About 22nd Wedding Anniversaries

Your 22nd wedding anniversary might not seem particularly special, but if you are at all into the spiritual meaning behind numbers then you will know that the number 22 is considered a master number and is particularly powerful. It is a sign of good luck and positive things to come.

The 22nd anniversary is celebrated with copper; a beautiful, durable material and one symbolising prosperity, perfection, and good fortune. Plenty of items around the kitchen and home are made of copper, as well as jewellery and finer items. It is certainly a versatile gift material and one you can have some fun with.

Whatever your budget, let’s explore some gift options to suit you.

How to Celebrate Your 22nd Wedding Anniversary

Copper is thought to have many health benefits including improving bone, immune and nerve function. Why not book a spa day for two which involves copper infused treatments or a spa treatment with a soak in a luxury copper tub. You could follow with a couples massage – what a romantic way to mark your 22nd wedding anniversary!

Depending on your budget, a trip to Chile could be a unique way to incorporate the traditional copper theme. Chile in South America has the largest copper reserves in the world. So, if you’ve been looking for an excuse to visit Chile, your 22nd anniversary could be the one!

A fun way of celebrating your 22nd anniversary is with a cocktail making evening, either on a cocktail making course or from the comfort of your own home. Moscow Mule cocktails (think ginger and lime – yum!) are an ideal nod to your anniversary as they are traditionally enjoyed in copper mugs.
