About 22nd Wedding Anniversaries

Your 22nd wedding anniversary might not seem particularly special – if only considering its numerical significance. However, every year of a successful marriage deserves to be recognised in style, with the same passion and pressure as those coming before (and after).

Celebrate your 22nd anniversary with the beauty and durability of copper – symbolising prosperity, perfection and good fortune.

This versatile metal is fitting as both a traditional and a modern theme for your 22nd wedding anniversary, as it can be used in everything from coins and jewellery to cookware and home goods.

Just how you celebrate will, as always in life, depend on your respective personalities, the amount of time you have available and your budget.

How to Celebrate Your 22nd Wedding Anniversary

Book a trip to somewhere you both are keen to visit. If you want to incorporate the traditional copper material (and your budget can stretch to overseas travel), you could visit a country known for its high copper production. Such as Chile, for example, which has the largest copper reserves in the world.

For 22 years, your relationship has no doubt made it through many challenges, and proven to be quite versatile. Celebrate this resilience with gifts you can enjoy together, like kitchen goods for cooking a sumptuous anniversary dinner or adding some modern décor touches to your home.

There are no symbolic anniversary flowers for this anniversary, but you can still choose a lovely mixed floral bouquet.

For a colour-themed party, the traditional shade is green. The colour of nature, it symbolises growth, harmony, freshness and fertility. Green has a strong emotional correspondence with safety, and dark green is also commonly associated with money.

Through love all that is bitter will be sweet… Through love all that is copper will be gold…” Quoted by: Rumi

22nd Wedding Anniversary Gifts for Him, Her… and the Couple

The traditional symbolic gemstone is spinel. Its red variety is considered to enhance vitality, while green and pink spinel are said to encourage love and compassion.

Violet spinel is associated with spiritual development and yellow is linked to the intellect. So, with such diversity, this gemstone would make a perfect and traditional 22nd wedding anniversary gift for any couple.
