Paper Gifts

Paper is the traditional gift symbol for the 1st Wedding Anniversary. Paper has been used as a symbol of purity and love since ancient times, and this is reflected in many cultures around the world. In China, for example, paper gifts are given on anniversaries to represent longevity. In Japan, paper cranes are traditionally given to signify happiness and good fortune and in Korea, they’re given to wish for health and long life.

Paper is also a popular theme for weddings so it makes sense that it would be used as a theme for your first anniversary too!

Paper has many meanings, but it is most often associated with the idea of communication and sharing. It can also represent a new start or beginning.

Paper is an excellent gift choice for your first year together as a married couple. It’s inexpensive, easy to find and can be customized with different colours and patterns to fit your personality.

The most popular paper gift ideas are:

A photo album – Create a scrapbook with photos of your wedding day, honeymoon and first year of marriage. Include photos of where you met, where you were married and other important milestones in your relationship.

A guest book – Ask friends and family members to sign their names or write a short note about how happy they are for you on your first anniversary. This keepsake will be something that you’ll want to keep forever!

A love letter – Write down all the things that make your spouse special, from the moment you met until today. Add these notes into a nice envelope and give them as part of your anniversary gift package!
