When do we celebrate a diamond wedding?
As enduring and precious as a diamond: the diamond wedding is celebrated on the 60th anniversary. Over the years, the couple have grown closer together, experienced and endured many ups and downs and all of this has made their marriage valuable and enduring – just like a diamond.
Diamond wedding anniversary: celebration and speech
On this highly festive occasion, the couple are happy to make a new vow to each other. Depending on how agile the couple are, the celebration can be held in a larger or smaller circle. One thing is certainly not to be missed: a wedding speech for the couple. Such a long time must be properly honoured, and it is not important to go through all of their milestones. It is much more important to emphasise one or a few milestones that highlight the special nature of the marriage and the special qualities of the couple. You can find even more tips in the article Wedding speech.
Diamond wedding: decoration
Diamonds naturally play the leading role on the 60th anniversary. Diamonds moulded from acrylic or paper are suitable for decorating the table, while garlands of diamonds add a festive touch to the banqueting hall.
Silver accessories are a perfect match for the diamond glittering celebration, and the cake also shines in white with silver candles. Organza or lace also look very elegant as table decorations for the 60th wedding anniversary.
Invitation cards for the diamond wedding
The special symbol – the diamond – can also be found on the invitation cards and/or the thank you cards after the ceremony. Alternatively, photos of the couple are a popular option for the invitation card and thank you card! Whichever motif the couple chooses, the 60th anniversary invitation cards should be sent out well in advance. This will give the guests enough time to prepare for the celebration and to buy personalised gifts.
Gift ideas for a diamond wedding anniversary
As with the silver wedding anniversary, the celebrating couple usually have everything they need for their own household. In addition to gifts of money, the couple will be delighted to receive personalised gifts, such as an engraving on champagne glasses or a family tree engraved on a piece of wood.
Photos are particularly personal, whether in the classic collage style or compiled as a wedding newspaper. The photos can also be printed on a cushion or candle or used as a background image for a clock – a more recent picture of the couple next to the one from the wedding 60 years ago.
Here are all the gift ideas at a glance:

Poems
Sixty years ago you stood at the altar. And the days of the future were not yet clear to you and others.
But today in the family circle you look back on 60 years of marriage journey, for the goal that no longer seems to exist, children and grandchildren stand up.
Love’s melodic treasure, it changes as if in flight, 60 years of marriage remain in the same sentence, time becomes a fugue.
It’s beautiful when two stars stand close together in the firmament,
Beautiful when two roses burn red in each other.
But in truth! it is always most beautiful to behold:
How two who love each other stand blissfully together.
Exactly 60 years ago today
you experienced love
at the time of the wedding.
As radiant as the diamond
radiant and unbreakable
incorruptible in fidelity,
you walked the path hand in hand.
Overcame all your worries
gave each other strength.
You two have achieved a lot.
Now look forward to tomorrow with satisfaction.
Whatever veils the future holds,
you will not flinch from it.
Surely happiness will lead you
one day to the wedding of grace.
