Paper wedding gift ideas

It's interesting:
"Now everyone, I'm aware that it's a particularly cold winter's day for a wedding, but don't worry... if anyone is feeling a chill running down their spine it's ..."

Husbands and wives traditionally celebrate their first wedding anniversary by giving gifts made out of paper. Sticking to tradition might involve some creative thinking when choosing that special first anniversary present. Use your imagination and give something heartfelt to make this milestone a day to remember.

1. Paper Flowers

   • While paper gifts might not seem like a romantic way to celebrate your first year of marriage, they can be when you use your imagination. Spend your spouse a dozen paper flowers or a dozen roses in a paper bag.

   Writings

   • Using scented stationary, write your significant other a love poem. If you husband or wife is a book lover, track down a first edition of their favorite novel. Give you spouse a steamy romance novel that you can read together and act out. Write a love letter, stick it in a glass bottle and give your loved one a message in a bottle.

   Tickets

   • Tickets are made out of paper so buy your other half tickets to a sporting event, concert or play. You can even buy plane tickets and go on a second honeymoon.

   Homemade Gifts

   • If money's tight, give a handmade book of love coupons for massages, kisses, hugs and sex. You could also create a scrapbook or memory album chronicling your first year of marriage.

   Pictures

   • If you're artistically inclined, draw or paint your partner's portrait. If not, have an artist paint of portrait of the two of you. You can also have an artist draw a caricature of you both. Enlarge your favorite wedding photo, frame it and give it as an anniversary present. For adventures couples, take racy pictures of yourself and compile them for your spouse.

   Other Paper Gifts

   • If you're practical minded, give your spouse a life insurance policy. You can also give origami gifts such as a paper crane, stationary or an exotic board game. If the two of you have been talking about building a house together or even just dreaming about it, give your other half a book of house plans. If you can't decided on a paper gift your spouse would enjoy, give a non-paper gift and wrap it in paper.
