Silver wedding is a 25-year anniversary from the day of registration of relations. This date can not be ignored, because lovers have lived together for a quarter of a century and this must be noted. The symbol of the anniversary is silver - a fertile metal that can absorb energy and disinfect water. On this day it is customary to congratulate the couple and give different themed gifts.
Traditions for a silver wedding
The anniversary of the wedding is full of traditions, which came from our grandfathers and grandmothers. On a festive day, everything must pass "according to the silver scenario," which was followed by our ancestors. The morning of the wedding should begin with a kiss, followed by washing, but not like on ordinary weekday, but special. Spouses should pour water together in a jug (it is desirable that it was made of silver) and take turns washing the water three times from the vessel, helping each other. The threefold ablution means purification for a new life. After washing, wipe clean with a clean linen towel. Pay attention to the water in the jug, at least a few drops. Place the jug on the balcony or on the threshold. The liquid will evaporate, and along with the drops will leave sorrow and difficulties.
Also on this day, exchanged rings of silver, as well as on the first day of the union. For greater originality, you can hold a new wedding ceremony, to call witnesses and guests. Kisses, toasts, a festive meal - it is worth remembering the wedding day and repeat it. You can arrange a surprise for a silver wedding and secretly from the couple to organize the ceremony, they will be very pleased.
Gift Ideas for a Silver Wedding
On the 25th anniversary, it is customary to present silverware. Before the triumph, it is advisable to consult with guests about gifts, to avoid repetition, or to develop and buy one thing, but a large and valuable one. There are several tips on what to give for a silver wedding. So:
- Functional household items from silver : sugar bowls, milkmaids, jugs, coffee pots, trays. Try not to give cups and figurines, as there is not much sense from them and they take up a lot of space.
- Products with engraving . Here you can include silver spoons and collectible silver coins. On the product you can engrave the wishes or the names of the jubilees.
- Jewelry : pendants, cufflinks, tie pins. Useful will be the rings that the couple will exchange on the day of the wedding. Pay attention to laconic products with a "smooth" coating.
- Silver icon . This gift will appeal to believers who attend church. The icon will protect the house from evil spirits and contribute to family well-being.
If you want to surprise a couple, then choose the original gifts for a silver wedding. You can order a portrait of a married couple in the studio, which will be inserted in the frame for silver. Also, the couple will be happy to go to a resort where they can relax from the bustle and enjoy each other in a relaxed relaxed atmosphere.
There are also neutral gifts without "silver themes". These are presents related to photographs (pillows, mugs, plates), collages with touching moments from the lives of lovers and the wishes of the guests. An excellent surprise will be a photo session for a couple . Adult people rarely pamper themselves with similar experiments, but after them there remains a lot of impressions and memories in the form of family photos. If you are doing needlework, you can embroider a portrait of the parents (printing a picture is done on a downloaded picture) or tie a thin lace tablecloth from thin threads. The main thing is to bring it to the point with the soul!
