Porcelain wedding: how many years of marriage, what anniversary is being celebrated

The 20th wedding anniversary is called porcelain. This is an expensive material; not every family could previously afford a set of fine porcelain. At the same time, it is quite fragile and requires careful handling.

It is believed that over 20 years of marriage, spouses have become accustomed to treating each other with care and supporting their partner on the winding and bumpy path of life.

And this path has become easier - the children have grown up, everything is in order with housing, and they have also become valuable specialists at work. It's time to celebrate your successes.

A little about porcelain as a symbol of 20 wedding years

Knowing what kind of wedding is being celebrated for 20 years of marriage, you can beautifully use information about the history of symbolic material when preparing the celebration and choosing congratulations.

Porcelain appeared in China in the 6th–7th centuries BC. It contains kaolin clay and finely ground mineral powder (feldspar and quartz). This material was mixed, aged for about 10 years and only then entered into processing.

The mass was brought to the state of liquid clay, placed in plaster molds and dried. Further firing required time and high temperatures. This complex process led to the high cost of products.

In ancient China, porcelain dishes were made for the needs of the emperor and senior officials, and the technology was a state secret (disclosure was punishable by death). But the material was worth it.

“Sounding like jade, and surpassing the brilliance of frost and snow, thin as a sheet of paper,” a Chinese poet of that time wrote about porcelain.

Two types of porcelain were produced in China - for the imperial court (30 thousand dishes, 16 thousand plates, 18 thousand cups) and for foreign trade (mainly vases and dishes for the interior), which brought huge profits to the country.
In the 17th century (after the process was reflected in the memoirs of the Chinese emperor), porcelain began to be produced in Japan, and then in Europe. In Japan, these were traditional technologies, but the art of decoration reached unprecedented heights. Another variety appeared in Europe - bone china (in addition to kaolin clay, feldspar and quartz, ash from the bones of large animals was added) - thinner and stronger. The most famous are Meissen (Germany), Wedgwood (England) and Sevres (France) varieties of European porcelain.

In Russia, porcelain production began in the middle of the 18th century. The most famous are the St. Petersburg Porcelain Factory (formerly Imperial) and Dulevsky (formerly Kuznetsovsky).

Brief congratulations

When spouses celebrate a porcelain wedding, the decoration of the hall where the solemn anniversary is held is done in delicate white and cream shades. On this date, relatives, friends and children do not skimp on kind words and gifts. And if it’s difficult to find intimate congratulations on your wedding anniversary, when a man and woman celebrate 20 years of marriage, you can use ready-made options:

After many years together, you are still happy and content. I envy you a little, but I wish to continue in the same spirit for another 100 years!

Happy wedding anniversary to my dearest friends and wish you a bright future in an ocean of peace.
Dear Mom and Dad, we are happy to see you like this, still in love, on this wedding anniversary. You look at each other as a bride and groom do, laughing, kissing, hugging. We really hope that when we get married, we will be as happy as you are.
A wedding anniversary is a celebration of love, trust, cooperation, tolerance and perseverance. The order varies depending on the year. And for 20 years you have demonstrated that you know how to comply with it regardless of the circumstances. Happy holiday to you!

Happy anniversary friends! I am very happy for you, because I see that you are a couple who understands each other and knows how to find compromises, despite the problems. After all, they did not become the reason for you to stop loving each other! And I want to continue to congratulate you on many other anniversaries.
Just look at the young people and you will immediately understand that they still love. And I am pleased to see that they understand and share the same responsibilities to maintain one home where the most sacred thing they have is the beautiful family they have created. God bless you and happy anniversary!

I am very happy for you, because the years go by, and you know how to maintain your exemplary marriage. I could never think that you could stop loving each other. You are an enviable couple, and it would be wonderful if all the husbands in the world were just like you. Because there would be no divorces or separations. Happy wedding anniversary, my dears! Congratulations on sharing 20 years of marriage and still being happy!
It seems like only yesterday that you decided to stand before God and be blessed by him. There are few couples nowadays who swear eternal love and stay together for so many years! Happy anniversary to you!
I am very happy to be here celebrating another wedding anniversary with you. You prove that marriages can last, year after year! Happy holiday, my dears!

It’s so good that the love you swore to 20 years ago remains alive and as strong as in the beginning. I wish you all the best! May there be many more anniversaries to come. I ask for applause from everyone present here for the great love you feel!
You were born to be together, united your life in the name of love, and therefore you are happy! I am very happy about this and wish you a happy anniversary!
All the best for a porcelain wedding! I wish you the happiest years of your life!

Attention! If you don’t want to stand in front of your guests for a long time, make a short congratulations on your wedding anniversary. This will be enough to show respect for the fact that the couple lived happily for 20 years together.

Wedding anniversary 20 years: what were the traditions and rituals

The 20th wedding anniversary has its own interesting traditions that can easily be brought to life today during the celebration.

There must be new dishes on the festive table - it is believed that in 20 years all the old ones have already been broken (not by you, but by the growing children).

Before the celebration begins, the spouses choose one of the old plates, write on it with a marker all the complaints against each other, life’s troubles. And they break it to everyone’s joy.

The hosts choose the most beautiful cup, fill it with coins (possibly chocolate ones) and, going around the table, give one to the guests as a symbol of generosity and hospitality.

Guests, expressing beautiful congratulations on the porcelain wedding (expressing sympathy in poetry, prose, and songs is not prohibited), exclaim loudly: “Bitter!”

What to give for your 20th wedding anniversary

Gifts for the 20th anniversary can be symbolic, paired or useful.

It is not forbidden to choose comic or cool gifts that will brighten the atmosphere and add a touch of humor. Especially the prices are souvenirs made by yourself - they can reflect the theme of the holiday or simply be in demand in the family of the hero of the day.

Gifts from friends and acquaintances

Gift ideas for a porcelain wedding are very diverse and depend on the tastes and hobbies of your friends. You can give a porcelain tea set, or you can give a beautiful card full of warm words, a tablecloth embroidered with your own hands.

Undoubtedly, gifts should directly or indirectly reflect the theme of porcelain:

vase with a bouquet of flowers, white or white-yellow;
bonsai tree in a porcelain pot;
kimono and a couple of cups with Japanese patterns;
“tree of happiness” with porcelain leaves;
personalized set of honey and tea - with the names of the spouses, the inscription: “Congratulations on your 20th wedding anniversary”;
decorative plates – you can hand-paint them with good wishes;
interior items: figurines, a mirror in a porcelain frame, a door bell.

It’s worth talking about figurines more seriously.

According to the tenets of Feng Shui, an elephant will bring good luck to a family. And if there are seven porcelain elephants, like those that stood on the shelves of our grandmothers, then complete harmony - health, luck, wealth, peacefulness, happiness of children.

A good gift is a porcelain frog, which brings wealth to the family.

A white horse or unicorn also symbolizes good luck.
Like the cat, the keeper of home comfort, the constant companion of the Slavic goddess Makosh (goddess of fate, fertility, magic, femininity, motherhood). It is interesting that in Navi, the lower world, her image is Baba Yaga. Images of people should be with the meaning of movement - takeoff, dance, eroticism or with mascot plants - clover, fern, lily of the valley.

20th wedding anniversary: gifts and congratulations from children

Children are the most inventive and observant members of the family, and they also know their parents best. Therefore, together with the traditional set (or instead of it), you can give your parents:

a trip to St. Petersburg, to the porcelain museum;
a romantic evening in a Chinese or Japanese restaurant;
“family history” in pictures and photos with funny comments in a binding, stylized as porcelain and the inscription: “Wedding anniversary 20 years”;
beautiful cups, tray made of elite porcelain.

By the way, you can make personalized cups yourself. To do this you need:

Wipe porcelain cups without a pattern with alcohol.
Make notes/drawings using a contrasting porcelain marker.
Dry the product overnight.
Then place in the oven for 60 minutes at 150 degrees - seal.

If the age of the children does not allow them to give expensive gifts to their parents, you can limit yourself to a beautiful handmade card, to which you can add a cup for mom and dad.

Even more gift ideas from children in the video:

Gifts from parents

Parents of the celebrants, as the most experienced and practical members of the family, can give things for the home:

porcelain electric kettle or teapot;
table linen;
beautiful still life with porcelain for the kitchen;
modern digital photo frame.

And for the subsequent sweet life, a bag of chocolate coins will be very useful (the size of the bag depends on your mood).

What to give your husband for his 20th wedding anniversary

Men and porcelain are difficult to compare concepts. But you can’t hide love, it will help in choosing a gift.

It can be:

flash card in a porcelain case;
car keychain with porcelain inserts;
if your husband smokes, give him a porcelain ashtray or hookah;
if he doesn’t smoke, a flask for strong drinks with glasses and an edifying inscription.

Congratulating your loved one does not have to reflect the symbolism of the day, so feel free to give him the things he needs: gadgets, car accessories, perfume.

Beautiful congratulations on your 20th wedding anniversary to your wife

The woman you love deserves a gift for your 20th wedding anniversary that will highlight your admiration.

If she prefers a vintage style, you can give her a cameo, a bracelet with porcelain inserts, a ring or earrings with enamel. If not, then let the decoration be to her taste, but in a porcelain box. And, of course, 20 white roses and a lot of kind words...

Congratulations on your 20th wedding anniversary

And on this anniversary of yours, We wish you to know the power of your love at every meeting. Happy Anniversary! God has given you a lot of patience - After all, 20 years is a long time!
