Traditional and Modern Anniversary Gifts

Most people know that the 50th wedding anniversary is the "golden" anniversary, and that the 25th is silver. But beyond that? Here are some traditional and modern conventions to follow when selecting anniversary gifts.

But don't limit your gift giving to the gifts listed below for each anniversary year. Chances are if you didn't know what the gift for that year was, then the recipients won't know either! Use your imagination, but most importantly, use your heart.
