What are the names of wedding anniversaries?
Before we get into tips for experiential gifts, let's recall the names of the most celebrated milestones.
- The first year you'll have a cotton wedding, and the following years you'll have paper, leather and floral weddings.
- After 5 years, you celebrate a wooden wedding, and the 10th anniversary is called a tin wedding.
- If you stay together for a few more years, you can celebrate a crystal (glass) wedding after 15 years together and a porcelain wedding after 20.
- The 25th wedding anniversary is called a silver wedding, and after 30 years the anniversary is called a pearl wedding.
If you want to know all the names of wedding anniversaries year by year, check out the wiki where you can find them in nice order. We're now moving from numbers to tips on how to celebrate the day properly.
Tips for action-packed wedding anniversary gifts
You jumped into marriage together, a commitment that still means something even today. So what if, on the anniversary of this day, you jumped into a proper adventure together once more?
Such bungee jumping from a 62 m high bridge in tandem is a great attraction for all adventurous souls. When the clouds are over the relationship, you'll remember that you've handled this adrenaline rush like nobody's business, so you won't even be upset by a fight.
If you'd prefer a less extreme adventure, rent a yacht and enjoy a day or maybe even a straight weekend on a sailboat to see how awesome you can be and complement each other.
How to celebrate your anniversary in the most romantic way?
Do you have a favourite place that you share memories of? Take a bird's eye view. For the most romantic views, take a private hot air balloon ride in the low evening sun to paint the landscape in the most beautiful colours.
But even a scenic flight in an airplane or helicopter offers romance. It may not be as quiet, but you will fly higher and further.
And you prefer to keep your feet firmly on the ground? Go for a romantic stay in a log cabin, where your own hot tub awaits you. If you want to feel like royalty, we recommend celebrating your anniversary with a stay in a castle.
Wedding anniversary gifts that even the most demanding gourmets will appreciate
Love goes through the stomach, that's not news. So how about popping in for a bite to eat as part of your anniversary celebrations? A five-course sushi menu at a renowned restaurant sets the bar pretty high. Or just make a reservation at your favorite restaurant and don't look at the money.
Such a feast can only be topped by a cooking course where you not only eat the goodies together, but first prepare them with love.
A wedding anniversary celebration full of comfort and pampering
It doesn't matter if you're looking for a way to celebrate your first anniversary or if you're celebrating 10 or even 20 years together. Either way, you'll enjoy a wellness retreat. Get ready for a whirlpool, sauna and relaxing massages. At Adrop you'll find tons of wellness getaways in the Czech Republic and abroad, just choose the one you both like best.
If you have a taste for unusual experiences, we recommend trying a beer spa. There, you'll immerse yourself in a healing blend of beer cultures and vitamins, plus you'll have unlimited amounts of the golden liquid on tap for internal use.
Learn something new with every year you spend together.
The time you spend together creating value is not only fun, but deepens the bond you share. So how about learning to blacksmith, rock climb, or dance together? Or maybe check out a YouTube tutorial on painting and create a collaborative piece to hang on your wall.
So do you know how you' ll celebrate your wedding anniversary this year? We're sure whatever experience you choose, you'll both be thrilled!
