People have been getting married since the beginning, and people also love to create traditions. Therefore the traditional wedding anniversary gift list was born. Over time there have been a variety of lists, which combined to form the traditional list we know today.

Then people decided the traditional wedding anniversary gift list was old fashioned. So they gave it a bit of refreshing, and the modern anniversary list came into existence. Though today one could argue that it is not so modern!

Following along on one or a combination of these lists can make for fun anniversary times. And really takes the stress out of thinking of a new present each year!
