Now that we know that anniversary themes are a thing for every year, it’s easier to figure out the gifts and the party ideas. Naturally, the first ten years of marriage often receive more attention. Although the years that follow deserve just as much recognition and thoughtfulness. To keep nourishing your relationship through the years, consider traditionally celebrating your marriage anniversary. On that note, here are the anniversary themes from the 11th to 20th-year milestones. Because we know you know the first ten already! Remember, this gift-giving can help you celebrate your enduring love and growth as a couple.

11th Anniversary: Steel

The 11th anniversary is associated with steel, a strong and durable material. It symbolizes the strength and solidity of your marriage. Also, it is the strongest metal in existence, just like your bond. Traditional gifts for the occasion can be personalized steel jewelry, steel sculptures, or a steel kitchen gadget.

13th Anniversary: Lace

As we know, lace is a fine, delicate beauty with intricate patterns. Which is why it is perfect for being a 13th-anniversary theme. These many years of togetherness are delicate but lovely like lace. For gifts, you can consider lace lingerie or clothing with lace work. Also, you can introduce some decorative lace items to your home.

14th Anniversary: Ivory

With its timeless beauty, ivory symbolizes the purity and endurance of your love. However, being an animal item, the real ivory is ethically problematic. For the same reasons, traditional presents with a cruelty-free vibe came into consideration. This includes alternatives like ivory-colored jewelry, artwork, home decor, and more.

Also, the light spectrum of crystal reflects the wide phases of your relationship. To honor the occasion, you can cheer up with crystal glassware, home decor, jewelry, or more.
