Wedding anniversary is celebrated by people all over the world. Everywhere their traditions. But there similarities in the celebrations. For example, it is customary to give the anniversary name. So the first wedding anniversary called calico. The tenth anniversary somewhere called tin, but somewhere pink. Twenty-five years of living together is a silver wedding.
Not all anniversaries have names. Although it is sometimes customary to celebrate even the "intermediate" date. For example, 6.5 years is celebrated zinc wedding; 12.5 – Nickel wedding; 37.5 - aluminum.

A great addition to gift flowers red roses.


If the celebration is expected many guests, the evening is being held in a cafe or restaurant. We must take care that the design was consistent with the symbolism of the holiday. But at home, nothing will prevent to choose the white tablecloth and red table napkins, decorate the room with red balloons in form of hearts and even red curtains.
