made silver lighter with an engraved inscription. In addition, you can present your spouse with the usual silver jewelry - a bracelet, signet, chain.
What to give parents for their 38th wedding anniversary? Health comes first!
Of course, the elderly couple is looking forward to congratulations on their family holiday and from their beloved children. And for the offspring, this is a great reason to thank their parents for their love and help.
At an advanced age, the most precious gift is health. Issue a gift certificate for wellness treatments in a medical salon: strengthening massage, special baths and other therapeutic procedures will strengthen the body and spirit of the “newlyweds” and extend their life for many more years. You can make a great gift from both your daughter and your son: buy your parents a ticket to a good sanatorium in the mountains, near a river or on the sea.
If the couple leads an active lifestyle and there are no medical contraindications, then a good gift would be a subscription to the pool, an invitation to a gymnastics course for the elderly or lessons at a dance club. Let your grandchildren also take part in preparing the gift. They can help grandparents easily adapt to new active activities.
If children visit their parents less and less over the years, you can give them a pet. But only after prior agreement with the heroes of the occasion!!! Otherwise, the gift risks turning into a heavy burden for the newlyweds. A kitten or puppy of a beautiful dark gray color will be very symbolic. Or even an aquarium with fish of the same mercury shade.
Symbolic gifts
Friends and relatives are sometimes lost and don’t know what to give for a mercury wedding. The first thought that comes to mind is a classic medical thermometer or balls with the number “38”. Meanwhile, mercury is translated from ancient Greek as “liquid silver,” so this meaning can be safely taken as a basis when searching for suitable gifts.
Spouses can be pleased with the following symbolic gifts:
- Small silver items. These can be paired rings
,
bracelets
,
pendants
or
pendants with the names of
the newlyweds.
Paired rings in mercury color with the engraving “Love Forever”
- Objects that quickly change shape.
intricately shaped
hourglass sand paintings
are perfect for this . - Things are red. Since mercury oxide has a dark red tint, the imagination of donors is practically unlimited. You can present your wife with a bouquet
of the desired shade, and your husband with a small
box
or
mahogany
pipe Miniature
mahogany
figurines frames for family photographs
of the same color would be a good gift. If your imagination has run out, then just pack the gift in dark red wrapping paper and attach a beautiful themed card to it. - Photo collages
. You can make them yourself on a large piece of whatman paper, pasting photographs of spouses from different years and providing them with humorous captions. It’s worth showing your imagination and ordering a family tree or an ornate family book bound in dark red.
A symbolic gift should not only be interesting, but also well made. You shouldn’t present it just to fulfill your duty as a polite guest. If you can’t find an interesting thematic gift, then it’s better to pay attention to practical items that are always needed in any home.

Practical gifts

,
a toaster
,
a pancake maker
,
an egg boiler
,

- these things will not break a hole in the donor’s budget, but the spouses will probably like them, they will constantly use them and remember the joyful date.
36 years, what a wedding, gifts for the 36th wedding anniversary, why isn’t it celebrated
Even when choosing practical gifts, do not forget about the theme of the celebration. If red items do not suit the decor of the spouses’ house or apartment, then you can present things in neutral tones, be sure to accompany them with a memorable inscription or embroidery.
A pancake maker is a convenient device for preparing perfect pancakes.
Original do-it-yourself gifts for the 38th mercury wedding anniversary: non-mercury gifts
Based on the name, it is not possible to give a couple a gift for their mercury anniversary with their own hands. Therefore, improvisation and imagination will come in handy. You can make it yourself and give it to your family for your 38th wedding day:
- A film for “newlyweds” about them. If you're good with video editing and Photoshop, just collect old photos, digitize the films and make a short film with the couple's favorite music.
- Photo collage . Frame photos of the couple in their youth (or with children and grandchildren) in beautiful frames and hang them on the wall as a reminder of a long, happy married life. Frames can also be decorated with your own hands using any available materials - shells, beads, buttons, stones, etc.
- Come up with a poem or song about the life of the heroes of the occasion, if you have musical and rhyming talents.
- Embroidered paintings with threads, beads or ribbons are always welcome. The couple will appreciate the extensive and painstaking work and will be happy to hang the decor in a prominent place.

The same applies to the works of other needlewomen. If you sew or knit, then you will never run out of gift ideas for relatives or friends - blankets, bedspreads, clothes and so on. Even the results of a hobby for decoupage and wood carving can please the “newlyweds” on their holiday. If only with thoughts of loved ones and from the heart.
Every anniversary of family life is a great reason for joy for the whole family.
Not many spouses manage to celebrate such a holiday for the thirty-eighth time. And although the mercury wedding is not a round date, and is celebrated modestly, let the gifts and attention of loved ones please the husband and wife, as on the very first day of their marriage. May you live happily ever after!
Gifts from relatives and friends
What to give to relatives and friends for a mercury wedding? Here are ideas for interesting gifts for the 38th anniversary:
- Tree of Happiness. The 38th wedding anniversary is a great occasion to give such a beautiful and modern souvenir! Its leaves are made of hematite, its structure and color are similar in appearance to mercury, and its leaves are like droplets of mercury. This gift is given as a wish for the best.
- Furniture. An excellent gift for a mercury wedding anniversary would be a desk chair. It will be made in a gray-red style and, possibly, with special embroidery of the spouses' initials or their pet nicknames.
- Lamp. A gift for a mercury wedding in the form of a fancifully shaped metal lamp will delight the spouses. To resemble metal, it will have streamlined details.
- Electronic frame. The spouses will really like this gift, because you can look at the photos without flipping through the albums. You can sit and enjoy the presentation.
- Embroidery. You can make a present with your own hands - embroider a portrait of the spouses. All you need is a photograph of the husband and wife together. When embroidering, you need to use silver threads, which symbolizes the color of mercury.
Surprises for the wife
The 38th wedding anniversary is a wonderful occasion to please your wife with a pleasant surprise. Your beloved wife will be glad to receive beautiful and unexpected gifts that will emphasize tender feelings.
- Valuable jewellery. Even though it may seem trivial, all women love jewelry. There is no traditional gift in this case, give free rein to your imagination. However, it is recommended to present ladies with silver jewelry with a red stone. You can choose something that suits you. A piece of jewelry inlaid with natural emeralds would be quite appropriate.
- pet. It's no secret that ladies of any age have a weakness for pets. If a couple lives in a city apartment, then you can please your wife with a cute and nimble kitten (you need to make sure that it is toilet trained). It is also currently fashionable to give exotic animals such as chinchillas. What sets them apart is that their fur does not cause allergies. Of course, such gifts should not become a “surprise” for the spouse; first, you need to discuss all the nuances of the appearance of a new “family member” in the house.
- Vase. You can give a large vase with silver patterns as a gift for your wedding anniversary. This can be a classic type or a variety with some exclusive form. And definitely a gorgeous bouquet of roses to go with it.
- Appliances. As a woman ages, it becomes more and more difficult for her to cope with everyday household chores. Therefore, a caring spouse can make her life easier by giving her an electric meat grinder, a modern vacuum cleaner or a microwave oven. These can be any necessary appliances - from a coffee maker and blender to a toaster or multicooker. It is better to choose models of metallic color.
- Pots for planting. If a woman likes to grow flowers, then silver-plated pots of different sizes would be a suitable gift. The wife will be very pleased with the gift.

Beautiful words to friends on their wedding anniversary
What is the 38th wedding anniversary called?
38 years from the date of marriage is called the mercury wedding, but few relatives and friends know what to give on this day. The symbolism of the day is not accidental. Mercury is a liquid metal that can take any form. Over almost 40 years of marriage, the couple got to know each other well, experienced both victories and defeats together, and had children and grandchildren. All this brought them closer, they began to understand and adapt to each other perfectly.
Since this anniversary does not apply to round dates, you should choose symbolic and practical gifts, without chasing the high cost.
