60th Wedding Anniversary
Diamond jewelry
is the classic gift for a 60th anniversary. For the husband, a gold tie tack, cufflinks, or ring are perfect.
For the wife, there is a wide choice of things from which to choose. First think about her style and what she already has in their jewelry collection. If you are unsure of her preferences, always go for a classic style. A gold brooch is another great idea for this anniversary because it comes in so many styles, you can match to her personality, and it is likely that she won't already have something too similar.
As a gift for the couple, we like a gold-framed group family photo, possibly studded with diamond or crystal. Using their wedding photo is another idea that will surely be appreciated!
A family heirloom quilt containing the picture memories from their lifetime takes a bit of effort to put together, but the looks on the anniversary couple's faces will be worth it! If the quilt option interests you, see the link in the right green column.
A bouquet of diamond white roses is also appropriate. Alternatively, fine crystal flowers or a crystal figurine also tie into the diamond theme.
Add sparkly silver glitter or crystal rhinestones to cards, invitations
and gift wrap.
Greetings can be solicited from Queen Elizabeth
II, the President of the United States, or, in other countries,
the Prime Minister.
For a more exotic gift, give the couple a
trip to Arkansas where they can visit Crater of Diamonds State
Park which is a public diamond mine.

- From our Visitors -
My parents recently celebrated their 60th anniversary. Us kids made a collage of their early dating days, wedding, and throughout the marriage raising us, and then we framed it in a gold trim. A lot of tears in the room that day! They now have it hanging in their kitchen.
