Celebrating 20 Years of Marriage 

Each wedding anniversary is a special, and should be recognized and celebrated.  The 20^th  anniversary is a major milestone for any married couple.  Those who have the pleasure of presenting their spouse with a 20^th wedding anniversary gift know that marriage is both rewarding and challenging, have demonstrated enduring love and commitment to building a life with their souse.  

On your 20^th anniversary, it is important to let your spouse know that your love and commitment is just as strong today as it was on your first anniversary, maybe even stronger.  One of the best way to show your spouse that you recognize the significance of this milestone anniversary is to present him or her with a 20^th wedding anniversary gift that symbolizes the lasting strength of the bond you share. 

The recommended traditional gift item for the 20^th wedding anniversary is china.  Also a traditional wedding gift, china is a symbol of the delicate nature of love.  Like china, love is both fragile, beautiful, and enduring when it receives proper care.   

After 20 years of marriage, your spouse may or may not appreciate additions to your set of formal or informal wedding china.  While such items are often appropriate gifts, there many more creative ways to incorporate china into your 20^th anniversary celebration without adding plates or serving wear to your china collection. 

For couples who tend to mark their anniversary celebrations with a trip, assuming that time and budget allows, a trip to China may be the perfect way to celebrate their 20^th anniversary.  Maybe if going to Asia is a bit more than you can do, a trip to the famous Chinatown region of San Francisco might make an excellent anniversary getaway.   

Platinum is the modern gift suggestion for recognizing one’s 20^th wedding anniversary.  For those who like to combine both traditional and modern anniversary gifts, presenting a platinum anniversary ring or other appropriate platinum item to your spouse over dinner at your favorite Chinese restaurant might be an excellent option.  Platinum is said to represent both the long-lasting nature and the unbreakable strength of love and marriage.
