1st Wedding Anniversary Gifts

1st wedding anniversary gifts are traditionally made of paper so we have come up with some fun ideas to help you find the best gift. The simplest has to be buying an anniversary card or even making it. If you make it yourself you can personalise it with a romantic poem or even a wedding photograph of you both.

If you are the creative type a simple origami creation (the art of folding paper) would be a sweet keepsake, paper folding a heart is a fairly easy one. Other 1st wedding anniversary gifts that you can make yourself are a collage of your first year together. If you keep tickets or programs of things and places you have been to together and photographs of fun times you can stick them all together and frame them.

Painting a picture or photographing a favourite place and then framing it would be very personal and something that you can always look at.

For those less creative but romantic you can frame your first emails! Aaaahhh

Together you could create an anniversary memory book and fill it each year with photographs and souvenirs from the anniversary day.

For a very unique way to create a special memory have a look at our 1 year anniversary gift ideas article.

You can buy newspapers from past dates, the headlines from the day that you got married will be fun to look at in the future.

Talking of newspapers which fit nicely into the paper theme why not take out a personal ad announcing that you wish your partner a very happy first anniversary! Minimal cost but nice and romantic.

For those that love to read you can buy a book by their favourite author, or a special first edition. If you are splashing out on a big gift then how about a subtle paper gift in the form of tickets. This could be for a show or even plane tickets and to complete the theme you could have a book on where you are going as their first gift. I would have the camera and tissues ready for when they open that one.

If you are looking to celebrate your 1st anniversary with a more modern gift, then the modern anniversary list has clocks for your first. Have a look here, for our anniversary clock guide.

Whatever you choose it will be special it is your first and your 1st wedding anniversary gifts and for that reason alone you will remember it.
