For the wordsmiths
It’s not just weddings that are influenced by tradition, every year of marriage is too. Scrapbooks are a great and hugely traditional gift choice for your very first wedding anniversary. Paper has long been used as gift inspiration for first wedding anniversaries. Here eHow explains more about its origins:
“According to Anniversary Ideas, the association of different materials with wedding anniversaries began around 600 years ago in Germanic Europe, when silver and gold were linked to 25 and 50 years of marriage. It was not until about 1875 that the first year and other anniversaries gained their own symbols. Paper is seen to represent the delicate nature of a young marriage but can also denote the acquisition of knowledge.”
Get creative and embrace the paper theme wholeheartedly by gifting The Little Book of Us from HipHipHoorayStudio. It’s the perfect base for a scrapbook, memory book or journal of your story so far.
