What to give for 1 year of wedding - congratulations
First, you need to decide what this anniversary is called. This is a calico wedding. There are several versions of the origin of this name.
- The first is that usually by this time the spouses had already had a child or the wife was in an interesting position. Therefore, it was customary to bring chintz to a married couple, which would be useful for a baby's diapers.
- According to the second version, this name symbolizes a relationship that has not yet gained final strength in a year. Therefore, they are compared with a not very durable material - with a cloth.
- Another version is based on the fact that for a year of living together, the spouses' bed linen was actively exploited, so it needs to be replaced. Calico linen is perfect.
