FAQs about first anniversary gifts

In this section, we'll answer your top questions about first anniversary gifts.

What is the first wedding anniversary?

Your first wedding anniversary occurs one year from your wedding date. So, if you got married on October 11th, your anniversary will fall on October 11th every year.

What is a traditional 1-year anniversary gift?

The traditional gift theme for the first wedding anniversary is paper. So, photos, stationery, letters, cards, and books are the most traditional gifts.

It's possible that the tradition of giving themed gifts for anniversaries dates back to Ancient Rome of medieval Germany, though it's been so long that historians can't say for sure. We can, however, date back the practice of giving paper-themed gifts to the 1859 edition of The Old Farmer's Almanac, which explains, "One month from marriage makes a sugar wedding; one year makes a paper wedding".

What traditions start on the 1-year anniversary?

Giving a wedding anniversary gift is by far the most popular 1st-anniversary tradition, but it's not the only one. The following traditions are also popular:

• Freezing the top tier of your wedding cake and eating it on your first anniversary
• Buying bouquets of carnations (as they symbolise affection)
• Investing in a keepsake item in yellow gold (like a gold photo frame)
• Watching wedding videos and reviewing wedding pictures

What should you give as a gift on a friend's first anniversary?

The modern gift theme is clocks. So modern couples often give each other watches, wall clocks, alarm clocks, and fitness watches.
