The Significance of Paper Anniversary Gifts
Traditionally, paper wedding anniversary gifts are given to celebrate the first year of marriage. Paper symbolizes the fresh start and blank page of your married life, ready to be filled with new experiences and chapters written together.
There’s a wide spectrum of paper anniversary presents, allowing you to be as literal or creatively abstract as you wish.
Alex Somervell of A&J Comics suggests that a good first paper wedding anniversary gift should “primarily be made of paper, but ideally also commemorate the first year as a married couple, perhaps incorporating memories through photos or a short anecdote of a fun shared experience.”
Ideas like books, art prints, and origami are among our top paper wedding anniversary gift recommendations.
The Modern Touch: Clocks for the First Anniversary
As you mark your first year of marriage, the modern gift alternative, clocks, perfectly represents the passage of time and the precious moments you’ve shared.
“This modern take on the traditional paper gift is a practical and symbolic idea, represented by watches, wall clocks, or even jewelry. We’ve observed increasing interest in wedding watches, and if you didn’t embrace this trend for your wedding, gifting one as a modern first anniversary present is a perfect way to participate,” explains Zoe.
Remember, no matter how wonderful your paper wedding anniversary gift is, you’ll have to find a way to top it for your second anniversary! Fortunately, we also have a selection of gift ideas for your second wedding anniversary.
