Traditional 1st Anniversary Gifts
Why give certain materials as gifts for a 1st wedding anniversary?
The Traditional Anniversary Gift List suggests paper for a 1st anniversary. Why paper for a first anniversary? Paper is a somewhat fragile material. Paper is fairly common and also inexpensive, which is often a good thing for a young couple just starting out.
Your married life is just beginning. So perhaps it’s a blank sheet waiting to be written on… The paper anniversary is often celebrated as the first major milestone of marriage.
The Modern Anniversary Gift List suggests another possibility for a first wedding anniversary... a clock. One possible reason for this choice is the obvious association with time. Though the wedding might be the official beginning of marriage, the first year anniversary marks the first milestone over time..
So if you go this route, you might literally get a clock, or possibly a fashionable watch.
