Have you heard of the wedding anniversary yearly gifts tradition?

This tradition is not new, yet I was shocked to find a lot of people on my instagram hadn’t heard of it. While my brand tends to throw tradition out the window, this is super cute and easy to follow!

Let’s dive into the yearly wedding anniversary gifts below!

Year 14 Wedding Gift Revised

Year 14 is now renamed as an “Elephant” theme due to ivory being highly unethical.

Plus it is funny how bronze is listed twice, but I didn’t make this tradition up!

My marriage year is 2019, so at the time of writing this I am celebrating my “Leather” year!

Get you to your Gold Wedding Anniversary

This is one of my favorite lines growing up “Get you to your Gold” Meaning your 50th wedding anniversary!

I had heard it from my grandparents, and in movies. One notable scene was from Sex and the City when Charlotte married Harry!

While a lot of people use this also as a vow renewal party to celebrate the big milestone, I believe you can plan a party at any milestone.
