1st Anniversary Gift Ideas

Traditional 1st Anniversary Theme for Gifts: Paper

The concept of paper has been linked to the first anniversary with two symbolic meanings:

First, paper is like a blank canvas, reflecting the unwritten future of the couple. The pair will work together to create their own story over the course of their marriage.

Second, paper is readily torn, reminding the couple that after only one year of marriage, they must retain their trust and faith in each other during the challenges and strains they will encounter ahead.
