What should be given for 39 years from the date of the wedding?
Not every couple can celebrate the 39th birthday of their family. What is the name of the wedding, the "newlyweds" in which almost 4 decades go hand in hand through life? What are interesting traditions in honor of the holiday, and what to give the "newlyweds"?
What is the name of the anniversary?
39 years from the date of the wedding is an impressive time, especially in the modern world, where family foundations have been shaken somewhat. This anniversary of living together is called a crepe wedding, from the word "crepe".
A crepe is the name of a material that represents a type of silk fabric. Thanks to a special twist of thread, crepe fabric is particularly durable. Like any silk fabric, crepe admires beauty, nobility and, of course, has a high cost. Just like the 39-year-old relationship that the “bride and groom” could keep.
Another feature of crepe is its inability to crush, which can be deciphered as the stability of the union in front of minor troubles. However, it is necessary to make a big effort, and the matter will be torn - this means that the spouses need to carefully treat each other's feelings.
39 years from the date of the wedding - an impressive figure, a celebration that is worth noting. However, we must not forget that there is a big round date ahead - a forty-year anniversary. It makes sense to save money and energy for a larger celebration. So how do they celebrate and give for a crepe wedding?
As a rule, most couples prefer a quiet family gathering. They can be arranged at home or in a small cafe. A good tradition is the presence of crepe in the clothes of the "young" in the interior. A woman's dress can be made of crepe-chiffon, a man can pick up a shirt or tie from materials that are close in texture and color.
Tablecloth, napkins, curtains on this day can be made of crepe fabric. If their special purchase is impossible, it is enough to make small bows from the fabric to decorate the hall, to tie a bouquet of flowers with crepe ribbon.
What to teach parents?
Adult children can not only give parents interesting presents, but also arrange an unforgettable evening. Send your parents in the morning to the SPA salon, to your favorite movie in the cinema or walk in the park. In the evening, invite your friends home or to a restaurant, you can rent a country house or have a family gathering with a barbecue in the country.
Take all the hassle of organizing the holiday yourself - prepare the table, organize a festive program, take care of attracting a photographer to the festival, the presence of musical accompaniment. The apotheosis of the holiday can be a salute in honor of the "newlyweds".
You can do the opposite and have a dinner party. The worries and worries here will be the same - to make a menu, rent a cafe or cook your own meals, take care of the cultural part of the holiday. Evening, let your parents spend in the company of each other - present them tickets to the theater, to the concert. Another option - a trip to a sanatorium, a resort.
Each parent is happy with the success of children and grandchildren; at this age, a person especially appreciates the family, realizes its real importance. Especially by the way will come gifts related to this topic. If the family is large, and the parents are proud and know their ancestors, you can order a family tree. Today, more and more popular photo frames, representing a collage. Several photos are inserted into it at once.
It is possible for a couple of months the whole family to go to a photo shoot. Purchase all-inclusive packages so that professional stylists think through and embody the image of the beautiful half of your family. For the day of the crepe wedding photos must be prepared and printed. You can make one large portrait of the “young” and several smaller photos, where they will be captured with other family members. As an option - to prepare an album with these photos.
If parents love puzzles, and are happy to spend evenings at board games and in communication with each other, you can teach them a photo puzzle. Having collected it and having stuck together, they will receive own joint portrait. Such puzzles are made to order in photo printing centers.
Be sure to select a good quality snapshot as the basis for both parents. You can turn a puzzle and a photo from the day of their wedding, if necessary, by restoring it, and even making a color one.
To family gifts with meaning include rugs, lamps with lampshade, a fireplace. Today you can find a lot of electrical options that will be relevant and safe even in a small city apartment.
If the dimensions of the dwelling permit, a projector with a large screen can be presented to the perpetrators of the celebration. Of course, on the day of the holiday it’s worth looking at family photos on it. Transfer the existing old photos to the digital version, and if they are damaged by time, restore and frame them.
Household appliances, dishes and linens - these are the gifts that are relevant from children to parents. Repair in the apartment or in the country can be practical.
However, it is important to understand that your parents are people with well-established, conservative views. And outdated, in your opinion, apartment or villa, from their point of view, can be a cozy nest in which they do not want to change anything. Such gifts are still better to coordinate in advance.
People celebrating their 39th wedding anniversary often have grandchildren. Parents should bring them to congratulate the grandparents. Drawn postcards, a large poster with congratulations, poems and songs learned in honor of the holiday - all this will make the celebration truly soulful and warm and will delight the “newlyweds”.
Do not give parents presents, reminiscent of the disease. Even if they need a blood pressure monitor or apparatus for measuring blood sugar, it is better to simply buy them for no reason and not give them, especially in honor of the family’s birthday. Pets and houseplants are also not the best gift option, only if your parents did not ask you about it.
How to congratulate a wife or husband?
Traditional gifts for crepe wedding - fabric, not necessarily crepe. A spouse can present a beautiful dress or blouse to the wife, a wife - a shirt, a tie. Alternatively, you can go to the joint shopping or give your half a certificate. But let it be not a simple store in which you can dress in any other day. Choose the salon of clothes in which you can not always buy things because of their higher cost.
Jewelry is one of the most popular gifts that lovers give to each other. Earrings, rings, pendants, cufflinks - all this will delight your soul mate. The spouse can show himself as a “strategist”, and present his wife any jewelry, except for the ring, with a ruby. The fact is that in a year they will have to celebrate a ruby wedding, where, as a rule, spouses exchange rings with rubies. For a crepe wedding, you can donate ruby earrings, and in a year to complement them with a ring - you will get a set symbolizing the continuity of holidays, family relationships.
Universal, but no less useful for this, are donated perfume and cosmetics, shaving and personal care kits, ties and scarves, neckerchiefs, belts, wallets.
It is believed that on the 39th anniversary of marriage, spouses must hang a lock on the bridge, and throw the keys into the water. This event can be combined with a romantic walk with your soul mate, and, possibly, with guests. After performing the ceremony, after feeding your appetite, you can end the holiday in a restaurant or cafe.
In general, it is believed that the crepe wedding should repeat the celebration that was 39 years ago. You can repeat the wedding day, starting with a visit to the registrar or a walk around the city, continuing at a festive banquet and ending on the wedding night. Make sure the bedding is made of crepe.
Any woman is pleased to receive flowers. In honor of the holiday, a loving spouse can present a bouquet of 39 roses. You can choose a more modest composition, as an option - the one that repeats her wedding bouquet. Many women love seasonal flowers. If earlier it was possible to receive asters as a gift only in August, and lilies of the valley - in May, then today in January you can please your favorite bouquet of peonies or delicate primroses.
The main thing is to take care of the gift in advance by making the appropriate order in the flower salon.
Surprise ideas for friends
Traditionally, crepe sew clothes (usually female) and bedding, home textiles. The last 2 options - what you need for a gift to friends for a crepe wedding.
Choose beautiful bedding from crepe or natural silk of noble shadesthat emphasize the elegance of the fabric. A similar option - a set of tablecloths and napkins of crepe. If you are sure that you will guess with the style of the interior and the preferences of the owners, stop your choice on beautiful curtains from the same fabric.
An interesting idea - to sew to order for "young" kimono or dressing gowns in the spirit of Japanese national clothes. Why precisely kimono? The fact is that, by tradition, they are sewn from crepe.
However, you can not be limited solely to "crepe" theme. For family people almost always a pleasant and useful gift will be a set of dishes, household appliances, cutlery. You can emphasize the special character of the holiday by wrapping them in crepe paper or tied with a crepe ribbon.
Why not base the gift on a symbolic number - 39? Focusing on it, you can choose a "young" set of beautiful dishes, including 39 items - plates for the first and second, salad bowls, sets for tea or coffee. Such a service, of course, will please the owners of the house and the heroes of the occasion, and will be appropriate for the holiday.
If you give cutlery, it makes sense to engrave them. Even if friends already have similar sets, this one will be special, and will be transmitted as a family heirloom.
If the “young people” do not plan a magnificent celebration, then you can look at the “gulls”, taking with them wine, sweets, gift baskets with tea, coffee, dried fruits. In this case, the main gift can be a cake that can be decorated with edible figures, the names of "young" or other symbols.
Do not forget to present the bride with flowers. Given the age of marriage, the “bride” in it is a mature woman. As a rule, they are presented with bouquets of rich colors, emphasizing the beauty and wisdom of the ladies. These can be noble burgundy roses diluted with lighter colors.
