Ten wedding years. Pink or tin wedding (10 years) How to celebrate 10 years of marriage

The chords of Mendelssohn's march died down and family life began. Each year binds the spouses more and more tightly, which is emphasized by the names of the wedding anniversaries: chintz, paper, leather, linen, wood... And in 10 years, what kind of wedding will the married couple have? And how to celebrate this day so that it becomes the starting point of a new, even happier period of marriage?

The ten-year anniversary of marriage has two names. The first option is romantic: a pink wedding. The second is more brutal: tin. And this is symbolic, because the first ten years, passed hand in hand, is already a serious period of testing a relationship for the strength and at the same time flexibility inherent in tin, and for the ability to maintain romance and passion, which symbolize beautiful roses.

Rose thorns are considered a symbol of disagreements, disputes and any other troubles that a husband and wife have overcome in the process of “grinding in” their characters. They approached their first family anniversary as more tolerant, able to negotiate and make informed decisions, respecting the opinion of the other half, and therefore truly loving, mature people. Of course, such a date should not go unnoticed.

Gifts for 10th wedding anniversary

How to celebrate the first 10 years of marriage depends on the choice of the spouses. Whether it’s a quiet evening for two or a reason to gather all your family and friends, the celebrants of the day should not be left without gifts. Expensive exclusive or budget symbolic - with the right choice, they are equally capable of pleasing a married couple and remaining a reminder of the first round date of family happiness for many years.

The double name of the first family anniversary significantly expands the scope for imagination when choosing gifts and congratulations. The definition of “pink” is associated with both the royal flower and the color pink, and “tin” requires a similar embodiment in the material from which the gift item is made.

So there can be any number of ideas here - humorous, practical, original, but most importantly - deeply symbolic.

Gift for wife from husband

This is an excellent reason for a man to conquer his wife again, showing all his tenderness and care, especially if for some reason this has been lacking in the relationship lately. A gift for a wedding anniversary is an expression of gratitude for all the good things that happened during the past part of life’s journey.

Roses should be an indispensable accompaniment to a gift. It is believed that there should be 11 of them in a bouquet for such a day. This is a symbol of ten years lived and a happy future, which is certainly ahead of a couple who has successfully overcome the first serious milestone. Therefore, the 11th flower in the bouquet should stand out with its brightness or dazzling whiteness. The remaining 10 roses may or may not be pink, the main thing is that they match the color preferences of the spouse.

The ideal gift for a woman on such a day is jewelry with stones of any shade of pink or red. Such a gift will emphasize the solemnity of the moment and will remind you of this day all your life. You can also choose a quite elegant decoration from tin.

A worthy reminder of this event in the future can be a box presented by the spouse in a pink design or tin design.

There are as many ideas for gifts for your loved one in pink colors: from a car to a scarf. The choice depends on the budget, the desire to surprise, knowledge of the needs and desires of the spouse:

• digital technology (cell phone, pink casing);
• cozy terry robe;
• quality wallet;
• table lamp, etc.

The first anniversary together is also a worthy reason to repeat the honeymoon. Such a gift will impress any woman and bring a lot of unforgettable impressions to the couple.

Gift to husband from wife

Men can also receive jewelry as a gift, if we are talking about cufflinks, a ring, a tie pin or a cigarette case with discreet red or pink stones.

Options for tin as a gift for a loved one are also varied; their choice depends on preferences, which, over 10 years of marriage, of course, have become well known to a loving wife:

• chess set with tin pieces;
• personalized spoon, cup or beer mug with engraving;
• souvenir tin soldiers;
• camping set of dishes.

Even if what one partner, according to the other, wants to receive as a gift, does not fit into the pink or pewter design, you can give it as a gift without fear if you design the packaging in the “pink anniversary” style.

For example, a gift certificate to a certain store can be presented to a loved one in a beautiful envelope with roses.

Tin is not the most common material for gift items, but if you think about the wedding anniversary of your loved ones in advance, you can easily find:

• elegant figurines, candlesticks and other interior items;
• cutlery;
• glasses, mugs, cup holders;
• trays, plate stands;
• amulets with symbols of family and marriage.

Metal objects can be equipped with an anniversary or personal engraving - this is always nice. However, the choice of gifts in the theme of roses and pink is much wider:

• a large family photo album or an expensive photo frame;
• home textiles (towels, tablecloths, bed linen);
• blanket, blanket;
• painting;
• dishes, vase, etc.

You can give, in general, any gifts if you pack them in accordance with the occasion, decorate them with a wreath of roses or a miniature flower arrangement.

How to celebrate a tin (pink) wedding

For some, a candlelit dinner for two is enough to feel the mystery of a special date, and that’s wonderful! But many still prefer to share their joy with family and friends, inviting to a pink wedding both those who were with them on their wedding day and those with whom fate brought them together during their family life.

It is even possible to re-register a marriage at the registry office. This will not be marked with a stamp in the passport, but a storm of feelings is guaranteed.

In addition to a home celebration or an evening in a restaurant, this could be a trip to nature, going to the theater, going to the cinema or bowling, or a barbecue in the country. The main thing is a festive mood, and it will be created by the appropriate surroundings with a predominance of pink color or the same elements in the clothes of the “newlyweds” and guests, as well as in the interior (tablecloths, napkins, decor).

The couple can even spend the evening again in wedding dresses, but in pink tones. And a lot of fresh roses in bouquets, garlands, and compositions are simply irreplaceable for the atmosphere of this day.

And even the treat must at least partially carry the symbolism of the event: rose wine, meat with pink or red sauce, salmon fish, sandwiches with red caviar or ham, rose jam and, of course, a wedding cake with cream roses - the menu can be adjusted following a flight of fancy. And the table setting will be successfully complemented by tin items.

Entrusting the evening to the toastmaster or doing it on your own is actually not so important; in both cases, the main thing is sincere joy and a common desire to make this day bright and heartfelt.

Congratulations for spouses

Just like on the same day 10 years ago, guests wish the couple happiness and give gifts. This ceremony is usually held at the beginning of the wedding evening. Guests need to take a responsible approach not only to choosing a gift, but also to the text of the congratulations. It should not be banal, hackneyed, incorrect and must concern exclusively this couple.

It is important to emphasize that this first anniversary means successfully overcoming the most difficult period in building a strong family. Now the spouses fully understand and accept each other and are ready to move on with their loved one.

Congratulations can be either oral or beautifully written. It could also be a wedding poster, photo collage or a humorous collective wall newspaper, to the creation of which each guest will have a hand.

Comic competitions and quizzes on how spouses know each other will diversify the course of the evening. And you can end it, according to wedding tradition, with a romantic dance of the heroes of the celebration.

Wedding anniversaries by year - features of the celebration

Table 1: Wedding anniversaries and their names by year

Year	Wedding anniversary name	Peculiarities
Marriage Day	Green *	It is called that because the family is still immature, so to speak “green”. The young people still have a lot to go through, and the main thing is to create strong bonds of marriage and live for many, many years. Flowers are the symbol of a wedding, which is why they decorate the wedding venue and subsequent celebration. Flowers should also be included in the bride's bouquet and boutonnieres.
1 year	Calico	Another name is gauze. And this came from the nature of married life in the first year. In fact, in the first year of marriage, the spouses began to get to know each other better, and their family connection was more like a thin fabric, like chintz. Another definition of the name speaks of the too active intimate life of a young couple, which leads to the thinning of cotton linen to the state of gauze. On the first anniversary, you should drink light alcohol: wine, liqueurs, and you should drink champagne left after the wedding. It's better to celebrate outdoors.
2 year	Paper	Paper is also a fragile object, which is why the second year of marriage got its name. Only by being together do spouses create a strong union; it is advisable to have offspring by this time, which will further strengthen the family. It's better to celebrate outdoors.
3 year	Leather	The symbol of the anniversary is leather; it is already a more durable material. Marital relationships at this stage became stronger and more durable. It's better to celebrate outdoors.
4 year	Linen	Another name is rope or wax. It’s not for nothing that flax has become a symbol of four years of family life. It symbolizes wealth, purity, and strength of family ties. You can celebrate your anniversary however you want. Linen is a durable material. After all, the couple lived together for 4 years, they learned to listen and hear each other, which means they are ready to continue their journey hand in hand. If an anniversary is being celebrated, then there must be a linen tablecloth and candles on the table. In the old days, it was believed that on the fourth wedding anniversary, you need to weave a rope from flax and tie the hands of the spouses with it. If they get out of it, then the marriage will be long and happy.
5 year	Wooden	The first round anniversary of the family. Wood is a durable material, which means that relationships have acquired their steadfastness and strength. By this time, the couple probably had a child, and perhaps already have their own home. There is such a sign that on the fifth anniversary of the family, a husband and wife must plant a tree. This will become a memory for their descendants, and will also “root” the union.
6 years	Cast iron	This material becomes the first, durable, metal symbol of family ties. Many years of living together mean that the relationship has some weight, it is important to you. But this does not mean that relationships can be left to chance; if you drop a cast iron product, it will break, and so will relationships. Any misunderstanding, understatement and troubles can destroy a marriage. And a good attitude, love and respect will strengthen it. A cast iron wedding also symbolizes a strong home.
6.5 years	Zinc	No matter how many holidays there are, they will always commemorate something. And the day when a new family was born has special significance for the spouses. It would seem that this is not such a holiday, but you can do something nice for yourself on such a day. This small holiday speaks of relationships as pure as zinc. A short vacation is arranged at home, with your closest relatives, or just to be alone.
7 years	Copper	Each anniversary is marked with certain symbolism. And this is all for a reason, the symbol speaks of the stage of building a family, the relationship between spouses. Seven years are marked by a durable and valuable material - copper. This suggests that spouses are of incomparable value to each other. The most important goal of the spouses for the future is to bring their relationship to a silver and golden wedding, that is, to make the relationship even more precious and stronger.
8 years	Tin	Your life together is 8 years, which is already a long time, but not so much that you forget about each other. This period of time allowed each other to get used to everyone's interests. Relationships at this stage enter a new direction. Family relationships at this stage are completely normalized, filled with warmth and understanding.
9 years	Earthenware	The concept of faience means a strong union. This means your relationship has become even more connected and strong. This material is not strong, so for the strength of family relationships you need to express all complaints to each other. Another symbol of the family’s ninth anniversary is chamomile, a homemade, summer and pure flower that blooms only in the warm season. This is a great symbol for family life, which also blossoms when you give each other warmth. Do not forget that a family is built on the brightest and warmest feelings.
10 years	Tin	In another way, this anniversary is celebrated as pink. Tin is a flexible material that is very suitable for family relationships, for strength, which need to be adjusted to the interests of the partner. But a rose means passion and love, which has been preserved for so long and has not yet faded away. This day should be celebrated on a grand scale.
11 years	Steel	Steel is a strong and durable material, which means family relationships should correspond to it. The married couple has already overcome the difficulties of the first years of marriage, now the spouses have become closer, closer and closer. This event is usually celebrated with family. Having overcome a journey of eleven years, the couple proved that their marriage is strong, resilient, as if like steel.
12 years or (12.5 years)	Nickel	Sometimes this date is commemorated with silk. Nickel means that the family life of a married couple has become stable, most likely they have their own home, a child, and even several. The family has already gone through many trials, but it remains like nickel, shiny, durable and strong.
13 years	Lace	The symbol of the wedding is the lily of the valley and lace. Both symbols are very gentle and reverent, exactly what should be present in both spouses. Lily of the valley indicates devotion and purity of marriage. Lace is characterized by sophistication, tenderness and beautiful appearance. The same can be said about the close connection between the spouses; it is like lace, just as tender and skillfully chiseled by both creators of the family. Despite the fact that the number "13" is unlucky, it has no significance for celebrating a wedding anniversary.
14 years	Agate	The symbolism here is agate, a hard and durable stone. It signifies longevity and health of husband and wife. On this significant date, the “young” must again confess their love for each other, and also talk about their innermost dreams and secrets. Agate is called upon to protect the family way of life. This day is usually celebrated in nature.
15 years	Khrustalnaya	Despite the fragility of crystal, this anniversary speaks of the strength of family ties, great love and mutual understanding between husband and wife. This date shows the purity of family relationships and the happiness of two loving hearts. There must be crystal at the holiday as the main symbol of the anniversary. At the celebration, husband and wife should exchange crystal glasses. Guests will be required to break a plate, glass or something else made of glass.

Peonies, hydrangeas, lilacs and roses are suitable for an anniversary.

Dishes for the festive table should be thought out in advance so that they fully correspond to the theme of the event.

The wedding cake will be the decoration of the holiday, and there is no limit to your imagination. Its design depends entirely on your preferences and the skill of the pastry chef.

Fresh flowers, confectionery pearls, and hearts located on the tiers of the cake will look original.

Cake cutting is a timeless tradition that becomes the climax of the event, so prepare for it in advance.

On this day you need to leave grudges and quarrels behind. And for the holiday to be a success, you need to know what to give and how to properly celebrate your marriage anniversary.

What wedding

10 years of marriage is called a tin or pink wedding. Tin is a flexible and pliable metal. These are the properties that folk wisdom attributes to spouses who were able to spend so many years together. Mutual respect, understanding, sincerity, trust, fidelity and the ability to find compromises make relationships strong and beautiful.

Traditions

Traditionally, a tin wedding requires the husband and wife to exchange rings made from tin or a tin alloy. The most romantic spouses engrave congratulations or vows on them.

On the anniversary day, the husband must put a tin spoon in his pocket, and in the evening put it under the pillow. Beliefs say that this will further strengthen the marriage union.

How to celebrate

Ten years of marriage is a real anniversary, which is usually celebrated on a grand scale. This is a worthy occasion to throw a festive feast, invite friends, arrange a photo shoot, learn a new mating dance and exchange vows. Witnesses must certainly be present at a tin wedding, or better yet, all those who were at your first celebration.

Event decoration

Since this is a pink wedding, flowers and their colors must have something in common in the interior design of the cafe and when choosing dishes. Roses can be used as table decoration with treats. They will look beautiful in the husband's buttonholes and in the wife's hands. The spouse can wear an evening dress in red or pink. The marital bed can be strewn with rose petals.

By ten years of marriage, many couples already have children by this time. They can also be dressed according to the pink theme and given baskets of flowers.

The festive dinner menu includes meat with pink sauce, red fish, and red or rose wine.

The table is well decorated in pink tones, which will fit perfectly into the holiday atmosphere.

Some couples don't like to celebrate anniversaries, but taking the time to celebrate is a must if only to take your mind off the hustle and bustle and mark a milestone in family life. On the eve of the tin wedding, you can sum up the decade, outline new serious plans and goals, mark them on paper, seal them in an envelope and close them for 10 years.

For example, choose a pink shirt from a famous brand or a tie in pink tones - provided that the color suits your husband. But there are also more democratic options: rose wine, rosewood photo frame. And if you are in a romantic mood, you can buy a set of pink lingerie so that you can appear in it in front of your spouse in the evening after the celebration.

Gift for wife
