Agate wedding: 36 years since the wedding - what to give, how to celebrate, congratulations in prose and poetry

Discover the best gift ideas for Men, Women, Girls and Boys.

Many people are interested in the question of what the 36th wedding anniversary is called. Not everyone considers it necessary to have a celebration, but for some, every wedding anniversary is important and not celebrating it for them means disrespecting this day.

However, there are those who completely believe that celebrating 36 years of marriage is a bad omen that will cause discord in the family. When 36 years pass from the wedding day, people call it an agate wedding. And if this wedding was called that by the people, it means they still considered it necessary to celebrate it. In addition, a married couple who treat their life together with trepidation simply cannot miss such a date.

Agate wedding symbols

Why was agate stone chosen to celebrate this anniversary? Everything is quite simple, since agate is a semi-precious stone that is endowed with mystical meaning. It is said to bring prosperity and wealth. In addition, the stone is so strong that nothing can destroy it. Over the 36 years of living together, the spouses’ relationship is also strong and indestructible.

The color of the agate is amazing, each stone has its own fancy patterns that are not like the others. You can look at pebbles for hours and not find a single identical pattern. Each family is also individual, different from the other.

There is an interesting psychological test where the spouses must examine the surface of the agate and tell what they saw. If a husband and wife have built the same associations, then it means that the couple has built a strong relationship over the years.

In Europe and the United States, the thirty-sixth wedding anniversary is called the bone china date. This material is quite fragile, but at the same time durable and attractive. You need to look at bone china products to enjoy its delicacy and transparency. With strong impacts, cracks appear on such material, and difficulties can also arise in family relationships if they are not taken care of. But for sure, over 36 years, the spouses have learned to take care of their relationship, because otherwise they would not have been able to live for so many years!

Options for congratulations on the nickel anniversary of marriage

Options for congratulations on a nickel wedding can be as follows:

Cool. Compose a congratulation in prose mentioning funny situations from the spouses’ life together.
Beautiful. When composing congratulations on your wedding day, you can remember all the beautiful memories of 28 years.
To parents. Children say congratulations on their 28th wedding anniversary to their parents, remembering all the wonderful events they had together.
In verse. You can write such a congratulation yourself, using a ready-made poem as a basis. Or order from a professional. Congratulations to a husband from his wife in verse will sound very touching.

Agate wedding traditions

In Russia, they began to celebrate each anniversary only recently and no specific traditions have been formed, but several traditions still exist. Spouses give agate jewelry to each other: a bracelet, chain, ring, cufflinks, etc. In addition, the husband and wife can add anything at their own discretion, because they know each other’s preferences better than anyone.

Many married couples refuse to celebrate this anniversary, some do it because the date is not round, and some believe in superstitions. They are afraid that their life together, like porcelain, may break, but they should not believe in such superstitions. After all, the married couple have lived together for so many years, so their relationship certainly cannot be destroyed if they celebrate their 36th wedding anniversary.

You don't have to have a grand celebration. Sometimes a romantic evening in a cafe for two or a modest family dinner with children and friends is enough. The spouses should also choose congratulations for each other and prepare gifts for their 36th wedding anniversary.

Why do some families not celebrate this anniversary?

Despite 28 years having passed since the wedding, there are couples who do not celebrate their nickel anniversary. There are folk signs that say that the relationship between spouses during this period can be “peak”.

There is another explanation why the 28th wedding anniversary is not celebrated. Psychologists say that couples who have been married for 28 years may be experiencing a crisis associated with age or health problems.

During this period, couples are advised to pay attention to each other, spend more time together, and be with their children.

How to celebrate an agate wedding

Celebrating the 36th anniversary means having an excellent reason to gather all your friends, relatives, and children under one roof, but this can be done in different ways:

Let's all go to the cinema together. Spouses probably have little time to do this. Thus, they will be able to spend their time interestingly and take their mind off everyday problems. An alternative to going to the theater is to attend a concert or theater. You can choose anything, the main thing is that it brings pleasure. For some, a simple trip to the zoo will be a joy and will give them an unforgettable experience.
Going on a trip on your wedding day is also a very common option. The choice of route will depend on financial capabilities. But even a trip to a neighboring city can become an interesting event and bring a lot of fun.
Organize a party where your closest people will be present. The table is set, the room is decorated, and entertainment is organized. An alternative to such a pastime would be outdoor recreation. If the weather is warm outside, then it is better to go to the bosom of nature, taking marinated meat and other treats with you.
Organize a holiday for two and visit a cafe, restaurant, spend a romantic evening to make the 36th anniversary unforgettable. This trend has become increasingly popular recently.

Pictures and cards suitable for the event

You can make cards for congratulations on a nickel wedding yourself. It is very good to use photographs of spouses.

Postcard option

You can draw a picture from a joint photograph of the spouses. A cool picture can be given as a congratulation on a nickel wedding.

The image of rings is a win-win option

It is advisable to insert funny congratulations or cartoons into the postcard. Then she will please and lift your spirits.

What to give for an agate wedding

The name of the celebration usually determines what to give for the wedding. You can do it like the Europeans and give products made of fragile, thin porcelain. Tableware and tea sets will be an excellent decoration for your home, and it will be so nice to use them!

A porcelain figurine can go perfectly with the collection of other figurines available in the couple’s home. When choosing a figurine, you can be guided by the symbols of the year according to the Chinese calendar. Anyone who wants to choose original gifts for an agate wedding can give figurines of the spouses themselves, located on a souvenir platter.

Agate jewelry and accessories will surely appeal to you, because this stone attracts with its beauty and carries the energy of wealth.

But it is not necessary to give a gift related to the symbolism of the anniversary; you can choose something that suits the preferences of the spouses. If the heroes of the occasion are connoisseurs of beauty, they will certainly appreciate the picture; if they like to spend time in nature, then the barbecue will make their time spent even more interesting. Art lovers will be interested in visiting an exhibition or museum.

Both spouses also exchange gifts, taking into account each other's preferences. On this holiday, why not give something that you have long wanted, but have not had the opportunity to purchase. Perhaps it will be a new fishing rod for your husband or a coveted tablet. You can buy your wife new household appliances that will make everyday life easier. Jewelry is never superfluous; spouses give it to each other with memorable inscriptions on it. A bouquet of white roses from your husband will be a wonderful addition to the whole holiday.

Children should also think about what useful and necessary gifts to give to their parents on their wedding anniversary. It is possible that their home is missing some small appliances such as a toaster, mixer, yogurt maker and other things. Or you want to give something for your health, for example, pay for a massage course or a day at the spa. Of course, any medical equipment - blood pressure monitors, massagers will also be useful to them.

But if the parents have all this, then they can give a symbolic wedding gift - a variety of agate products. But the most desired gift for spouses may be a romantic evening for two, organized by the couple’s children.

What to give to spouses

If you are invited to a 31st birthday party, you have to think about what kind of wedding is being celebrated and what to give the couple.

On a solar anniversary, you can give any things related to light. An excellent gift is the now fashionable salt lamps, which are designed to create a comfortable environment and improve the microclimate in the house.

Gold or gilded items will also be appropriate, but you need to take care of the pairing of the gift: a brooch for the wife and a pin or tie clip for the husband. A pair of vintage candlesticks will also go with the theme. Adult children can give their parents a swing with a canopy, sun loungers, a set of garden furniture, anything that allows them to take advantage of the sunny weather, relax and sunbathe a little. All this can be given as a gift for your 31st wedding anniversary.

Which cake to choose

A birthday cake is a sweet surprise for guests and spouses. When choosing a cake for a nickel wedding, you should take into account the tastes of each spouse. Depending on the number of guests, you can calculate the weight of the cake. The filling for the cake can be nuts, fruits, caramel, condensed milk. The choice of fillings is very varied. Since the cake is served at the end of the holiday, the decorative cream should be light.

Cake decor depends on your imagination. As an example: jewelry in the shape of a nickel box. This may mean preserving family values and traditions.

Decorations for the cake can be figurines of spouses, or figurines reflecting activities and hobbies. Write “nickel wedding” on the cake and note how many years the spouses have lived together.

How to name an album

A family album is an heirloom, a memory that will stay with you for life. It can be compared to a book that talks about you and your relationships. Like any book, an album should have a title. The title can be placed on the outside, inside of the cover, or on the first page. What should it be like? Preferably succinct, memorable, beautiful, but the main thing is that you like it.

You can use common classic options, for example: “Wonderful couple”, “Our anniversary”, “The most beautiful holiday”, “Another anniversary together”, “Our fabulous day”. Or like this: “The most wonderful anniversary”, “An unforgettable day of happiness”, “The best couple in the world”, “The two of us and it’s great”, etc.
Another option is to come up with an introductory phrase in addition to the title that reveals the title of the album. Let the main phrase be succinct and short, and the caption below will lift the veil of secrecy and tell you in more detail about the purpose of your album. For example, the title sounds like: “Our happy day,” and the introductory phrase: “How happily we celebrated the anniversary there and there.” Or the title of the album: “The Happiest Couple,” and the introductory phrase: “About how happy we were on such and such a date in such and such a place.”

The main thing is that the title is catchy and not boring or bland. Turn on your imagination, be creative and inventive. Let the title of the album express what unites your family, makes it two halves of a single whole.
