A calendar of wedding anniversaries appeared several centuries ago. A similar tradition is found in other countries.
There are minimal differences, but in general the essence remains the same. The reason lies in the psychological aspects of the issue. The celebrations were invented not only to remember the happiest and most touching day in the life of the young, but also to designate the degree of strength of the relationship.
So the very first date is a green wedding, and the last one is red. For 100 years, there has been a slow transition from chintz-linen relationship to silver-gold.
2 years of marriage - this is what a wedding? Two years after the marriage, the couple celebrates a paper wedding. Guests and spouses are preparing in advance for a memorable event: think through the plan of the event, choose gifts and prepare greeting speeches.
Distinctive features and psychological features of a paper wedding
The two-year anniversary of marriage, not without reason, got its name. The relationship between husband and wife in the second year of marriage together is in fact becoming fragile and not strong. Relationships are easy to crumple or break like a piece of paper.
Vanilla period of love is replaced by a period of domestic relations. Identification of shortcomings, family troubles, financial problems, often the birth of children or the banal "rubbing of characters" - the feelings are tested for strength.
But not everything is so gloomy and gray. Remember? Difficulties harden. Joint problem solving brings together. Young step by step, hand in hand, rise to a pedestal of strong and reliable relations.
Every day the feelings grow stronger, and love inflames with a new force. At this stage, the support of relatives and friends, who are already in a hurry with congratulations and gifts for the second celebration after the wedding festivities, is extremely important.
How to originally congratulate young people on the holiday and what gifts to present on a memorable day
The name of the anniversary 2 years after the marriage is very symbolic. Therefore, on this day, all gifts should be somehow connected with paper products: cards, books, calendars, photo albums, diaries, paintings. It is difficult to show originality when the choice of souvenirs is so limited, but there are still some non-standard ideas.
Congratulations of parents for 2 years young weddings
The first to come to congratulate the spouses will be close relatives. Closer to mom and dad there is no one there. It is from the parents that the couple will wait for warm and parting words.
Wise life experience "adults" can not make a significant emphasis on gifts, and try to give valuable advice to newly minted husband and wife (although in life they usually try to make a significant contribution to the family budget, for example, donate the missing young appliances, update furniture or "donate" part of the funds for the repair of an apartment).
To present tips on strengthening family ties can be in poetic form.
- Never forget the very first feelings and try not to lose the original tenderness on the thorny path of everyday troubles.
We remember that cheerful paradise day
It was like it was five minutes ago.
Bouquets, rings, from the veil carved shadow,
Two pairs of happy eyes in love look.
A lot of months have passed since
You are familiar with quarrels, reproaches, and doubts.
But you also know sincere conversation,
Love, affection, and loyalty, and patience.
So don't forget the hectic monotonous days,
What have you met for much happiness,
That he was always strong next to her,
She - caressed all misfortunes.
So that only grace reigned in the house.
Love, care, joy, understanding.
So that for each other life could give,
And so the whole life as a first date.
- Your love is like a blazing bonfire: it will fade away as soon as you stop tossing new logs, but as soon as you blow the coals of ashes, it will again flare up with a bright flame. We wish you to learn how to kindle burning fire in each other’s hearts, which will warm you on inclement days of frustration and resentment.
Just two years, my God, what a little!
Not too many roads were covered
But behind the tired shoulders, everything is left
That dusty spot of oblivion and anxiety.
Shake it off with a tender hand.
And throw the setbacks into the flames from the fire.
When the fire of love burns in people's hearts,
Not a cup of tenderness to the bottom.
- Let all the failures, quarrels and frustrations go away with this “paper” date. Break doubts and anxieties like a notebook sheet. Let only joy, happiness, luck and unlimited love await you in front of you.
The paper boat is floating on the river
He carries with him dreams in his backpack,
Hope, unrest and secret thoughts,
Here dark clouds suddenly hung over him.
But you do not worry, it happens
Through the cloud, too, the sun shines.
Spring comes again in autumn,
And summer is replaced by rain rain.
All life consists of bright stripes,
Love darkens the echoes of anxiety.
But suddenly the sun rises,
Ladoshki warm, heart warms.
Congratulatory speech, it is advisable to write in a beautiful card so that important words are preserved for many years. Newlyweds at any time will be able to re-read them and in memory to experience a touching moment again.
Gifts from friends
While the parents of the spouses are trying to give serious solid presentations, so to speak, to be useful in everyday life, family friends can show creativity and make a note of humor in their congratulations.
The tears of the older generation, touching to tears, are, of course, good, but one should not forget that the event is first of all joyful. So let the gifts from your buddies be funny, funny and funny. What to give to friends:
- "sweet" poster (from the category you are inseparable as two Twix sticks and sweet as Bounty, it is important to place products on the sheet, not candy wrappers from them);
- photo puzzle (this can be a photo of young people or a general photo with friends);
- a collage of memorable events (again, either a family one, or a story of meeting friends);
- a humorous photo frame (if the product has a secret meaning, it is even more interesting);
- endless calendar (it can be done independently, by the way);
- wish tree (an original souvenir, in the manufacture of which all friends are involved);
- certificates and medals (the text should be thought up in advance);
- "warm words" (meaning large-sized wooden chip boards);
- set of hangers, congratulations (instead of hangers are words like "congratulate", "wish happiness", "love", "prosperity").
Cool congratulations of friends in verse for 2 years of family life also have a place to be. This will help create a cozy festive atmosphere and raise the spirits, both for the heroes of the occasion and the guests present.
Flew year after year
The wedding is fragile.
You have become a little bit older.
We are waiting for you kids
Pieces so maybe under twenty,
To have something to brag about.
Well, we will baptize everyone
And we will not forget to congratulate.
We are in a hurry to congratulate the family
Happy holidays important.
And we want to lead them all
Paper awnings.
Let friends now meet
In a curtsy smooth
And they call each other
Nice and sovereign.
And let life flow royally,
In luxury, wealth.
Buy Swiss watches,
Fur coat and gloves.
And you will build a palace,
And plant gardens,
Visit us all,
At the tables spread out.
Your wedding is only paper
But what is still important!
You are two years old spouse,
Love each other a lot.
Your experience is very small,
Friendly you lived with your family.
Giving you your anniversary
That, we consider that it is more valuable:
Toilet paper,
Photo frame and snag,
To stand in a vase
And reminded of us.
They brought another notebook,
To record wealth,
Let the gift be small,
Wait for the golden wedding!
Congratulations from your buddies should not always have a substantial form. Family friends often prepare unexpected surprises.
It can be a funny production, an improvised theater, an author's song, a life story, a video clip, or even an unexpected visit by actors.
The main thing to accomplish the main goal of the idea is to wish a couple of longevity in a comic and playful form, and also to remind them of their love and affection.
What spouses give each other on the day of the paper wedding
On the wedding anniversary, the husband and wife not only accept congratulations from guests, but also give gifts to each other. Intimate moment is not necessary to hold in front of others, it is better to do it alone, away from prying eyes.
For people who have lived under the same roof for several years, it is not so difficult to choose gifts for the second half. The husband knows for sure the size of the underwear, the favorite smell or the missing item in the cosmetic bag.
And the wife has already heard more than once the dreams of a new spinning, wrist watch or leather wallet. But it is worth making a reservation about the form of presentation. Since traditions require just paper gifts, a surprise in the form of a certificate is the ideal solution.
A trip to a beauty salon, a movie ticket, a subscription to a print publication, a subscription to a fitness club - you can buy a "happy coupon" in almost any place.
Variant with gifts made with their own hands, also has a place to be. Money tree, scrapbook, postcard in the technique of "quilling". When a thing is made with love and warmth, it is doubly more pleasant.
Paper Wedding Traditions
How to celebrate 2 years of marriage? Some families are not able to confine themselves to one single day of marriage, and each subsequent year is marked "like the first time." The couple dresses up in wedding suits, puffy tables are laid, a master of ceremonies, contests, games, dances are invited. The evening ends with dazzling fireworks or launching sky lanterns.
Someone prefers to celebrate more modest. View wedding video, happy memories, friendly conversation, mulled wine, candles, canapés. During such gatherings a warm and cozy atmosphere is created, which eventually develops into a family tradition.
But some customs remain unchanged and are passed down from generation to generation:
- dress up the bride and groom in paper clothes (the manner borrowed from the peoples of China);
- give young matryoshka with wishes (a tradition of Russian tradition);
- to decorate the room in the style of celebration (modern trend);
- to make a table with a paper tablecloth (folk omen);
- write love letters to each other and messages from friends (relatively "young" custom).
It is interesting if the spouses themselves come up with some tradition or notice a new omen. Friends and relatives can take an active part in the formation of family customs, because they had not appeared two years ago at the main celebration of lovers, there would have been no celebration.
To congratulate the spouses on the two-year anniversary of the marriage is made in such a way that it is associated with paper products.
Congratulatory words in a poetic form are sealed in postcards, often made by hand. Guests and the newlyweds are located at the festive table and share pleasant impressions of the event two years ago.
The idea of another original gift for a paper wedding is in the next video.
