14th Wedding Anniversary

Between raising children, working on your careers, and all the other chaotic details of life, the 14th anniversary is one that some people pass by without marking. Instead, plan to get away together for the weekend or overnight. Ship the kids off to your mother's place at least for one night if you can. By this time in a marriage, we are so busy and often feel pulled in every direction. So plan ahead and set aside alone time for you and your spouse.

The traditional material for the 14th anniversary is ivory, but please only ever buy products that are made using imitation ivory. Never purchase real ivory because that would support an illegal and brutal elephant poaching industry. Better yet, make a donation to the elephant rescue charity in Tennesee listed to the left. They provide forever homes for elephants who have been mistreated in circuses or found living in inadaquate and cramped zoo conditions. It is truly a gift from the heart!

For jewelry, there are excellent sites listed on this page with elephant-design jewelry made by artisans around the world. However, if you know your wife would not wear elephant designs, feel free to go with a more classic jewelry design using the alternative material gold. Perhaps pair it with a material that is visually reminiscent of ivory, such as white pearl. Alternative jewelry materials for the 14th are opal, agate, and bloodstone.

If you do give jewelry, consider presenting it to your wife in the jade-colored elephant jewelry box to the left which will become a permanent keepsake reminder of your 14th wedding anniversary. We feel this adds a really nice special touch to the ivory theme while still being elephant-friendly. Alternatively, this would also be the perfect box in which to enclose a love note or love coupons.

Regarding flowers, ideas would be to give either the carved tagua roses (to the right), gold roses (right column farther down) in a white vase, or fresh white roses from the florist.

- From our Visitors -

I brought out my ivory colored wedding dress, and we danced around the living room together to our favorite romantic songs. This really got us in the mood! ;)
