How many years are the silver and bronze wedding anniversary? Anniversaries by year
Celebrating your wedding on your anniversary is a fun way to mark one of the best days of a couple's life. Everyone celebrates differently, of course, but did you know that there is a tradition for gifts for each year of marriage?
In a tradition that can be traced back to the 1500’s, milestone anniversaries are often marked by gifting precious metals such as Silver or Gold. This then evolved in the 20th century to include a list for each year of marriage from year one to 20.
One of the most well-known of these is the Silver Wedding anniversary, representing 25 years of marriage. For this anniversary you could gift silver jewellery, a photo frame, an anniversary plaque, a silver themed gift hamper, or even a custom themed necklace.
So, if you’ve got a wedding anniversary coming up, your gift giving might be inspired by the below.
