Crystal wedding - 15th wedding anniversary

Crystal wedding
- 15 years of marriage after the wedding. This anniversary is also called the glass anniversary.

The symbol of the holiday is crystal. This ringing, transparent and at the same time fragile material signifies the fragility and beauty of the relationship between spouses. All difficult periods and crises have passed. Between husband and wife, love remained - pure, like crystal. The couple learned to appreciate each other. Every year they discover new facets in their relationship. Like the symbols of previous anniversaries, crystal signifies the fragility of relationships and the need to protect them from rough treatment and harsh words.

According to tradition, on this day spouses break cracked or old dishes together. Popular wisdom says that glass, crystal and earthenware objects accumulate negative energy. By breaking them, the family gets rid of the negative emotions accumulated over 15 years. At the end of the celebration, the newlyweds break their wedding glasses as a sign of getting rid of the negativity of the past years.

The crystal wedding is celebrated among relatives and friends. Witnesses and parents are invited. Children should be present at the wedding as a symbol of procreation and family prosperity. Celebrate the anniversary outdoors or at home. There are crystal products on the table (dishes, vases, etc.). The “young people” drink from wedding glasses.

Gifts for the fifteenth wedding anniversary

For 15 years of marriage, a married couple is presented with items made of crystal or glass. The following gifts have become traditional:

• glasses, tea sets;
• vases, including for sweets and fruits, salad bowls;
• decorative elements: candlesticks, figurines, boxes, photo frames.

Gift for husband/wife

The wife will be delighted with jewelry (crystal items are appropriate). A bottle of perfume or a crystal jewelry box would also be a good gift.

You can present your husband with an expensive luxury drink in an interesting bottle. You don't have to get attached to the anniversary symbol. Men are usually less romantic, so any practical thing will suit your spouse: a mobile phone, a new tool, etc.

Gift from guests to spouses

Guests traditionally present crystal glassware to the family. It is advisable to first agree with other invitees about who is giving what. A non-standard gift would be a lamp or sconce made of colored glass. A good option is a glass photo frame with a wedding photo of the newlyweds.

If guests want to congratulate each spouse separately, then the wife can be presented with a crystal necklace, and the husband with a crystal pen holder.

↑ Gift for 15th wedding anniversary

A fairly large number of guests, including non-relatives, are usually invited to celebrate the fifteenth wedding anniversary. And if spouses are usually only concerned with the question of what anniversary it is, then most guests are concerned with the question of what gift to choose for the 15th wedding anniversary.

↑ Gifts for husband and wife

When choosing what to give his wife for her 15th wedding anniversary, the husband should try to choose what he can give so as not to disappoint his wife’s possible expectations, which are always filled with warmth and romance. Traditional options are:

• A ring with a diamond or Swarovski stone insert, rock crystal is also allowed, as well as any other jewelry with them;
• Perfume bottle:
• Beautiful crystal figurine;
• A clear box to store her jewelry.

Important! When choosing any gift option, you should focus on your spouse’s preferences that have already developed over many years, including with regard to scents and decorations.

When choosing what to give your husband for his 15th wedding anniversary, you should focus on his interests and preferences, since men are less romantic in nature. You can present a smoker with an ashtray, and a beer lover with a crystal beer mug. A good option is men's perfume from a famous brand or a wristwatch decorated with engraving. If your wife is somewhat limited in finances, then you can present a photo collage with the most memorable moments of your life together or bake your spouse’s favorite heart-shaped cake yourself.

↑ General gifts for family

The most versatile and useful option to give for a 15th anniversary would be dishes. Choose crystal stemware or sets of shot glasses for your wedding anniversary. Salad bowls, decanters or tea sets are also suitable. Any other gift made from this material can be supplemented with engraving with beautiful words of wishes to the spouses.

An excellent gift could be a floor lamp, sconce or chandelier, which will definitely become a real decoration of the family nest in the future. In addition, it is worth taking a closer look at furniture that has a glass finish, for example, a chest of drawers or a coffee table.

↑ Gifts for children

Most often, parents do not think about any original gifts for their 15th wedding anniversary and prefer to present something as useful as possible. If they want it to match the symbol of the anniversary, then they should pick up some chic Czech crystal service. An unusual lamp could also be a good option. No less common is the tradition of presenting any interior item with glass inserts.

Important! If you want to choose something quite cumbersome, then it is better to coordinate this option with your spouses, otherwise later it may turn out to be a not entirely pleasant surprise for them.

If you still deviate from the canonical options, then when choosing what to give for a 15-year-old wedding anniversary, you should choose something necessary for both. Examples of such gifts could be air fresheners or coffee makers. Sets of high-quality textiles are also suitable.

Money is always a win-win option. They will be especially relevant if the spouses have planned a joint vacation.

↑ Gifts for parents

Children in families where they celebrate only the 15th wedding anniversary are usually not quite old yet and rarely have any personal finances. Therefore, an unusual collage with photographs of relatives over many years since the wedding day can be a good gift from them. Another option that can be given as a gift from them are certificates or medals made independently.

↑ Symbolic and inexpensive gifts

If you have received an invitation to your friends’ 15th wedding anniversary celebration, then they don’t have to come up with any expensive gifts. For them, the gift option can be any inexpensive gift made of glass, including figurines or small sets of glassware. In addition, they can independently edit a video about a married couple.

Regardless of what is decided to be presented, the main thing for the spouses will be the attention given to them. Therefore, you shouldn’t be too sad if you don’t currently have the opportunity to present something really worthwhile, just try to stick to the theme of the anniversary.

Competitions

Fun games are suitable for entertainment. Competition program options:

1. “Test of knowledge” The purpose of the competition is to check what the husband has learned from family life over 15 years. Only the spouse participates in the game. Several items of women's toiletry are thrown into the bag: curlers, curling iron, foundation, lipstick, eyebrow tweezers, nail polish. The husband should understand just by its outline, without pulling the item out of the bag, what it is and why it is used.

2. “Cartoon” Everyone who wants to take part in the competition is given a sheet of paper and a pencil. Guests draw a cartoon of the spouses. The one who did it best and fastest receives a bottle of champagne as a prize.

Glass or crystal wedding (15 years)

The fifteenth wedding anniversary is popularly called glass or crystal. By this point, the relationship between the spouses has achieved the same purity and transparency that these materials possess, but we should not forget that marital understanding is a rather fragile thing. It, like the purest crystal and glass, can be broken with literally one wrong action. However, if the spouses lived together until their crystal wedding, then they undoubtedly value their other half highly enough and know how to find compromises in difficult situations.

Of course, you need to celebrate your fifteenth wedding anniversary on a grand scale. It is recommended to invite all friends who attended the marriage, as well as those with whom the couple has become friends over the course of 15 years. But still, the main guests at this holiday should be your children and parents. The presence of the former symbolizes continuation of the family, and the latter - respect for age and continuity of traditions. For such an event, it is best to book a banquet hall in a restaurant or invite guests to a cafe, so as not to deprive the hostess of the opportunity to enjoy the holiday.

There will be few special delights in table setting on this day - usually they are limited to the presence of crystal or glass glasses on the table, but if you have the opportunity, use other glassware - plates, side dishes and appetizer dishes. Try to organize an interesting evening so that the guests do not get bored - it is better to use the services of a toastmaster, whose duties will include entertaining the guests with various competitions and comic scenarios. Some sources recommend that newlyweds choose a moment and, after emptying their glasses, solemnly break them, mentally saying goodbye to all problems and hardships - according to tradition, this symbolizes the beginning of a new period in the couple’s relationship and in their lives in general.

Choosing gifts for the 15th wedding anniversary, as a rule, turns out to be quite easy. Typically, guests give glassware, crystal vases and salad bowls, serving dishes and other tableware. Glass figurines and paintings under glass screens are also popular. Guests who want to show off their originality can order engraving on their gifts: poems or unique drawings will add exclusivity to a typical item. Such a gift has every chance of becoming a real family heirloom.
