Traditional
wedding anniversary gifts: Comparison with modern wedding anniversary gifts
In
the past traditional wedding anniversary gifts were selected based on the
number of years the couple is married.
Each
wedding anniversary was given a specific name to identify and recognize the
number of years the couple are married. Traditional wedding anniversary
gifts were selected mainly from the material the anniversary was named
after. For example the traditional wedding anniversary gifts for the first
wedding anniversary for a couple would be made of paper or paper based
material.
As
years passed by, the traditional wedding anniversary gifts were replaced by
more modern anniversary gifts and a list comparing the traditional wedding
