Unique First Wedding Anniversary Gifts

A couple’s first anniversary will be one of the most special ones that they spend together. Paper is the traditional material for gifts. This article will give a few unique ideas to incorporate it into modern day wedding anniversary presents.

1.) A scrapbook of the couple’s life: Start with a baby picture, add a few dating photos and end with their wedding portrait. Add a blank page for their first anniversary and throw in some scrap booking supplies. Make sure it’s one that they can continue to add pages through throughout the years.

2.) A family bible: Include a personal note about their first anniversary and anniversaries yet to come at the beginning and record the couple’s name and date of marriage on the first line. This will be a cherished keepsake and heirloom for many generations in the future..

3.) An updated family tree that ends with the couple: It can always be reproduced and names added on later but for now end it with their marriage. Add a picture of their wedding day at the top and frame it in a custom “First Anniversary Frame”.

4.) A family cookbook: Get Mothers, Grandmothers, Aunts and friends together to each add a recipe or two and have them include a personal story or anecdote to go along with them. You can have this professionally formatted at a printing shop or just buy a binder and make it home-made. If you do the latter, make sure to give everyone a matching custom sized card to record their contribution on.

5.) A personal love-letter notebook: After a couple gets married, especially after their first anniversary, some tend to forget the romancing part of romance. Give them a pretty notebook that they can write love letters to and keep in their bedside drawer. They can choose how often to write to each other and it will be a special treat for the both of them to be taken back to their dating days.

6.) A movie script from the first movie they ever saw together: You can buy copies of these sorts of thing on the internet. It will be a cherished memory to look at on their first anniversary and many anniversaries to come.
