A year after the wedding, the newlyweds celebrate a chintz wedding. During this time, the couple got used to each other, got used to it, but the love that bound their hearts continues to burn with a bright flame of passion. As the significant date approaches, the relatives and friends of the young couple are increasingly wondering what to give the spouses for their wedding anniversary.
Why is the wedding called chintz?
"Calico simplicity" - in Russia this epithet is often used, which characterizes the first wedding anniversary. It is believed that the relationship of the spouses during this period is crystal clear, since they have not yet been overshadowed by any anxieties.
However, a family life of one year is not very durable, as is the chintz fabric, which is very easy to tear. Therefore, if the newlyweds love each other, they should make every effort to preserve and strengthen the marriage, and slowly but surely move towards the anniversary of the golden wedding, the symbol of which is the precious metal.
Why do they give chintz?
The memories of the magnificent celebration are still fresh, when the guests shouted to the young couple: "Bitter!" A carefully tidied wedding dress hangs in the closet, and a bottle of champagne tied with a beautiful ribbon is waiting for the couple to open it on their first wedding anniversary.
To celebrate or not to celebrate a year of marriage is a private affair of a husband and wife. However, most newlyweds still prefer to arrange a celebration dedicated to the family's birthday. By the way, few people know that in translation from Sanskrit the word "sitras" (it was in India that chintz was invented and began to produce it at the beginning of the 11th century) means "colorful", so the wedding day should be fun and with a twinkle.
The task of relatives and friends invited to the event is to prepare a worthy gift for 1 year of the wedding.
Since ancient times, on this significant day, it was customary to present a chintz for diapers to a husband and wife, because by this time the young family was already expecting the appearance of the first child.
Nowadays this custom has become a thing of the past, and chintz is no longer considered a valuable gift, as it quickly fades and loses its presentation. Today, on the first wedding anniversary, they give any textiles: fabric curtains, tablecloths, blankets, towels, bedspreads, that is, items that will not only be useful to the young, but also largely decorate the interior of the apartment.
Traditional gifts for a gingham wedding
You can donate clothes for the first wedding anniversary. So, two bathrobes will become a practical and pleasant gift.
If the guests decide to give the young spouses bed linen, then it would be quite reasonable to find out in advance the size of the bed. Agree, it will not be very pleasant to find out that their gift is unclaimed for one simple reason - you presented a one and a half set, while the spouses, due to the presence of a double bed, use larger linen.
As for the fabric, preference should be given to coarse calico - a comfortable and practical material that does not lose, like chintz, an aesthetic appearance, and inexpensive, unlike satin and satin.
The low cost of coarse calico allows you to purchase several sets for a gift for the newlyweds, which they can change depending on their mood. But it is not worth giving silk linen, it is better to do it during the celebration of a pearl wedding, the second name of which is "silk".
Useful gifts for your first wedding anniversary
Guests who are of the opinion that practical gifts are more suitable for young spouses can move away from established traditions and present them with household appliances that they have not yet had time to acquire in a year of living together. If the newlyweds do not yet have a multicooker, microwave oven, food processor, blender, kitchen scale or high-quality iron, then they will be especially pleased to receive them as a gift.
First 
a year of family life, the young wife comprehends the basics of culinary skills, and maybe the newly-made spouse also loves to cook. You can solemnly give them a recipe book, which will eliminate the need to search for the necessary ones on the Internet. A useful gift will take its rightful place in the kitchen of the newlyweds.
If young people have a small living space, then it is quite appropriate to give them vacuum bags for their first anniversary in order to compactly place things in them that do not fit in a closet. It is quite possible that a plastic universal chest of drawers will perfectly fit into the interior of the apartment, where later young mothers and fathers will put their baby's things.
Practical gifts include: an exquisite tablecloth with do-it-yourself napkins, tableware, sofa cushions in calico pillowcases, something to serve, a tea set, crystal glasses, interior items that will decorate the room and serve as a sweet and touching reminder of a meaningful date.
Friends who were not present at the wedding are not prohibited from giving an envelope with money for the first anniversary, which the newlyweds will dispose of at their own discretion.
The mother-in-law and mother-in-law, like housewives with extensive experience, can agree among themselves and arrange the dwelling of a young couple in the chintz style: hang new curtains, lay out tablecloths, napkins, hang towels.
And of course, a separate home or their own car, which parents can give to their beloved children, will be a magnificent and most necessary gift for a young couple.
The category of "practical gifts" is quite extensive. If the guests know exactly what the newlyweds need, they can safely present them with the desired gift, regardless of whether it corresponds to the traditions of a chintz wedding or not. It will be quite enough to beautifully pack the present and prepare a congratulatory speech that will accompany the moment of presenting the gift. By the way, printed fabric decorated with embroidery can serve as an original packaging material.
But to give on the anniversary of things, directly or indirectly hinting at the appearance of children, is considered bad manners, because not all married couples plan to acquire offspring in the near future.
Therefore, you should not solemnly hand over diapers, undershirts and caps to the spouses. However, if young people are ready to have children, then an electric heater, a small blanket, and an air ionizer will become a much more desirable and practical gift for them.
It is also not customary to give friends intimate gifts, such as underwear.
Gifts for the soul
However, gifts to newlyweds do not have to be practical. It is quite appropriate to give them on their anniversary not material values, but gifts that will cheer them up and will be remembered for a long time:
Well, if the plans of young people do not include the celebration of a chintz wedding, then a party organized by friends in which the spouses will take part as invitees can serve as an excellent gift for them. And the place and form of the celebration is completely unimportant - a banquet in a restaurant or cozy home gatherings, the main thing is a cheerful company and a great mood!
Original gifts for a gingham wedding
If those invited to the wedding want their gift to be remembered for a long time, to be not only necessary, but also unusual, it is enough for them to show a little imagination and imagination, and their present will not leave the newlyweds indifferent.
What else do they give for one year of the wedding? During the period they lived together, the newlyweds probably have accumulated many beautiful photos, some of which are stored in electronic form, which is not very convenient if they need to be shown to a large number of people. For this purpose, a beautiful box will be very useful to them.
You can buy it in the store or do it yourself. To do this, you need a tin or cardboard box, which is made out using the decoupage technique.
Spouses gifts to each other
Following a long tradition, on the first wedding anniversary, a husband and wife give each other gifts made of chintz, such as a shirt and a sundress. Nowadays, chintz products can be replaced by things made from other materials, such as satin or satin.
It is not forbidden to give intimate gifts, for example, a set of exquisite underwear for the wife and pajamas for the husband. If the spouses plan to give each other gifts of a different plan, then they still have to exchange chintz handkerchiefs and seal the gift with a passionate kiss.
In addition to textiles, young people can buy paired pieces of jewelry that will always remind them of a memorable day.

The calico wedding is called the first wedding anniversary. This is a very touching holiday that marks the first serious milestone for young spouses. Therefore, it is so difficult to decide what to give friends for a chintz wedding. The choice of a presentation must be approached responsibly and try to make sure that it not only matches the theme of the holiday, but also turns out to be useful to the family.
As traditionally celebrated a gingham wedding
If your friends are going to celebrate a chintz wedding, be sure to ask if the holiday will be traditional or according to the author's script. This will help you choose the right gift. Traditionally, the holiday included several important elements:
- Young people must give each other chintz handkerchiefs. At the same time, they can tie on any knots "for memory", stand with their backs to each other and say their wedding vows anew. Handkerchiefs with knots must be kept in a secluded place.
- For the holiday, the husband and wife put on chintz things. Traditionally, it was a shirt and a sundress, respectively, but today they can be replaced with any dress, shirt, etc.
- The premises for the holiday are decorated with a garland of cotton rags, as well as napkins and textile toys.
At such a holiday, gifts should be traditional.
What gifts are given for a chintz wedding?
By tradition, chintz items are presented on the first wedding anniversary. Most likely, this is due to the fact that earlier couples tried to give birth to their first child as early as possible, and not infrequently already had a baby by the first anniversary. The child needs a lot of nappies and undershirts, so the guests brought them chintz. Modern couples treat family planning a little differently, but the tradition of chintz weddings has been preserved among the people. Therefore, presentations such as the following are still relevant for modern chintz weddings:
- Festive chintz tablecloths;
- Bed linen and bedspreads;
- Napkins and towels;
- Bathrobes;
- Warm blankets;
- Curtains and cushions.
If a young family has recently moved to their own home, and is only establishing a life without parents, such gifts will be very useful. If you are not sure whether your present will be useful to the recipients, it is better to ask in advance or give something universal, for example, money in a chintz bag.
If your friends' life has long been arranged, and they do not need tablecloths, linen and napkins, you can present something symbolic. A family photo album in a cover decorated with bright chintz will be a good present. You can also pick up a fabric-covered box or a beautiful pincushion.

There is still no formality, solidity, jubilee significance and a touch of years lived together in it. Only awe, love and burning eyes. What to give for a chintz wedding to please a young couple?
What is customary to give for the first anniversary
Due to the lightness, delicacy and seeming instability of family relations, chintz has become the symbol of the first anniversary - a translucent, fragile material. With him, as well as with a fragile marriage union, it is worth treating with care and affection.
Stormy relationships, strong feelings, quarrels that flow into "eternal love" - this is the initial stage of living together.
With their presents, guests hint to husband and wife: enjoy emotional closeness, but handle your marriage responsibly and carefully.
Despite the fact that the main symbol of the day is chintz, for the first wedding anniversary you can give products made of fabrics of all stripes. 
Traditional gifts for a gingham wedding:
- Bed linen with a romantic print (cotton, silk or satin);
- A set of terry towels for the bathroom;
- Blankets, blankets, pillows, kitchen textiles;
- Curtains, bedspreads, carpets, covers;
- Bathrobes for young people with the common surname of the spouses embroidered on them.
You can look in stores for unusual gifts made of chintz for 1 year: handkerchiefs with romantic embroidery, "grandma's style" nightgowns, lingerie with a creative pattern, personalized pillowcases in the spirit of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith".
Original gifts for a gingham wedding
With great trepidation, the young will react to the handmade gift for the chintz anniversary. This can be a cozy chunky knit blanket, a pillow case with exquisite embroidery, or a patchwork bedspread.
Close friends can give funny gifts for a chintz wedding.
Stylish paired aprons with fun applications will be useful for young people to create joint culinary masterpieces. And cheerful pajamas with humorous prints and inscriptions will add perky notes to their family life.
A joint portrait on canvas can be a good solution. A picturesque painting depicting a husband and wife, hung in the living room or bedroom, will turn the dwelling of the young into a real family estate.
Gifts for the wedding anniversary must be shared, couples, family... You should not present a tie to a man, and an elegant scarf to a lady.
Choose an item that both can use... This is all the more important when it comes to such a modest, very first date in the life of lovers.
Useful Wedding Anniversary Gifts: 1 Year
If gifts from friends are often comic, creative and original, then presents from parents differ from household practicality.
Moving away from fabric symbols, relatives try to buy young people something useful in everyday life.
The best choice is home appliances: a slow cooker, a dishwasher, a blender, a mixer, and a food processor. An exquisite gift option would be a robot vacuum cleaner, a waffle iron or, for example, an airfryer.
Household accessories are absolutely appropriate as a presentation for the first anniversary. A young couple is just equipping their nest, and therefore will be delighted with any practical little thing.
Friends can donate a set of elegant glasses, an electronic kitchen scale, a spacious stewpan, a double boiler or a set of stylish jars for tea and coffee.
Gifts to each other for the first anniversary
Mutual gifts can be used to mark the first important event in family life.
Previously, a man gave his lady a sundress, a skirt or a light dress, and a woman in return gave a cotton shirt.
Today, clothes remain a popular present - both bought in a store and handmade.
A lady can knit an unusual sweater or scarf as a gift to her husband for a chintz wedding.
If you are sure of the size, you can buy jeans, a personalized bathrobe, a shirt or branded sneakers for your beloved.
Stylish leather accessories such as a belt, wallet or briefcase are also relevant.
A gentleman can give his wife a piece of jewelry on her first anniversary. Traditionally, men choose earrings or pendants for their "second halves".
And if you decide to purchase a ring for your beloved, do not be too lazy to decorate it with sentimental engraving. Before handing over, wrap the exquisite jewelry in an openwork chintz shawl or put in a decorative cotton bag.
In addition, a man can organize a present-impression for his lady. A delicious dinner on the roof of a skyscraper, an original studio photo session in the spirit of "love story", a horse ride, a trip to the coast, an unscheduled vacation in Italy - all this will bring a romantic entourage into the everyday hustle and bustle.
