What do you give for first wedding anniversary?

Paper is the traditionaly gift for a first year anniversary. When my husband and I were married for a year he took one of our wedding photos down to someone who sketched it onto a piece of paper (black and white of course) and then he had it framed. It still hangs in our house. It was a creative way to give something that involved paper, and to keep it nice through out the years.

I WISH THAT I COULD HELP YOU WITH THAT.  MY 7TH IS COMING UP SOON ALSO.  ALL THE LOVE THAT YOU CAN GIVE, IS WHAT I TOLD MY HUSBAND,  LOVE DOESN'T COST A THING. (HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO GET ME EITHER.) HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO YOU.

If you have the time, create a gift with 40 items. If you have lots and lots of time, find something that will remind them of every year. \n\nFor example, if they went on a honeymoon someplace, try and get a postcard of where their honeymoon was. Year 2 could be a sketch of where they lived, or a toy model of the car they had at the time. For the year they had a baby, see if you can find something from that baby, same with drawings or pictures their kids had made.\n\nThis doesn't have to be something they have to keep, rather it's just a little treasure box of memories. If you'd prefer to keep it really easy and space-saving, look for one special photo from each year, scan the and then create a cd picture album.

Gift Certificates are always nice...\n\nBut my favorite wedding present that I got was a crystal vase from friends of my grandparents, whom I had never met.\n\nGet them something nice they can put on their mantle... or a nice antique mantle clock.

This friend obviously shares a special connection with you, but the focus of a wedding present should be the couple in question. This gift isn't the time to express your gratitude, that should wait for another moment the two of you can share. If this person has helped you alot, take time out to honor this separately like with a dinner, balloons, or flowers with thank-you gift certificates. For a wedding present, try to think of something the two of them can share or won't realize they need until later. Spa treatments together are wonderful and come in different price ranges; I found that my favorite wedding gift was a good set of sharpened (not serated)kitchen knives; or you can be inventive and give them a special plant cutting or "wedding tree" for their garden.Good Luck:)

You can make his favorite meal from scratch.  Do everything homemade.  Have a quite candlelight dinner just the two of you. Eat your top layer from your wedding cake if you had one (or go get a small wedding cake if you didn't).  Enjoy a quite romatic night together.  Tell him how you have treasured the year together recalling certain memories.  The wonderful homecooked meal is your gift to him; as well as letting him know that you have treasured the memories this year.

If this is for a wedding anniversary, you should talk about both people...how you know or have witnessed their love for each other...how their love inspires you.  Say something funny & somethings sincere.  \n\nIf it's for his anniversary at the church, you could point out what impact he's made on the church...what it was like at the church before him.\n\nThere are some samples here that you can see:\nhttp://www.weddingspeeches.us/?id_category=98&PHPSESSID=9f542fe8f233907789ba6d45f1229967

Me and My huband will be married 1 year this sunday. I bought him what he wanted and that was a pair of boots. If i was you i would ask him what he really wanted that is not real expensive and dont let him know what you are getting him. Just something to tell him that you love him and that is all that matters. Good Luck!!!!!

for destination wedding the best thing to give would be a gift card or certificate. because you don't want to buy a large gift and having to carry it on the plane with the hassle and then for them to bring it back so your best bet is a gift card, and you can put what ever you want on it but let it come from the heart. never give to get give for a blessing.\n  make sure that you have fun.

Some of the people who answered obviously didn't know you are 15 and short of cash!  You said it's your 'anniversary' but which one?  Month?  Three months?  Six months? Year? If it's a year, I think you should do something special.  If you can't afford a dinner out, can you go to a market, get some chicken and salad, and go for a picnic? \n\nI would give her a small gift, something she can treasure for a long time.  I like butterflies so I have lots of them in all shapes and sizes and I appreciate people who add to my collection.  Does she like something too?  Unicorns? Ladybugs? etc. Or you could start a collection for her.  Tell her that she reminds you of a .........  and give her a little ..........  (butterfly, ladybug, angel, etc.) \n\nDoes she like fancy chocolates?  They can be very expensive but sometimes you can buy just one or two. (hedgehogs, for instance). And balloons are usually a big hit!  Maybe you can find a lovely card too. (or make one) Remember to tell her that she is very special to you......  :o)

According to Hallmark...Wedding Anniversary gifts are specified for each year up to the 15th.  After that, it basically gives something specific for every 5 years, 20th, 25th, etc. The 20th traditional gift is China and the Modern is Platinum.  The 25th traditional is Silver and the Modern is also silver.  I suggest a personalized engraved item or some type of jewelry (A new watch?). It really depends on the likes of the person. An engraved beer mug, a lighter, pen set or desk set.  Also, don't forget a great dinner somewhere. Maybe there's a show coming to town or concert and you could also get the tickets in advance  (Or give an IOU when they go on sale) and put them in a card. Whatever you do, enjoy yourselves.  It's not just about material things. Oh, and CONGRATULATIONS on keeping it together this long.

get him a jersey of his fave football or basketball player...if he doesn't like sports and is sappy you could pick 2 stars right next to eachother and name them after the two of you...i think it's like $150 or something like that...i think that it just so romantic but you can't do it unless he's the kind of guy who appreciates things like that. good luck and happy early anniversary!!

oh my goodness, I love this website. It has helped me out so many times! Check it out!\n\nhttp://www.lovingyou.com/\n\nOr, you could do something with the traditional sixth anniversary gifts... iron or candy. \n\nThere was once that I wanted to do something really special for my husband and I came up with all these ideas. First of all I hid a card in the car telling him that when he got home, it was going to be very special. \nI had the house decorated really cute with balloons and crate paper, my two year old loved helping me with them!\n\nI wrote him a love letter explaining why he was so important to me and wrote it on very pretty stationary paper.\nI bought some fake rose petals and put them in a hot bath, then shared the bath with him along with a nice bottle of wine.\nI made him his favorite dinner along with his favorite dessert and went on a picnic with him... (your kids would probably love this, especially if you go to a park, depending on their ages)\n\nThere are so many things you can do to show him how much you care for and love him without having to spend a lot of money!\n\nGood luck!

I suggest a half/half compromise. Spend half the day out, eat at a nice cafe for lunch and enjoy the sun somewhere quiet. Later in the evening, stay home, order in and ------ (you fill in the blank).\n\nHappy Anniversary =D.

I know you don't want to break the bank, but one year anniversary???  It's gotta be a little more special than that!!  I'm sure she's expecting more.  It doesn't have to cost much to be special!  A love note would be awesome, tell her in it how much she means to you and recall some of the best times you've had this past year-talk about the year ahead and how you are so lucky to have her love, blah blah blah.  I married my high school sweetheart and I still have all of the love letters he wrote me!!  Get some special paper and a nice envelope, my hubby would do little doodles on the paper too, I thought that was really cute.  Think about it!!  Good luck!!
