This date is called the “muslin wedding”. The married couple has years of life together, patience and mutual respect.
Sincerely loving spouses went through sorrows and joys, as they swore on their wedding day, and remained reliable helpers to each other. 37 wedding anniversary - although not a milestone date, but should not escape the attention of spouses, their children and family friends.
Relatives - primarily children and grandchildren - do not just congratulate. At the festive table they learn from the invaluable experience accumulated over decades. This is the main tradition when celebrating 37 wedding years.
What kind of wedding is this, and what does “muslin” mean?
Almost every year of family life has a romantic name. What is the idea behind the name muslin wedding, which is celebrated after 37 years of marriage? Muslin is a thin but durable fabric, making it is painstaking work. Delicate, light muslin products are pleasant to touch and wear. In ancient times, weavers strictly monitored the number of cotton and silk threads when creating this fabric. What a difficult job! The 37th wedding anniversary is called a muslin anniversary - just as weavers intertwine threads, so spouses weave the fabric of life: durable, reliable and amazingly beautiful.
Spouses who have lived together for so long will most likely not separate over trifles and everyday issues. Remember the first anniversary - a chintz wedding: chintz is fragile, just like the relationship between lovers. Muslin is also beautiful and thin, but much stronger.
Congratulations on your anniversary
The spouses, who have been together for 37 years, appreciate sensitive and romantic congratulations on their wedding day. It’s difficult to find ready-made wedding day cards with the inscription “37 years” on sale, so it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to get away with a standard set of wishes. All warm words will come from the heart, and the husband and wife will appreciate it!

Entertainment for guests
At such an event, relatives, close friends, and people who know the married couple well will gather. For entertainment, thematic song and dance competitions, culinary competitions and comic games are suitable. Let's look at some as an example:
- Find a wife. Blindfolded, the husband must use his hands to find his wife in a row of several women. At the same time, they must remove the rings from their fingers so that there are no clues.
- Share your experience with young people. To do this, prepare envelopes in advance for the number of guests with wishes from the spouses. There should be parting words and advice from the older generation that they will share with guests. During the celebration, present the envelopes and announce the contents.
- Devote one hour to the memories of your youth. The hosts will be a husband and wife, and the assistants will be guests chosen by the spouses for this entertainment. Each of them will share a funny or interesting story from the life of a couple who have been walking hand in hand for thirty-seven wonderful years.
- A culinary comic competition among the male population. There is room for imagination. It’s not difficult to figure out how to cook, what to cook. Three or four young men must quickly make: a sandwich, eggnog, salad. And then treat the guests. Fun will be guaranteed.
What do you give to your husband or wife?
First of all, on this day I would like to thank my other half for their patience and respect. A muslin wedding gift does not have to contain this fabric. This is what spouses give each other on their 37th wedding anniversary:
- Gift certificates;
- joint family events - excursion, theater tickets, boat trip;
- Jewelry;
- funny symbols of strong relationships: mugs or T-shirts with the same designs;
- muslin clothing.
Muslin is rare and expensive these days and is not easy to find. It comes in two types: cotton and silk. Cotton is good for bed linen, and silk is used to make clothes.
