Happy first anniversary! We’ve got some beautiful first wedding anniversary gift ideas for you. The anniversary gift theme for your first year is paper. That may seem a little arbitrary, but the meaning behind the paper theme is quite special. On the one hand, paper is inexpensive and celebrates the modest beginnings of the first year of marriage. On the other hand, the paper theme symbolises the first ‘chapter’ of your marriage. As a married couple, you have begun to write the story of your lives together, page by page. This blank piece of paper is just the beginning of the rest of your love story. With this in mind, here are some fab ideas!
