Celebrating a wedding anniversary is a momentous event, and should be celebrated in royal fashion. Whether you are celebrating a 25th silver anniversary or you've spent your lives together and are entering upon your 50th year of marriage - we congratulate you on your lasting love. Did you know that in the United States the president will issue you a greeting for any wedding anniversary greater than 50 years? How cool would it be to display this as a framed decoration at your anniversary party? It is common for gift types to be assigned for each year of marriage. Did you know the tradition of giving certain gifts for anniversaries originated in medieval Germany? It is believed that couples were given silver and gold wreathes to mark these special occasions and to congratulate them on their good fortune of being together for so many years. Over time this list expanded to offer gifts that corresponded with each stage of married life. The current gift list, which assigns a gift type for each anniversary year was established in the 1930's by the Jeweler's Association.
