Wedding anniversary	Anniversary name	Anniversary Features
1 year	chintz wedding	Anniversary received this name only because this material is valued for its special subtlety, lightness, and transparency. This fabric is quite everyday, not expensive, but fragile: it is easy to tear and damage. It is compared to romantic feelings, because after one year of marriage the couple tries everyday life and often loses their feelings. At a chintz wedding, it is customary to drink a bottle of champagne, knitted at the wedding.
2 years	paper wedding	Paper is also a rather fragile material and that is why the second anniversary has such a name. Literally, you can compare marriage to paper like this: “It is strong when the “paper” is folded in several layers. This suggests that joint efforts, understanding and children strengthen the union of a young family and make it strong.
3 years	leather wedding	Our ancestors gave this anniversary such a name because at that time material such as leather was very valued and expensive. Compared to chintz and paper, leather is much stronger, which suggests that the lovers went through the difficulties of the first years of marriage and found harmony in which they built their happy life.
4 years	linen wedding	Linen fabric is considered a fairly noble and pleasant material, which is not cheap and is considered prestigious, having many positive properties. In the old days, ropes were woven from flax, and often the 4th anniversary of marriage was also called “rope”. Our ancestors believed that in the 4th year of marriage, the spouses should be given a test: tie them with linen ropes and if they get out of them smoothly, this is a good omen, symbolizing a long, happy marriage.
5 years	wooden wedding	The anniversary received this name for a reason. The tree has long been a symbol of fertility, and by the fifth year of marriage, the newlyweds must have a child. When two lovers have their first child, they literally “take root” and find a strong union between each other. The tree also symbolizes the house and furniture in which a young family finds comfort.
6 years	cast iron wedding	Cast iron is a fairly strong metal, but it is also symbolized by its fragility, because if you drop a cast iron thing, it will definitely have a dent that cannot be fixed. Likewise, a marriage at this stage of life remains strong only when both spouses treat each other with care.
7 years	copper wedding	Copper is valued as an expensive metal, but it is not considered and does not belong to the noble metal. For this reason, the young people understood how long they still had to live in harmony and understanding and try not to worsen their marriage.
8 years	tin wedding	Tin is a fairly strong and heat-resistant metal. These are the characteristics that a family has at this stage of married life. Tin, like both spouses, having lived for 8 years in harmony and harmony, are full of warmth and have perseverance.
9 years	faience wedding	Material such as earthenware has always been valued and always considered noble. It symbolizes family as something “pure, perfect and beautiful”, but fragile. Therefore, spouses need to be extremely careful to preserve their feelings.
10 years	tin wedding	Tin is a strong and flexible metal, symbolizing spouses as people capable of giving in and adapting to each other.

wedding anniversaries by year

List of wedding anniversaries by month

A wedding is such a significant event for newlyweds that it cannot be erased from memory , and they want to feel like they did then again and again. Well, this is a great opportunity for them to celebrate their mini wedding anniversaries.

The very first, or rather, zero anniversary (green) is the very day of marriage.

The week after it is popularly called honeymoon - how can one not remember the European tradition of a honeymoon , when the newlyweds go on their honeymoon!

Unlike the designation of wedding anniversaries by year, no names have been invented for the first 12 months of married life, so newlyweds can celebrate their green wedding on the date on which the marriage took place. Why such an anniversary is called green is quite understandable: a young family is like a green sprout , which is about to get stronger, grow and produce new shoots. That is why a green plant in a pot would be a wonderful symbolic gift.

Green plant for wedding anniversary

Green is a symbol of freshness (feelings), youth (family), and also inexperience. However, the latter has already lost its relevance in our time: often, before officially registering a marriage, a couple lives together for quite a long time, runs a common household, so she already has experience of living in a family, even without a stamp in the passport. And this is very good - there will be fewer disappointments, because the newlyweds have had time to properly study each other, and this will help avoid unpleasant surprises.

There are no rules about monthly anniversaries.

Whether to gather friends for a party to watch a wedding video or arrange a romantic evening for two - this is decided by the newlyweds themselves. By the way, they will be called that only until the first real wedding anniversary - calico. You can spend your anniversary in an unusual way with the help of small interesting details: order a heart-shaped pizza!

Table of weddings distributed by year from 11 to 20

12 years	nickel wedding	This metal also symbolizes the nobility, uniqueness and strength of the union, which has passed many tests and remained strong.
13 years	lace wedding	The number “13” has long been considered unfavorable, and in order to somehow brighten up this date, as well as distract everything negative from it, it was given the name “lace”, that is, symbolizing lightness, beauty, romance and fun.
14 years	agate wedding	Agate is considered an expensive stone, but at the same time it is not considered very expensive and is quite affordable. Likewise, marital relationships at this stage already deserve to be considered strong, but they still need to go a long way to achieve a high rating.
15 years	glass wedding	In addition to the fact that glass is a fairly fragile material that is easy to break, it is also a symbol of purity. At this stage of life, spouses acquire a fairly smooth relationship, transparent and strong.

According to ancient customs, it is not customary to celebrate 16th and 17th wedding anniversaries. If you study this issue in detail, it is almost impossible to find an unambiguous solution and a truthful source. Unlike other countries, it was bad luck for the Slavs to celebrate these dates and that is why they do not have names.

Customs and signs for a chintz wedding

From ancient times to the present day, some signs and customs associated with this date have been preserved:

It is believed that if a stranger is allowed into a house or apartment on a memorable date, then one of the lovers may decide to cheat in the future. The outsider in this case symbolizes the third wheel;
simultaneous awakening on the morning of a memorable date symbolizes the imminent birth of a child. Perhaps the girl is already pregnant, even if she does not yet suspect it;
the day before, omens advise changing your underwear to new, clean ones. In this way, peace and love will remain in the family;
if the day passed easily and calmly, then in the future the spouses will also get along with each other;
To preserve the strength of feelings, a couple can give each other chintz scarves, the edges of which are tied in knots. It is important to hide scarves in a closet or other secluded place away from prying eyes;
if guests are invited, it is important to pay attention to the first visitor. The man who came first symbolizes future material wealth. A woman promises an early pregnancy to her bride;
Orthodox couples are recommended to visit church, ordering a prayer service for each other and lighting candles for health;
if the couple decides to celebrate the date in a magnificent way, then they should invite close relatives and friends who were previously present at the celebration itself to ensure the stability of future relationships;
on the day of a chintz wedding, it is recommended to open the same bottle of champagne that the couple put aside at the wedding a year ago;
the couple is recommended to wear any clothes, but the material must be chintz;
If you give a couple socks or pants, you can increase the risk of them breaking up in the future.

wedding anniversary with name, table

List of wedding anniversaries by year

Wedding anniversaries are a wonderful occasion to look back at the path we have traveled together, remember all the good things that happened in family life, and draw a line under everything that darkened it. It is extremely rare to find couples who annually celebrate the corresponding wedding anniversary for 20-30-40 or more years. Most celebrate mainly round wedding dates or the most significant ones.

Living together

The table shows the names of wedding anniversaries based on the years lived together. The most frequently noted are the following:

5 years - a wooden wedding, which is considered the first real anniversary of a young family that managed to overcome all the crises of the initial period. A family resembles a strong and reliable wooden hut, so it is better to choose all gifts for this date from wood, for example, kitchen utensils (cutting boards, coasters, etc.), decorative items (photo frames, boxes, figurines, etc.), furniture ( table, stool) or tree in a pot.
10 years – tin (pink) wedding. The combination of symbols seems somewhat strange, but if you think about it, they characterize the two sides of the marriage. In the old days, many household items, comfortable and durable, were made from tin, and family life has become established and strengthened . Pink is a romantic color; he reminds that love in family life has not gone anywhere, it has simply changed and manifests itself differently. A 10-year anniversary will help you remember romantic love again.
15 years - a glass wedding - has deep symbolism. On the one hand, glass is very durable, try to cut something on it - nothing will work, except perhaps with a diamond. On the other hand, glass breaks very easily, and it is often impossible to glue the fragments together. A good analogy with family life.
20 years - porcelain wedding ; Porcelain, although seemingly fragile, is very durable and its beauty is admirable.
25 years - the silver wedding is perhaps the most famous anniversary. It is no coincidence that its symbol is silver, a noble precious metal. All the metals that symbolized previous anniversaries served as evidence of the strength of the union, but only silver symbolized its precious properties.
30 years - pearl wedding . After the silver anniversary, they are usually celebrated every 5 or even 10 years. Pearls with their delicate tints recall all the shades of feelings that once united a couple in love.
35 years – coral (linen, linen) wedding,
40 years – ruby ,
45 – sapphire wedding – all these anniversaries can be celebrated at the request of the spouses and their loved ones, but the real culmination will be
50 years – the golden wedding – is the most important anniversary in family life. If a married couple has lived for half a century, then everything has worked out for them. Noble gold symbolizes not only and not so much material wealth, but the value of family ties, when spouses feel like one, and their relationship has stood the test of time.
60 years is a diamond (platinum) wedding, which combines the symbolism of the most durable precious stone and the most expensive precious metal, and therefore does not require explanation why they appear in the name of the 60th wedding anniversary.
70 years – a blessed (grateful) wedding. Spouses who have lived together for an entire human life have something to thank fate for, because grace has descended on them.
75 years - crown , or second diamond wedding,
80 years – oak ,
90 years - granite wedding - all these dates emphasize the strength of marriage.
100 years - red wedding . A completely unique anniversary, which is probably celebrated only by a few. Since ancient times, the color red has meant celebration, joy, and fun; it also symbolized wisdom, love, vital energy, that is, everything that accompanied the life of a married couple for a century.

This is what a transcript of wedding anniversaries looks like. It makes you think once again about the value of family ties and the need to strengthen them, and will also help you when choosing a gift if you are invited to a wedding anniversary.

How are marriage anniversaries celebrated?

As a rule, all anniversaries of marriage require some kind of attention. The exception is those that are considered a bad omen to celebrate. The first five years of marriage are usually celebrated very vigorously: among friends and family. After these dates, the married couple solemnly celebrates only anniversary dates.

You can decide on the anniversary celebration based on the name of the anniversary itself, but this is not fundamental and does not have much significance.

The first anniversary, namely the “Cintz Wedding,” is always an event. It is customary to celebrate it with those close people who were present at the wedding itself: parents, witnesses, friends and relatives.

Not celebrating the first anniversary is considered bad manners and bad manners. On this day, one of the two bottles of champagne, which was associated at the wedding itself, is opened. It is customary to drink a second bottle with parents to celebrate the birth of their first child.
