This date is entered in special register books upon registration. Jubilees are honored and congratulated. The heroes of the occasion are identified as positive family examples for young people.
It is believed that you need to celebrate this anniversary with your family and your closest relatives. The date of the 25th anniversary of marriage is considered unique also because many married couples still have living parents, who stood at the origins of the newlyweds’ relationship, and already have adult children.
That is, the couple is between the older and younger generations. (In contrast to 50-year-olds, who often no longer have parents.) The symbols of this wedding are considered to be pure, light precious metal - silver.
Therefore, celebrants of anniversaries are often called “silver” and are given mostly silver items for weddings, which give positive energy to the recipients. Silver also has a number of healing and magical properties. These are the properties that a couple who has lived together for 25 years needs.
A couple who shared sorrows and joys for 25 years. These qualities: strength, health, beauty, patience, the magic of blocking untidiness and grief, confidence in the future, stability of relationships.
What's the best way to celebrate the silver lining of a relationship?
If the anniversary couple has a good attitude towards holidays, then it is best to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their marriage as their very first wedding.
Of course, the scenario will change a little, and the faces of the newlyweds will become a little wrinkled...But if the eyes of the newlyweds are still shining, then this is a sure sign that wedding ceremonies are necessary.
Most often, children of anniversaries are involved in preparing the festive event. They discuss common features with the heroes of the occasion and hire wedding professionals. A professional host will tell you what to focus on during the holiday, who is best to invite and where to celebrate the planned event.
It is believed that the people closest to the newlyweds are invited to the 25th anniversary. There may not be very many of them, but these are people who were there in joy and sorrow. Or maybe there will be exactly 25 people? Very symbolic! We continue: 25 dishes, 25 wishes, 25 kisses, 25 tips from the “silver” newlyweds, etc.
The event itself can be divided into two parts: ceremonial and table. It is better to spend the first part in the registry office. The presenter will repeatedly make those gathered admire the wedding couple, applaud her, and maybe even show sentimentality and “shed” a tear.
The second part can be done anywhere. The most suitable option is a cafe or restaurant. Further, it can be a gazebo in a park or in a house. Show your imagination in choosing a room!
Signs and beliefs
The main symbol of this anniversary is the silver rings that are exchanged between the couple.
The rings are either worn on the middle finger of the right hand or replace gold ones until the next anniversary. A silver ring symbolizes family happiness and its further duration.
The ritual of ablution is also associated with the celebration of the silver anniversary. Ablution is performed in the morning, when the newlyweds, getting out of bed and holding a silver jug with their hands, go to the river. Having reached the place, the wife must wash her husband three times from a silver jug:
- Due to the first ablution, the spouse becomes 25 years younger.
- Secondly, it washes away all the burdens and hardships that have been acquired.
- The third symbolizes a happy and long life together.
In addition, the celebration of a marriage anniversary in the century before last included an invitation to the priest to perform a second wedding ceremony.
This tradition still lives today and serves as an excellent occasion for those couples who have not been married by the church and are just about to undergo this ceremony.
What should newlyweds wear at a wedding?
There are no special recommendations regarding clothing for a special event. It is believed that the couple is becoming young again. Therefore, the outfits of young people should differ from everyday clothes.
Let it be light colors, symbolizing tenderness and youth. The bride has flowers in her hair, the groom has a boutonniere. A bouquet in the hands of the wife is a must!
Clothing must be comfortable, depending on the weather and time of year. Experts recommend wearing dresses rather than suits for wives. The dress is a symbol of integrity. For my husband - a white shirt. Wear comfortable shoes on your feet; it is better to take slippers with you.
A woman always remains a woman. There is light, pleasant makeup on the face. In your hands is a small handbag or clutch containing lipstick and a mirror.

Festive table
If you ordered a holiday in a cafe or restaurant, there will be no questions with the menu.
Experienced chefs will definitely offer a lot of options for dishes to suit your pocket. But, if you decide to welcome guests at home, then you need to think through the menu in advance. After all, the anniversary is not an ordinary one, but a silver one. There is no need to simplify here. You are trying for yourself! All products must be of high quality, the dishes are beautifully presented and tasty. Give them romantic names: “Husband in Love”, “Good Wife”, “Love and Tenderness”, etc.
Let your imagination run wild. In addition to salads, you can prepare: “julienne” and call it “silver from the young.” Bake the trout and garnish it with herbs. There should be two hot dishes. It’s good to serve a signature dish from your wife, or maybe your husband.
Don't forget to decorate your creations with original names. Fruits are a must. For the sweet table, the signature dish is a cake with twenty-five candles. On this day, you can remember your very first wedding and sell one lucky piece to those gathered.
The script should be developed by professionals
By independently choosing a script, people expect to interest the majority of guests with interesting competitions, a selection of dance music, songs and toasts. But not everyone can do this. Therefore, it is better to entrust this matter to a professional who earns his living from this.
Having many years of experience allows them to find an approach to any category of public in order to win them over. A real toastmaster will be able to bring even the most modest of guests into the circle, select songs so that the whole hall will pick them up, and there will simply be no end to those who want to take part in competitions. They manage to choose the music in such a way that both young and old are satisfied.
Gifts from guests
1. As noted, silver weddings require the gift of silver, so guests can use their creativity and follow the path of least resistance by choosing a gift based on the theme. These can be silver glasses, key chains, figurines, jewelry, candlesticks, trays, dishes, etc.
2. Original gifts. These are the surprises that can surprise and delight the newlyweds. For example, a feature film. The plot will be invented by the screenwriter, and the newlyweds can only play along with the artist’s plan.
- Or maybe it will be a documentary, then everything will be natural and the heroes of the holiday may not even guess about the planned gift. In this case, it would be good to “raise” the family archive and find the necessary stories. The moment of surprise can play a very big role. Not only will the newlyweds watch such a film themselves, but it can also become a family heirloom and be passed down from generation to generation.
- A simple slide show set to music can be original. Silver jubilees and their guests will be pleased to see the chronology of their lives. You can add a little humor here. The main thing is not to overdo it.
- A photograph processed in a special program will also be an unusual gift for a wedding anniversary. The frame should match the photo and not be cheap.
- A photo collage made by a professional or an amateur can also decorate a holiday and bring joy to the newlyweds.
- Gifts made with your own hands on this day will not only delight and surprise, but will also become the object of display to guests at all upcoming family events.
- A tree or flower planted on the day of the family's twentieth anniversary will be a wonderful incentive to celebrate the next significant family anniversary.
- Tickets for some concert. When buying this gift, you need to know the interests of the silver newlyweds. It's no secret that many families save on cultural events. Therefore, a gift from this area is always desirable. Why not go to the circus, or to the theater, to a benefit performance of some artist, etc.? Such hikes not only lift your spirits, but also rejuvenate your soul.
- Drive. Tourism for older people is very popular. Again, not every couple will spend money on such entertainment from the family budget. And the gift is just right! This type of gift is most often given by children because they understand the need and usefulness of the chosen surprise.
- Balloon flight. This is one of the most popular gifts. Besides, he is very romantic. Imagine: rising into the air in an open basket, flying over the city, mountains, hills, ponds, forests... Truly romantic. Only people who love you can give such a gift. It's not cheap - that's for sure!
- A gift cake of ten kilograms will also surprise your anniversaries. Moreover, you can decorate it on any theme.
3. Classic gifts. For lovers of the classics, there are no barriers to themes!
In any souvenir shop you can find the surprise you need:
- Vase. Floor-standing, tabletop, handmade, etc...
- Watch. In the style of “retro”, “vintage” and others. Tabletop, wall-mounted, hand-held...
- Textile. Sets of towels, blankets, bedding sets, bathrobes and more will always be needed in everyday life.
- Appliances. This is generally a huge field for activity. Vacuum cleaners, food processors, microwave ovens, washing machines, refrigerators, TVs, etc.
