It\u2019s been a whirlwind year since you first walked down the aisle together. That first wedding anniversary holds a lot of meaning, marking the end of one chapter and the opening to many others. It\u2019s a time to reflect on the adjustments you\u2019ve both had to make this first year. So how do you mark that occasion in a special way? Birkat Elyon<\/a> has helped many couples over the years, with dazzling, quality cubic zirconia jewelry <\/a>perfect for any special occasion \u2013 including an anniversary. Here are some fun, creative ideas for marking your first wedding anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE TRADITIONAL GIFT: PAPER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPaper\u201d symbolizes the intertwining of threads. Hence, it\u2019s\na perfect metaphor for your union. Need some creative uses for the \u201cpaper\u201d\ngift?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-A \u201cpaper\u201d treasure hunt: print clues out and leave them all\nover the house, leading to a romantic gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Tickets are \u201cpaper.\u201d Get tickets for a special concert,\nsports event, theater presentation or movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Books for the bookworm, sheet music for the music fiend, a\nframed print for the art-lover. How about a paper roadmap for a special getaway\ntogether?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Hide \u201clove notes\u201d all over the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Other paper-themed ideas: a paperweight, jigsaw puzzle,\ncalendar, vintage postcards, nice stationery, subscription to a favorite\nmagazine<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Another fun idea? Plan a picnic or dinner using \u201cpaper\u201d\nplates and cups. Use paper flowers as a centerpiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-An \u201cAnniversary Journal\u201d lets you record how you spent each\nof those special days, the gifts you gave each other, plus any memories of that\nparticular year. You may think you\u2019ll remember these moments, but the pace of\nlife disagrees. Bonus: what a wonderful memento for future family members!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OTHER “FIRST ANNIVERSARY” MOTIFS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The contemporary version of the first-anniversary gift is a\nclock, symbolizing “eternity.” Different takes on this include;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-A fancy watch<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-An elegant sundial for the garden<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-A funky kitchen timer or egg timer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201ccolors\u201d of the first anniversary are gold or yellow, making gold jewelry<\/a> a natural. Pearl <\/a>and peridot gems are also associated with this occasion.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flowers linked are orange blossoms or pansy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, it\u2019s tradition to eat the top layer of your\nwedding cake (assumed you put it away and froze it). Perhaps watch your wedding\nvideo as you snack?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a more energetic celebration, how about whacking away at a (paper) pinata? Have it stuffed with paper money, confetti, love coupons, photos of the two of you\u2026then make a wish for your next year together with every \u201csmack.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, if you\u2019re really stumped, Birkat Elyon<\/a> has a wide range of eye-catching cubic zirconia jewelry pieces for both you and your spouse. They\u2019re guaranteed to help mark your first anniversary in a special way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
