5th Wedding Anniversary Gifts

Wedding anniversaries are widely celebrated all over the world. But did you know that it was during the Medieval Era that wedding anniversaries were first celebrated. However, during that time, only the 25^th and 50^th anniversaries were celebrated. The men’s anniversary gifts to their wives at that time were a silver wreath for 25 years or a gold one for 50 years.

Today, there are meanings for each wedding anniversary that a couple celebrates. These meanings represent a stage in the couple’s relationship and they years that they have spent together. Gift givers, when planning on what anniversary gifts to give, usually take their cue from these meanings.
