- Accompany the presentation of a surprise for the 3rd wedding anniversary with a song, a comic poem, the husband can be given a gift by an oriental beauty (his wife or relative in disguise), and his wife - by a pumped-up macho man.
Show your imagination and take action.
Where does this name come from?
After three years of living together, husband and wife have already developed their own specific views and traditions, and now they have become so close that they have literally learned to feel each other’s “skin.” Having gone through many difficulties that the spouses faced, they took their relationship to a new level. This is no longer a “paper” wedding, which can easily tear, because the skin is denser and stronger, as well as flexible, elastic and “alive”, just like the marriage of lovers at this time stage.
From the point of view of psychologists, this particular period is a turning point in people’s marital relationships, because if they were able to overcome this difficult period and still remained together, then such marital ties have a great chance of continuing for a very long time. Therefore, the third wedding anniversary is considered to be a significant date and is celebrated on a grand scale. Which is what we'll talk about below.
Bad gift ideas
Unsuccessful gift ideas will be things made from leatherette.
If you don’t have enough money for a genuine leather product, it’s better to give a neutral gift.
It is also not customary to give one of the spouses an expensive item and the other a symbolic gift.
A leather gift is a symbol of the anniversary. It doesn’t have to be expensive; it’s more important to give the gift to the spouses from the bottom of your heart with kind and sincere wishes.
How to celebrate this anniversary
It is customary to celebrate the third year of a wedding in a narrow circle of the closest people. Among the prepared dishes there must be meat. As for alcohol, red wine is best.
If your wedding anniversary falls during the warm season, then organizing a picnic in nature would be an excellent alternative to home gatherings.
What to wear for the holiday
Ideally, spouses should be dressed in leather.
But in extreme cases, they can wear leather accessories: a belt, bracelet, pendant, handbag, leather jewelry.

After the golden jubilee, every wedding anniversary brings respect and pride. We continue to introduce you to the list of weddings by year after 50 years of marriage:
