 It's an old custom to celebrate a wedding anniversary with a specific item. By presenting a couple with an item that matches the number of years of wedded bliss, you bring them good luck for another year. This tradition dates back to the Roman Empire when husbands presented their wives with a silver wreath on the 25th anniversary and a golden one on their 50th. It is now 2016, what sort of anniversary gifts do people give nowadays?

Most people associate a 25th anniversary as being the silver anniversary, and the 50th is the golden anniversary. There are also gift lists for every anniversary, something that anyone would love to receive, from the very first to the 100th. Ties 'n' Cuffs has personalized items that match many of the materials on the wedding anniversary gift list, you'll never run out of gift ideas.

Aluminum

After making it through the first year of marriage, the traditional gift is something involving paper. Typically, this isn't a big event, however. The ten-year anniversary is a larger reason to celebrate because the median duration of a marriage before separation is just under nine years.
