A wedding anniversary is a wonderful reason to hold a celebration. Whether it is your first anniversary or your 60th, each year that passes is note-worthy and deserving of being commemerated.

For each anniversary, there are associated 'gifts' to mark each celebration. There is a list of traditional gifts, which dates back to the middle-ages, but in recent times a modern list has surfaced, giving a wide range of inspiration when looking for themes or gift ideas.
