40 years of wedding - how much has been lived for this period! This date is called a ruby wedding. The bright red color of this gemstone reminds that the spouses were able to carry love through their whole lives and became almost family to each other. Of course, such an anniversary of seed life cannot be ignored and gifts, so the question "40 years of wedding - what to give?" relevant for all invited to such a celebration.
Based on the fact that 40 years of wedding is a ruby ​​anniversary, it is believed that red must be present in gifts. A perfect gift will be jewelry with rubies or various interior items (vases, candlesticks, figurines) inlaid with these precious stones. The only "BUT" - gifts of this kind are far from affordable for everyone. However, you can come up with a ton of other options! Bed linens (red or with a burgundy pattern ), a beautiful ruby-colored service, a tablecloth and napkins with bright scarlet roses or a picture with an elegant bouquet - and this is not the whole list! Also, for a 40 year wedding it is appropriate to give a bottle of high-quality red champagne or wine (and for those who like to give presents “on a grand scale” - 40 of these bottles). And if you wish, you can ignore the “ruby” theme and present just the right and useful gift. It can be anything - household appliances, dishes or interior items. By the way, if in my head there are absolutely no options and the ruby ​​newlyweds do not answer anything to the question of what they would like, you can give money. It is advisable to beat a cash present - present money in a thematic envelope with the image of rings and roses, or surprise the spouses with a stylish money bouquet or tree that can be made to order.
40 years of wedding is a holiday in which it is simply impossible to do without flowers! Red, burgundy or bright scarlet gerberas, tulips, dahlias, gladioluses or chrysanthemums will serve as a wonderful addition to any gift and once again remind you that the ruby ​​color is the color of love and life! And for those who want to really surprise and please anniversaries, a gift in the form of a basket filled with flowers (which should be exactly 40 pieces - one for each lived year) is perfect.
And if 40 years of a wedding are celebrated by loved ones and loved ones, then you can give them a real holiday! After all, not all ruby ​​newlyweds have the strength, health and time to organize a large-scale celebration dedicated to the wedding anniversary. Therefore, you can take all the preparatory and organizational moments into your own hands, after having previously discussed with their heroes all their wishes and preferences.
When organizing a celebration of 40 years of a wedding, a script is something that needs to be given increased attention. In order to choose the best option, you should find out from the spouses whether they want to arrange a feast for the whole world or prefer to limit themselves to a quiet evening in a narrow circle. Depending on this, you need to build a scenario for the future holiday.
For a large-scale celebration, it is necessary to choose a cafe, invite musicians and take care of the appropriate repertoire (this issue needs to be discussed separately with anniversaries who may not at all share modern musical tastes), to solve the issue with the host-host, who can organize and amuse the guests. And then it all depends on the imagination. It is advisable that the ruby ​​theme on this day sound everywhere - red flowers in vases, red wine and champagne in glasses and more red dishes and desserts on the table! For all guests, you can make personalized invitation cards in burgundy-scarlet tones, and hang posters on the walls with wishes to the ruby ​​newlyweds and their photographs. It is also quite appropriate to design a festive room (it doesn’t matter - a banquet hall or a room in an apartment) with red balloons, ribbons, streamers, flowers, bows and garlands.
