Anniversary Gifts Engraved for 60th Wedding

Engraved 60th wedding anniversary gifts are a lovely way to commemorate a long marriage. Having an anniversary gift engraved with a few words that express how you feel about the couple and their anniversary makes the gift especially meaningful for them. It can be much more important than the gift’s price.

Engraved 60th wedding anniversary gifts may be more difficult to find than you think. Yes, you could give an engraved tray or plate - and your gift would be appreciated. However, many senior citizens are trying to reduce the clutter in their lives. They usually have stopped entertaining on a large scale. So unless you know such an anniversary gift is wanted, look for something with more significance.

The 60th wedding anniversary is traditionally the diamond anniversary, so any anniversary gift that is shiny would be appropriate. The color white is best.

Engraved Photo Album

Photo albums make wonderful engraved anniversary gifts. Look for a white wedding photo album with a silver front. We found one with a flower border, and a large heart in which to engrave a message such as this:

“60 Years Together - Sweethearts for Life”

White non-wedding photo albums can also be purchased with a silver-colored metal plate on the front. Have the metal plate engraved with the couple’s names and wedding date plus the anniversary date.

Engraved Scrapbook Album

A larger engraved white album can be turned into a scrapbook holding 60 years of memories. An anniversary gift such as this will leave the couple reminiscing with delight. You can be sure they will look at it many times, talking over all of the wonderful memories of their lives thus far. Enlist family help to make the scrapbook. Look up photos and events from the past 60 years. Include notes and best wishes from family members on the scrapbook pages. A piece of the couple’s favorite song - a recipe - a picture of the house(s) where they have lived. Include family stories that will spark pleasant memories.

Engraved Wedding Day Time Capsule

Another good engraved 60th wedding anniversary gift would be a silver-colored metal time capsule. A time capsule can be ordered online. Have it engraved with the couple’s wedding date, their names, and the 60th anniversary date. Fill the time capsule with things from the “time” of their wedding date.

* A photo from the wedding
* A list of songs popular 60 years ago
* A list of movies from that era
* Headlines from wedding date newspapers
* Information on historical events

Find your time capsule information on the Internet at websites such as Fact Monster, Info Please, and On This Day. If the couple has friends who knew them at the time of their wedding, ask those friends to contribute a story or memento for the time capsule anniversary gift.

Whatever anniversary gift you give, show that you have put thought into it, and it will be appreciated for that alone.
