Throughout the years, certain traditional symbols and gifts have been associated with specific wedding anniversaries. This typically includes items such as clocks for the first anniversary, silver for the 25th anniversary and gold for the 50th anniversary. Although there is no traditional gift related to the 31st wedding anniversary, you can be creative and find a why to incorporate the concept of 31 years together into your gift.

'31' Jewelry

Jewelry can be custom made to specifically commemorate 31 years. Consider a pendant in the shape of the number 31, a bracelet or ring with 31 gems or a pair of earrings in the design of the number 31. You can have the number 31 engraved on a piece of jewelry such as an anniversary band, a pocket watch or a locket with the couple's wedding picture inside.

Personalized Gifts

There are a variety of gifts that can be personalized to commemorate a 31-year anniversary. This can include a silver picture frame with the number 31 in the design, t-shirts with the couple's picture and the number 31, crystal what-knots or crystal vases with engravings of the number 31 or even an embroidered pillow or wall hanging with the phrase "31 Years Together" and the date.
