Ask a Question

4 years of marriage - what kind of wedding and what to give? The fourth anniversary of a marriage is an important event for young spouses. On this day, you want to pleasantly please and surprise your soulmate.

What do you give for a linen wedding?

The closest relatives and friends are invited to the 4-year marriage anniversary. The celebration turns out to be warm and homely.

Standard gifts are gifts made from linen: napkins, tablecloths, curtains, bedding sets, clothes. Since a wedding has another name - a wax wedding, wax products are also suitable: candles, cosmetics with the addition of wax.

Traditional gifts

In order not to rack your brains over choosing a gift, you can use traditional ideas:

• Linen clothing (T-shirts, dresses, suits, shorts, robe);
• A linen hammock is a good option for those who have a cottage or home;
• Linen blanket - this can be an original blanket with sleeves or an embossed photograph of the spouses;
• Linen towels or pillows.

To my husband

What do you give your husband for a linen wedding? A wife can present her husband with linen clothing.

Or you can not adhere to traditions and buy something useful:

• Necessary tools for home;
• A bottle of elite alcoholic drink;
• If he paints, then you can present him with canvas and paints;
• The fisherman will love the set for his hobby, a new fishing rod.

It can also be modern gadgets: phone, tablet, e-reader.

Wife

The husband will be able to please his wife with the following things:

• Linen clothing: dress, jacket, suit, blouse;
• Cosmetics containing beeswax;
• Decoration made of linen ropes;
• Soft toy made from linen;
• Flax flowers.

Spouses to each other

4 years is a long period. It is believed that after this anniversary, the spouses begin to have a stronger and more serious relationship.

A husband and wife can arrange a romantic surprise for each other. For example, it could be a surprise evening. A husband or wife can organize a romantic candlelit dinner with a glass of champagne.

But you shouldn’t limit yourself to just this. It is even better to add a material gift that will remind you of the anniversary.

Children from parents

Young couples don’t really know and follow traditions. Who else, if not parents, should remind their children about them.

Parents usually give linen products to their children:

• Curtains;
• Tablecloths;
• Robes, pajamas;
• Bed sheets;
• Couple clothes (T-shirts, tracksuits).

To the young from friends

In ancient times, there was an interesting ritual when spouses were tightly tied to each other with many ropes made of flax.

If the lovers were unable to break free from the bonds, this meant that their marriage would not break up. Friends of the newlyweds will be able to find several of these ropes and create a festive, cheerful atmosphere.

But you still can’t do without a gift - for example, a gift for your 4th wedding anniversary could be:

• Beautiful candlestick;
• A photograph of them together, painted on canvas;
• Photo album.

A standard and practical option is a linen tablecloth. If your budget allows, you can buy a whole set: tablecloth, chair covers, napkins.

DIY present

It is especially nice to receive a gift that you made with your own hands. This is how the donor invests his soul. If you have any talent, then you should definitely use it.

What to give for a linen wedding:

• A painted picture;
• A festive poem or short song;
• Photo collage or video about the life of a married couple;
• Floral composition complemented by flax flowers.

Original and inexpensive

If your budget is limited, then you should choose something original. Often the choice falls on decorative items: candlesticks, hand-embroidered pillows, linen paintings, soft toys, linen phone cases.

Cool (comic) gifts

The gift can be cool and even a little humorous:

• 100 reasons for love. A beautiful jar can be filled with small pieces of paper on which you can write one reason why you love your other half;
• Bag of candy. The bag, of course, must be made of linen. An ideal gift for those with a sweet tooth;
• Games 18+. A very interesting option that will allow spouses to have an interesting time;
• Shirt-blouse. In ancient times, women gave such a gift to their husbands. Today it is considered a funny gift.

Unusual

If the spouses do not adhere to linen traditions, then you can consider more interesting traditions of other nations:

• For example, in Germany they give amber products - amber paintings, amber beads.
• The Dutch give gifts made of silk. An excellent option would be silk underwear, a scarf, a brooch made of silk and leather.

Interesting

It is not necessary that the thing be material. It could be something memorable.

A married couple can be given a certificate for a joint trip to the spa, a romantic horseback ride, a hot air balloon ride, or a trip to an amusement park.

This will give the couple an opportunity to be together once again and get pleasant emotions and impressions.

Practical and useful

In addition to flax, spouses are given something useful that will suit their hobbies:

• Covers for chairs in the car or chairs in the house. Can be made from linen;
• Wallets, bags, purses. A useful gift for both men and women;
• Wall Clock. A classic gift for all occasions;
• Set of tools. Should be in every home. It is considered a symbol of strong relationships.

From the history

• before the holiday, the wife sewed a linen shirt and trousers for her chosen one, but without taking her husband’s measurements. If the clothes fit, it means that the couple will have mutual understanding and a long, happy life;
• also, the wife had to independently make a sheet from linen and embroider it with patterns for the wax wedding;
• According to tradition, the date in question was celebrated in a small family circle. The treats were prepared personally by the girl and she had to show everyone invited how and what she fed her lover and what she had learned over the years in marriage;
• To ensure strong relationships and a bright future, dishes with the addition of flax were placed on the festive table. In addition, the seed of this plant is a symbol of fertility, which attracts the imminent appearance of a child into family life. If the heroes of the occasion do not yet have heirs, but they already want their first child, then such dishes should be eaten first.

Bad ideas

Although the choice is endless, there are some ideas worth avoiding:

• Money. Spouses and friends should not give a gift that does not in any way represent tenderness, care and feeling;
• Gifts for yourself. Often spouses give each other things that are more useful to them than to their other half;
• Useless trinkets;
• Too expensive gifts. There is no need to bend the bar and give cars or necklaces with diamonds. It is better to leave such gifts for serious anniversaries.

It doesn’t really matter what gift is chosen for a linen wedding. A linen wedding gift should be given or chosen with love. In fact, the choice of gifts is huge, so there will be no difficulties.

In the modern world, it is very important to congratulate loved ones on social networks; Instagram and VKontakte have become especially popular recently. We offer you some romantic quotes about the fourth wedding date:

What kind of wedding is 4 years old, what to give for it, how to celebrate, we figured out all this and much more. Now you know all the nuances of a linen marriage anniversary. We wish you to celebrate it sincerely, and that it will not be the last in your family life!

Happy canvas

In ancient times, every woman began to weave linen from the day of her wedding. We worked on the blanket only at moments when the spouse brought joy and positive emotions.

On the day of the 4th anniversary, the wife covered her husband with the resulting needlework. If the size allowed the spouse to be completely covered, it means that the woman is happy with everything in family life. If not, the man should have thought about his behavior and corrected his mistakes and been kinder and more attentive.

Today, problems may arise with the production of woven fabric at home. Replace it with knitting. A large knitted blanket is not difficult to make, and its size will symbolize your relationship.

You can also choose a linen sheet and embroider patterns on it for moments of joy. The extent to which the fabric is embroidered, the extent to which your spouse loves and pleases you.

How to celebrate?

• Since four years lived together is not yet an anniversary, the anniversary is celebrated as a family holiday, among relatives and close friends . In addition to parents, godparents are also invited.
• There are no special regulations regarding the location. You can gather guests at home, or you can celebrate by going to a restaurant. a sincere, festive atmosphere reigns .
• Any dishes and snacks are served on the table. It’s good if the hero of the occasion treats everyone with some of her signature dishes, showing the guests what she has learned over the four years of marriage. But pies and honey must be present on the table to attract good luck and happiness into the house.
• Paying tribute to tradition, we must not forget about the main symbol – flax. It is enough to decorate the table with a linen tablecloth , or you can limit yourself to just napkins. It will be wonderful if the spouses’ clothes on this day also contain linen elements.
• A mandatory accessory for this celebration are wax candles , which the spouses light before the guests arrive.
• It’s a good idea to decorate the table with figures tied together with linen thread.
• The very first congratulations come from the parents of the newlyweds.

Competitions

A long feast will be enlivened by an entertainment program. The following competitions are suitable for the linen or rope anniversary:

1. “Rope” It is necessary to divide the guests into 2 teams - men and women. Then take 2 ropes or ribbons approximately 1–1.2 meters long and tie them in a circle. Each team member needs to “put on” this circle over his head and “take it off” through his legs. The fastest team wins.

2. “Rings” Couples participate in the competition. Participants must be connected by ropes to each other by the wrists as shown in the figure. Then give them one and a half minutes of time to extricate themselves from “captivity.” Usually this is only possible for those who are already familiar with this competition. After the time has expired, all participants can be shown how to get rid of the “endless” ring of hands (see picture).

Souvenir decorations

Souvenir surprises can come in different sizes and colors; intended for rare use or decorative purposes. In the interior, such souvenirs do not play a key role, but they perfectly complement the design of any room with modernity and a touch of art.

Knitted linen box

A linen box is needed to store small parts, and it doesn’t matter what it’s made of. It’s just that today we will draw your attention to existing objects, even in areas that are difficult to invent.

Decorative dolls

Any woman in Rus' could weave such a doll. There is no linen fabric, but there are threads that are collected in bunches to give the dolls the shape of a full skirt.

Interior decoration

From the “handmade for sale” range you can purchase some good souvenirs that are distinguished by their ingenuity and originality in their execution. There is minimal flax here - it should not be in all details, only as decoration. Therefore, do not be surprised if you come across a gift in which a small flower is made from flax.

Linen bags for cereals

Practical, but for storage, the little thing will save you from confusion and hassle. A linen bag has always been a good place to store cereals and bulk materials.

The housewife had order in the kitchen if the fabric was linen. It does not allow even fine dust to pass through during long-term storage of crops.

Linen pincushion

Perhaps in every fabric store you can find a pincushion. And the upholstery material depends on the manufacturer. If you really want to, cover the button with linen and sew it into the center of the composition. There is flax, which means everything is in order.

Flower pot

A simple flower pot can be decorated with drapery and lace. The end result is a beautiful, updated pot, and it’s worth placing some kind of plant in it. The wife will be happy with such a gift.

You can do something yourself by watching how professionals do it. There are a lot of videos on the Internet, but we offer a simple and beautiful master class.
