Traditionally, the 50th wedding anniversary is celebrated with gold, and this custom goes way back to ancient history!
In the Roman Empire, husbands used to give their wives a silver wreath to celebrate their 25th anniversary and a golden one to commemorate 50 years together. Many things have changed since then, but this tradition remains strong!
Seize this opportunity to give something golden to your spouse, and remember that it's not just the metal that counts. Since it's a symbol, you can go for gold-colored (yellow?) and gold-plated things too!
Anyway, here are our favorite gift ideas for your 50th wedding anniversary! :)
