Four Great Gift Ideas for the 70th Wedding Anniversary
Wedding anniversaries are nice to celebrate. Some years are more momentous than others, but I think we can all agree that a 70th wedding anniversary is quite an anniversary celebration. If you have the privilege of meeting a couple who are about to commemorate this anniversary, you know that it can be difficult to figure out what kind of gift to receive them.
Celebrating 70 years of marriage would be a miracle and a feat. Pick something that celebrates that 70’s journey and all the fruits of it. Recruit all descendants (children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, cousins, etc.) to send mementos, photos, drawings, newspaper headlines on scrapbook paper and I would compile a “This Is Your Life” scrapbook for the couple. Also give them a DVD, a retrospective of your life before and during your marriage with family members talking about and with them. A gift like this recognizes the anniversary couple with respect.
A great 70th wedding anniversary gift for a couple is a photo or story quilt designed and sewn by a family member. The quilt could represent the highlights of the couple’s accomplishments and memories. Have some favorite photos or symbols applied to represent them. Wearing favorite old and outdated pieces of clothing containing special memories will add a nice personal touch.
A special gift for a special couple. Try to find one of these: Images now that from a certain angle change to another image. It would be great to have the original wedding photo of the couple and then what they look like today. I remember! Your gift should be a memorable item, something that shows how rare a 70-year anniversary is.
Gathering the family for dinner would make a nice 70 year anniversary gift. Someone from the family will prepare a video with the family history including sad and happy moments. At the end of the video it is said that no matter how difficult or easy life has been, what really matters is that the couple has been together for 70 years and will be until the end.
These 70th wedding anniversary gift ideas are just the beginning. Try to think of one to pay tribute to the couple celebrating 70 years of marriage.
