20th Year Anniversary Gifts

A wedding anniversary is a great way of commemorating and celebrating the love between two people. It is also a wonderful way of remembering your wedding, or looking back at some of the memories that you as a couple have made together.

Different wedding anniversaries actually have different meanings, and each year or decade have various types of gifts that are traditionally given to celebrate.

When it comes to wedding anniversary gifts, there are gifts, flowers or even gemstones given out of tradition, however these are specific to the years that the couple has been wed.

About 20th Wedding Anniversaries

A twenty year marriage is a feat in itself, and a wonderful milestone for many couples. For a twentieth wedding anniversary, the traditional gift would be china, or porcelain.

This is a tradition that has been kept for years, as the china is meant to symbolize the beautiful life that the couple have built together. As china is fragile in nature, it acts as a reminder to nurture and care for your marriage as you would china dinnerware. 

This has been a pastime for centuries, and many people continue to give gifts made of porcelain or china for this occasion, however in latter years, more modern gifts have been given, with platinum being the theme. 

Platinum is the new, modern take on 20th wedding anniversary gifts, as the strong nature of the platinum is meant to signify how strong the union is between two people in marriage.

5 Unique Ways to Celebrate Your 20th Wedding Anniversary

After twenty years of marriage, you will want to celebrate your love!

You may want to think about some unique ways in which you can celebrate your 20th wedding anniversary, and do something amazing with your partner. Show your partner how much they mean to you by doing something different on your wedding anniversary. 

Although we know that the expected gift for a 20th wedding anniversary is typically china, why not flip this tradition on its head and actually book a trip to China? China is an amazing country, with exceptional, unique cuisine.

You can explore Chinese culture, and visit places such as Beijing, Shanghai, see the wonders of Xi’an, or explore the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong!

If China seems like a little too much for you, or a little too far away, then why not head to San Francisco’s Chinatown? You can enjoy all of the delights and dishes of Chinese culture, without the long flight. 

Perhaps you prefer a little more low key celebrations. If this is the case, then why not celebrate your 20th wedding anniversary with your partner, some friends and family over a delicious Chinese meal? You can reminisce about your wedding day and share stories about wedded bliss over the last two decades. 

If giving flowers to your partner, then why not give them in a china vase? This is a great way of giving them their favorite flowers, yet still celebrating your achievement of twenty years together.

You could even plan a Chinese themed party, with lanterns, decorations and food pertaining to the culture to celebrate your love. On the other hand, you could use the emerald theme for a 20th wedding anniversary party with friends.
