Gifts for children from parents
Choosing a gift for children's third wedding anniversary is usually not difficult. Furniture is considered one of the best gifts, especially for young families who have recently lived separately. Depending on your budget, you can buy a set of a sofa and armchairs, a banquette or an ottoman. For children living separately, you can also purchase various decorative items (paintings, boxes, figurines). They will help create comfort in the house and emphasize the originality of the interior.
You can buy a practical anniversary gift. It could be:
- mixer, blender, multicooker and other kitchen “helpers”;
- iron, steamer or other household appliances;
- sets of dishes or bed linen;
- mobile gadgets (phones, e-readers, tablets).
If it is difficult to choose a gift, you can give money. Of course, it is best to put them in a leather envelope, but this is not necessary. Or parents can arrange for their children another honeymoon (a trip somewhere). The best wrapper for tickets is leather. When choosing such a gift, you should find out in advance about the children’s plans and their possibility of going to another country or city for a week.
If 3 years have passed since the wedding, they usually choose gifts made of leather, but gifts that are related to it are also suitable. For example, you can present a set of skin care products, certificates for a massage course or cosmetic treatments. The choice of gifts is huge and limited only by your imagination. You can buy practical things or surprise with original solutions, but in any case they will symbolize the strength of the relationship.
Wedding anniversary
When the wedding is over, the newlyweds become a little sad that their celebration has come to an end. However, this is not entirely true, because the spouses have many joint holidays ahead. The concept of “wedding anniversary” is of great importance for a new family, as it is a matrimonial experience shrouded in happiness and love.
Previously, during the Roman Empire, it was customary to crown their spouses on their wedding anniversaries. So on the 25th anniversary, husbands presented their wives with silver crowns, and another quarter of a century later, on the 50th anniversary, they crowned them with a gold crown. A little later, more attention began to be paid to this celebration, and with the development of commerce, a huge number of anniversaries and, accordingly, various gifts for them were invented.
What should you not give?
It is not customary to give an empty wallet as a gift for any reason. Be sure to put a few bills inside. A surprise that conflicts with the recipient’s tastes will not do either. For example, gifts made from cheap leatherette are considered bad form, as are any short-lived and low-quality items. After all, a gift for this wedding anniversary will be a symbol of the strength of the marriage. If you do not use leather products for personal reasons, it is better to purchase something from a well-known brand made from guaranteed quality materials.
You don't have to spend a lot of money on a gift. And an inexpensive gift can tell about feelings if carefully selected.
A thing made of good eco-leather will also be a pleasant gift for the third wedding anniversary
How to traditionally celebrate a leather anniversary
Traditionally, the third anniversary of marriage was not celebrated with lavish celebrations, but was celebrated in a narrow circle of family and closest friends. Usually the couple already had a child or even more than one and therefore noisy parties were inappropriate. But you still need to have fun.
In Rus', on this day, the wife always baked “cows” - large oblong breads with fruit. They also prepared small “cows” - buns, pies or gingerbread with small horns. Modern housewives can bake something similar, or buy ready-made baked goods with fruit. A red meat dish was also required. The guests brought gifts and apples, had dinner, had fun and played games, but did not stay long.
A great treat for a leather wedding would be barbecue with red wine. You can also purchase cupcakes decorated with horns.
Nowadays, the traditions of different peoples are closely intertwined and complement each other. In Germany and France, the third anniversary of marriage is called a wheat wedding and is considered a celebration of love, sensuality, fertility and life. On this day, guests are treated to meat, wine and, of course, bread.
Preparing for the celebration
Before you start giving gifts and congratulations, you need to properly approach the preparation of the event.
The process traditionally needs to start with general cleaning. During its implementation, according to established tradition, it is advised to throw away any object that would remind you of conflicts in a couple. Such an act is a guarantee that from now on the couple will live without quarrels and conflicts.
It is also worth paying attention to the outfit in which the spouses are going to greet guests on their holiday. Dressing in leather from head to toe is not necessary; it is enough that there is some accessory made of this material on the body. Even an ordinary cord tied on your hand as a bracelet will be enough.
An important point in preparing the festive table is the presence of meat dishes. It is also worth decorating the table with red wine and “bread soup”. This is the name given to broth with bread made from rye flour, which is the personification of an inextricable connection. It is better to avoid fatty foods, because guests will need to focus on congratulations.
You also need to choose the place where the celebration will take place. A cozy Georgian restaurant is considered the ideal option, however, in addition to it, you can opt for a country house or an outdoor celebration. The hunting style is ideal for decorating the place.
Three years of marriage
When the newlyweds have lived together for 3 years, their marriage becomes stronger. As a couple, the couple managed to take a few steps, and the relationship became a little stronger. What is the correct name for the third wedding anniversary and what is customary to give as a gift for this special occasion? Answers to these and many other questions can be found in this article.
What's your third wedding anniversary? It's called leather. The name of the third wedding anniversary is interpreted in different ways. Some believe that the name comes from the word “skin” in the sense of material, that is, it is clearly stronger than paper. And young spouses have room to grow in order to make the couple’s relationship even stronger, since this material tends to stretch, rub until it shines, but also tear if handled carelessly.
There are other assumptions about the origin of the name of the leather wedding. Judging by them, the third wedding anniversary is called the skin, in the sense of an organ that covers the outer covering of the body. The first tests of married life by husband and wife have been overcome, they begin to have mutual sensations and increased sensitivity to each other. They can boast of experience in managing family affairs.
Be that as it may, three years of marriage is the first serious anniversary, the celebration of which must be taken with all seriousness and responsibility.
