Nickel Wedding

Have you thought about how many years of fam­i­ly life a nick­e­lis cel­e­brat­ed? Such an event is cel­e­brat­ed after twelve years from the date of mar­riage. It is gen­er­al­ly accept­ed that by this time the fam­i­ly is very strong, and can solve any issues and prob­lems with­out much effort, over­com­ing any dif­fi­cul­ties. Why did you choose the adjec­tive “nick­el” for this anniver­sary? This met­al has a unique fea­ture — it is very resis­tant to air and water, it is not easy to get. By the way, there is an inter­est­ing tra­di­tion: a nick­el­can be cel­e­brat­ed not on the day of mar­riage reg­is­tra­tion, but on twelve and a half years of mar­riage.

What do they give for a nickel wedding?

If you were invit­ed to a nick­el wed­ding, you prob­a­bly have a ques­tion: what to give? After all, everyan­niver­sary means spe­cial, themed gifts.

Spous­es should give gifts for a nick­el­to each oth­er with a hint of this event. These can be nick­el ear­rings or an engraved nick­el cig­a­rette case. Such gifts, even years lat­er, will remind you of hap­py days spent with each oth­er. A hus­band can give his beloved beau­ti­ful jew­el­ry, and a wife can buy a watch, a lighter or a ring as a gift for her hus­band. You can give beau­ti­ful glass­es or wine glass­es with nick­el inserts.

Guests can present can­dle­sticks, a chan­de­lier, cut­lery, uten­sils, and house­hold appli­ances to a mar­ried cou­ple for a nick­el wed­ding. In ancient times, at a nick­el wed­ding, guests gave unwashed cut­lery and dish­es, and by the way the host­ess cleaned them in the pres­ence of guests, they deter­mined har­mo­ny in the fam­i­ly. You can also show your imag­i­na­tion and give the spous­es a pic­ture with their por­traits and write good wish­es on the frame on the back. Just imag­ine how, years lat­er, the spous­es will want to out­weigh your gift and read with plea­sure what you wrote to them once upon a time.

In any fam­i­ly, house­hold appli­ances will not be super­flu­ous: a sewing machine, mix­ers, a music cen­ter, a plas­ma TV, a print­er, a mul­ti­cook­er, a com­put­er, a cof­fee mak­er, a refrig­er­a­tor, and new­fan­gled gad­gets. You can buy beau­ti­ful bed linen, pil­lows, blan­kets.

On the occa­sion of such an impor­tant event, the heroes of the occa­sion can orga­nize a fes­tive ban­quet, dec­o­rate the hall with com­po­si­tions of bal­loons and fresh flow­ers.

Why don’t the “new­ly­weds” order a lim­ou­sine for two and arrange a walk around the places that are espe­cial­ly dear and mem­o­rable for them. For the evening, you can invite the toast­mas­ter so that the guests not only sit at the table, but also have fun from the heart, tak­ing part in inter­est­ing con­tests and tasks. At the fes­ti­val, the oblig­a­tory ele­ments are good music for danc­ing (tak­ing into account all age cat­e­gories of guests) and beau­ti­ful dec­o­ra­tion of the hall to cre­ate a fes­tive mood. If the finan­cial sit­u­a­tion does not allow orga­niz­ing a mag­nif­i­cent cel­e­bra­tion in a restau­rant or cafe, then you can spend a hol­i­day in nature or receive guests at home — then dear and close peo­ple will once again admire the fam­i­ly well-being of a hap­py cou­ple.

To main­tain this­theme, you can orga­nize a tea par­ty in the old style. Find a real samovar and put it in the cen­ter of the table — let it sym­bol­ize fam­i­ly com­fort and har­mo­ny. If guests pre­fer cof­fee, brew it in a nick­el pot.

This way, you can cel­e­brate a nick­elon the bud­get you can afford, but orga­nize it in a way that is bright, beau­ti­ful, and mem­o­rable.
