40th Wedding Anniversary

-- 40th Wedding Anniversary --

Congratulations on celebrating your 40th anniversary with the person of your dreams! Anyone who has been married for forty years will tell you that a good marriage takes work; and a little romance never hurt anyone either! Whether you’ve been romantic each and every day since before you said “I do,” or the word romance is completely foreign to you, an anniversary is a wonderful time to say “I love you” in style!

Ruby Red 40th

Rubies are the stone of choice for the perfect 40th anniversary gift! A ruby will look stunning on her wrist; on her ears, or dangling from her nick. If she is a quiet elegant woman, choose something subtle – if she likes things a little flashier, don’t be afraid to go for the “bling!” For him, ruby cuff links will make a stunning addition to his formal attire!

Forty red roses are a romantic gesture that will encompass the color of the ruby and the romance of the day! The traditional flower to mark a 40th anniversary is nasturtium so ask your florist to include some in this bouquet! Continue on with the “red” theme and choose ruby colored paperweights, décor, or lingerie for the love of your life!

Out to Eat

If you love steak, this is the year to indulge in a delicious fine steak – cooked “red,” of course! Or, if you’re more in the mood for an Italian feast, head to your favorite eatery to enjoy pizza, spaghetti Bolognese, and a fine cappuccino! Whether you opt for steak or Italian, either meal will be accompanied wonderfully with a nice bottle of ruby-red wine! Opt for a bold, robust wine to celebrate this wonderful occasion!

Romantic

Forty years together is something to celebrate! For this anniversary, why not combine a holiday with a party and invite the family to join you on a vacation? The possibilities are endless! Depending how many people are involved, you might travel south for an all-inclusive holiday. Or, consider renting a condo in a sunny locale where the kids can come and join in the fun. Travel through Europe can be difficult as a group, so it’s ideal to choose a “home base” where people can come and go. Be sure to have one night as your 40th wedding anniversary party, where you can enjoy being together surrounded by your family!

For the Happy Couple

If a couple near you is celebrate this wonderful occasion, consider treating them to a gift certificate rather than purchasing a gift. It’s just as thoughtful, and they will be able to choose something they love! Gift certificates for specialty shops, local eateries, spas, or bookstores make great gifts. Tuck it into a card and be sure to include a thoughtful note about how happy you are for the couple!

Celebrating a 40th wedding anniversary is a wonderful excuse for a party! Consider putting together a surprise slideshow for the couple, highlighting the years of their marriage! They will be delighted and it will add a wonderful element of surprise to any occasion!

Congratulations on your 40th wedding anniversary, and may there be many more to follow!
