What should be gifted for 39 years from the wedding day?
Not every couple can celebrate their family's 39th birthday. What is the name of the wedding, where the “newlyweds” have been walking hand in hand for almost 4 decades? What are some 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 period, especially in the modern world, where family foundations have been somewhat shaken. Such an anniversary of life together is usually called a crepe wedding, from the word “crepe”.
Crepe is the name of a material that is a type of silk fabric. Thanks to the special twisting of the threads, the crepe fabric is particularly durable. Like any silk fabric, crepe delights with beauty, nobility and, of course, has a high value. Just like the 39-year relationship that the newlyweds were able to keep.
Another feature of crepe is its crepe resistance, which can be deciphered as the stability of the union in front of minor troubles. However, it is worth making a great effort, and the matter will tear - this means that the spouses need to take care of each other's feelings.
The 39th anniversary of the wedding is an impressive figure, a celebration worth noting. However, we must not forget that there is a big round date ahead - the 40th anniversary. It makes sense to save money and energy for a larger celebration. So how is it celebrated and what is given for a crepe wedding?
As a rule, most couples prefer quiet family gatherings. 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 choose a shirt or tie from fabrics close in texture and color.
Tablecloths, napkins, curtains on this day can be made of crepe fabric. If their special purchase is not possible, it is enough to make small bows out of fabric to decorate the hall, to tie a bouquet of flowers with a crepe ribbon.
What to present to parents?
Adult children can not only present interesting presents to their parents, but also arrange an unforgettable evening. Send your parents to the SPA-salon in the morning, to watch your favorite movie in the cinema or a walk in the park. In the evening, invite your friends home or to a restaurant, you can rent a country house or arrange family gatherings with a barbecue in the country.
Take all the trouble of organizing the holiday on yourself - prepare a table, organize a festive program, take care of attracting a photographer to the event, the presence of musical accompaniment. The apotheosis of the holiday can be a fireworks display in honor of the “newlyweds”.
You can do the opposite and have a dinner party. The troubles and worries here will be all the same - to compose a menu, rent a cafe or cook treats with your own hands, take care of the cultural part of the holiday. Allow your parents to spend the evening in each other's company - present them tickets to the theater, to the concert. Another option is a ticket to a sanatorium, to a resort.
Each parent rejoices at the success of their children and grandchildren, by this age a person especially appreciates the family, understands its real importance. Gifts related to this topic will come in especially handy. If the family is large and the parents are proud and know their ancestors, a family tree can be ordered. Today, collage-like photo frames are becoming more and more popular. Several photos are inserted into it at once.
You can go to a photo session with the whole family in a couple of months. Buy all-inclusive packages so that professional stylists think over and embody the image of the beautiful half of your family. For the day of the crepe wedding, the photos should be ready and printed. You can take one large portrait of the "young" and several smaller photographs, where they will be captured with other family members. Alternatively, prepare an album with these photos.
If parents love puzzles and enjoy spending their evenings playing board games and communicating with each other, you can present them with a photo puzzle. After collecting it and gluing it together, they will receive their own joint portrait. Such puzzles are made to order in photo printing centers.
Be sure to choose a good quality photo with both parents as a base. You can turn into a puzzle and a photo from their wedding day, if necessary, restore it, and even make it in color.
Family gifts with meaning include blankets, lamps with a lampshade, a fireplace. Today, many electrical options can be found that are appropriate and safe even in a small city apartment.
If the size of the dwelling allows, you can present the heroes of the occasion with a projector with a large screen. Of course, on the day of the holiday, it is worth looking at family photos on it. Digitize existing old photos, and if they have suffered from time, restore and frame.
Household appliances, dishes and bedding are those gifts that are appropriate from children to parents. It can be practical to renovate an apartment or in a country house.
However, it is important to understand that your parents are well-established, conservative people. And an outdated, in your opinion, apartment or dacha, from their point of view, can be a cozy nest in which they do not want to change anything. It is still better to agree on such gifts in advance.
People celebrating their 39th wedding anniversary often already have grandchildren. Parents should involve them to congratulate grandparents.Drawn postcards, a large poster with congratulations, poems and songs learned in honor of the holiday - all this will make the celebration truly sincere and warm and will delight the “newlyweds”.
You should not give your parents presents reminiscent of the disease. Even if they need a tonometer or an apparatus for measuring blood sugar, it is better to just 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 unless your parents ask you to.
How to congratulate your wife or husband?
Traditional gifts for a crepe wedding are fabric products, not necessarily crepe. The spouse can present his wife with a beautiful dress or blouse, the wife - a shirt, tie. Alternatively, you can go shopping together or give your soul mate a certificate. But let it not be a simple store where you can get dressed any other day. Choose a clothing store where you cannot always buy things due to 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. A spouse can prove himself to be a "strategist" and present his wife with any jewelry, except for a ring with a ruby. The fact is that in a year they will have to celebrate a ruby wedding, at which, as a rule, spouses exchange rings with rubies. For a crepe wedding, you can give ruby earrings, and a year later add a ring to them - you get a set symbolizing the continuity of holidays and family relationships.
Donated perfumes and cosmetics, shaving and personal care kits, ties and scarves, scarves, belts, wallets are considered universal, but no less useful.
It is believed that on the 39th anniversary of marriage, spouses should 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 the ceremony, having worked up an appetite, you can end the holiday in a restaurant or cafe.
In general, it is believed that a crepe wedding should repeat the celebration that was 39 years ago. You can repeat the wedding day, starting it with a visit to the registry office or walking around the city, continuing at a festive banquet and ending on the wedding night. Make sure your 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 exclusively in August, and lilies of the valley in May, today, in the January cold, you can please your beloved with a bouquet of peonies or delicate primroses.
The main thing is to take care of the present in advance by making the appropriate order in the flower shop.
Surprise ideas for friends
Traditionally, crepe is used to sew clothes (usually for women) and bed linen, home textiles. The last 2 options are what you need to give your friends for a crepe wedding.
Choose beautiful bedding made from crepe or natural silk in noble shadesthat emphasize the grace of the fabric. A similar option is a set of crepe tablecloths and napkins. If you are sure that you will guess with the style of the interior and the preferences of the owners, opt for beautiful curtains made of the same fabric.
An interesting idea is to tailor kimonos or dressing gowns for "young" people in the spirit of Japanese national dress. Why kimono? The fact is that, according to tradition, they are sewn from crepe.
However, one can go beyond the “crepe” theme only. For family people, a set of dishes, household appliances, cutlery will almost always be a pleasant and useful gift. You can emphasize the special character of the holiday by wrapping them in crepe paper or tying them with a crepe ribbon.
Why not use the symbolic number 39 as the basis for the gift? Focusing on him, 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 will undoubtedly delight the owners of the house and heroes of the occasion, and will be appropriate for the holiday.
If you are donating cutlery, it makes sense to engrave it. Even if friends already have similar sets, this one will become special and will be passed on as a family heirloom.
If the "young" are not planning a magnificent celebration, then you can look "at the seagulls", taking with you wine, sweets, gift baskets with tea, coffee, dried fruits. In this case, the main present is a cake, which can be decorated with edible numbers, the names of the “young” or other symbols.
Do not forget to present flowers to the bride. 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 lady. It can be noble burgundy roses, diluted with lighter flowers.
