60th Wedding Anniversary
-- 60th Wedding Anniversary --

Celebrating and choosing gifts associated with a sixtieth wedding anniversary is such a wonderful occasion! Whether you are celebrating with a couple you are close to such as parents or grand-parents; or planning something special for your spouse, picking the right gift is important. Queen Victoria began the trend of celebrating a sixtieth anniversary when she celebrated her “Diamond Jubilee.”
Diamond AnniversaryTraditionally, the value of gifts increases with each year of marriage, so it’s no great surprise that the sixtieth wedding anniversary is celebrated with the stunning diamond. If you are choosing the perfect gift for your wife, opt for a ring, necklace, bracelet or brooch accented with beautiful diamonds. If you are purchasing a gift for a couple, you might choose a beautiful silver frame accented with Swarovski crystals or rhinestones for a luxurious look and feel.
Diamond WhiteGifts can also be diamond white in color – look for luxurious sheets or towels in a stunning white color. If planning a celebration for a 60th wedding anniversary, consider using diamond white as the main color, accented with glittering rhinestones. Diamond white table linens will help to create an elegant ambiance. There is no classic flower associated to the 60th wedding anniversary as there is with other anniversary years. Instead, choose a different flower for each decade of marriage! Centerpieces and bouquets can be made up of white flowers in various types; or choose multi-colored blooms for a fun and more playful ambiance!
Sentimental GiftsOne lovely way to celebrate an anniversary with a couple is to put together a “time capsule” from the year in which they were wed. Imagine the couple was married in 1952. Find popular music, movies, and imagery from this era! This can be a fun project to work on with children or grandchildren. Other sentimental gifts could include framed photographs from the couple’s younger days, or gifts made out of special photographs. These days, nearly any item can be personalized and customized. Keeping in mind that many people of this age do not wish to accumulate more “things,” choose gifts very thoughtfully. Consider a basket of food (making sure you are aware of any dietary restrictions), such as preserves, crackers, and cheeses. Or, give the couple a gift certificate to enjoy a night out on the town – dinner and a movie, theatre tickets, or a sporting event.
Get RomanticWhy not learn a new skill and then surprise your partner on your anniversary? Voice lessons can be a marvelous new hobby, and your partner will be shocked when you surprise him or her with a rendition of your wedding song on your sixtieth anniversary! You could also practice a new dance together to show off to your friends and family. Consider renewing your vows if you have not already done so – what a wonderful example to set for the younger people in your family! A love poem, a love letter, or even a simple promise can make this day even more wonderful than you imagined! Being there for one another over the past sixty years is an amazing thing to celebrate! Congratulations on your 60th wedding anniversary!
