Traditional and modern anniversary gifts[edit | edit source]

In the United States, one can receive a greeting from the President of the United States on the 50th and all subsequent wedding anniversaries.
Anniversary symbols[edit | edit source]
Many anniversaries have specific types of gifts associated with them. These are often referred to as the 'traditional' and 'modern' materials for each anniversary.
Celebration and gifts[edit | edit source]
The names of some anniversaries provide guidance for appropriate or traditional gifts for the spouses to give each other; if there is a party these can be brought by the guests or influence the theme or decoration.
