What is the Tenth Wedding Anniversary?
The 10th wedding anniversary is a significant time in a marriage – you’ve made the decade milestone! It is often referred to as the tin anniversary as that’s traditional gift associated with this year. It represents a decade of shared experiences, love, and growth. Tin celebrates the enduring strength of a marriage.
"If you’re one to follow the 'rules', the traditional 10th wedding anniversary gift is tin and the modern being diamonds," explains gifting expert Elisabeth Noel Jones of GiftMeChic. "For the 10th anniversary milestone, I lean into diamonds, but I love the idea of giving the gift even more meaning by re-purposing diamonds from an existing family heirloom and using them to create a 'new' piece of jewellery with your spouse's aesthetic in mind. You could even create it together as a fun 10th wedding anniversary project.”
What Does Tin or Diamonds Symbolise for 10 Years of Marriage?
You give tin gifts for the 10th wedding anniversary as tin is a symbol of strength and durability. After 10 years together, your bond is strong and resilient, much like tin, making it a wonderful and fitting tribute to your lasting connection. We really love that there is an array of different tin wedding gift ideas, with something for every budget.
The modern gift for a 10-year wedding anniversary is diamonds. Diamonds are incredibly strong and durable, much like the enduring nature of your marriage. Diamonds represent the strength, beauty, and eternal nature of your commitment, making them the perfect gift to commemorate a decade together.
"Buying an anniversary gift for your spouse shows that you are honouring the special day between you and the life that you are building and have built together, no matter how much time has gone by," says Elisabeth Noel Jones. Her words remind us that even after many years, it's important to continue celebrating your partner and the love you've cultivated together.
