Every wedding anniversary must be celebrated, including the Paper Wedding. Many people cherish more for the Silver and Golden Weddings, but the truth is that at the beginning of the marriage the relationship is strengthened and love is put to the test.
In this post we have prepared a list with suggestions for Golden Wedding gifts, romantic messages and decoration for this very special moment. If you are in need of ideas, this post will help you with everything you need to know about Paper Weddings.
What is its Meaning?
Paper Wedding is the name given to the first wedding anniversary, but few people know its real meaning. Paper is a fragile material that tears and breaks easily. It represents precisely the fragility of this first year, after all, it is the beginning of a relationship in which the couple is getting to know each other more deeply and especially learning to deal with each other’s quirks and flaws. Many marriages break up in the early years because of this lack of compatibility and understanding, so it’s important to celebrate each step of strengthening love.
Creative Gift Ideas
Gifts for Paper Weddings should be more creative than actually expensive, after all, the couple is newly married and has just built the house. There’s nothing they really need, so the best gifts are home decor or something the two of you can use together.
These frames with the couple’s name and a cute message are a real treat! Any couple who are celebrating Paper Weddings will be delighted. Not to mention that it is a beautiful and cheap gift, with less than R$50 you can find wonderful options, especially on the internet.
If you know that the couple is a fan of a character, this can already be a tip to bet on the right gift. Mickey and Minie’s bed set is great for anyone who is a fan of this couple of mice. There are other options for characters such as Superman, Daisy and Donald Duck, among many others.
Who doesn’t like to get a good wine? If the couple consume alcoholic beverages, wine is one of the most universal beverages in the world and it is difficult to find anyone who doesn’t like it. It is a gift that the couple can enjoy together in a super romantic moment.
Personalized towels are a great example of a useful gift. Nothing is more boring than giving a gift that will be forgotten in the drawer.
These frames are super trendy. It could be to store wine corks or even with a message about money for the trip you know the couple really wants to do.
Romantic Messages
Regardless of having a party or not, romantic messages are an excellent option to celebrate Paper Weddings. The loved one must always be honored and there is no better day to remember this love than on the day of the wedding anniversary.
This is a nice message to send to a couple of friends who are celebrating their wedding anniversary. Sometimes we don’t know what to say or how to send congratulations, but these messages are a simple way to show how much you root for them.
Showing the couple how much you care about them and the good things they want is one way to further strengthen the friendship.
Finding the right person is for sure the greatest gift and the meaning of it all, so how about a message thanking you for the gift it is to have that person in your life? They are simple messages, but they delight and make all the difference in each other’s day.
Paper Wedding Decorating Tips
Unlike the Golden and Silver Weddings, Paper Weddings are usually a more intimate party, for very close family and friends. It can be a delicious dinner at home or in a room suitable for events. The important thing is to celebrate in style, so we’ve prepared some photos with decor ideas in different styles to inspire you, even if you can’t spend a lot of money.
Simple
The simple Paper Wedding decoration is nice for a small dinner at home, whether just for the couple or also for family members. In the first year of marriage, the couple is still stabilizing, possibly paying for the mortgage on the house or car, but that doesn’t mean they need to give up the decoration. The simple decoration is beautiful and brings the delicacy and joy of this very special moment.
This table decoration is very romantic and simple, there are little paper and EVA hearts scattered around. Red roses are a special touch and for less than R$10 you can do it all. To save the tip is to be creative.
This is another example of a simple table. Only white trays were used with the sweets, the cake and some red hearts. It cannot be denied that it was beautiful!
This decoration is very colorful and used a home furniture as support. It is proof that it is not necessary to buy or rent expensive things to create a beautiful setting that represents the couple’s love.
A good idea is to use items in the decoration of Paper Weddings that can be used in the decoration of the house after dinner, such as the word LOVE in MDF and the couple on the cake.
The pink and green decor is super cute and doesn’t need to have many decorative items. In this photo the polka dot curtain in shades of pink was a differential and was passionate.
Exhibiting the couple’s photos is a great way to fill the space and still show guests the moments that were memorable for both of them. Yellow flowers are an example that the decoration doesn’t just have to be red and white.
Paper
Paper is a very versatile material, there are several textures and grammages, so it is possible to create a series of decorations. Out of ideas? We made a selection of photos with some tips on how they can be made at home, check it out:
Paper flowers are very popular and are an alternative for those who want to decorate the wall, but do not want to resort to traditional panels. This decoration is super simple, just fold the paper as if it were a fan and then join the parts with glue so that it is round and beautiful.
You can place one paper flower on top of another, alternating paper sizes and tones, like those in the photo.
Paper balls are beautiful and ideal for decorating the ceiling and giving the feeling of movement. The idea is the same as for the other paper ornament: add 20 sheets of tissue paper. Make a fan, tie it in the middle and then loosen the sheets of paper to form a ball.
The way the paper flowers were placed on the ceiling is quite original and gives the feeling that the flowers really grew there. Great balcony, right? Flowers can be attached to the ceiling using extra strong double-sided tape.
Strings with paper hearts are a good alternative to decorate windows, stairs, doors and balconies. They are also easy to make and bring the joy of vibrant colors to the party decoration.
Photos of Decorated Paper Wedding Cake
Decorated Paper Wedding Cake is very important, in our culture all birthdays are celebrated with cake. As the celebration is usually smaller and for few guests, it may not make much sense to use the fake cake. For large parties, it’s nice to leave the scenic cake on the table and just take the cut cake out of the fridge when serving the guests.
The cake can be multi-story or smaller, like this one. The decoration is simple and beautiful, it is possible to make it at home even using whipped cream from a box. A cake like this serves about 10 guests.
The Paper Wedding Cake with American paste is beautiful and allows you to create many delicate details, like this one with flowers and the couple in a romantic moment on top.
This is another cake decorated with American paste ideal for a small party. It serves up to 15 guests and the detail with the couple of birds is very delicate and romantic, everything to do with the occasion.
For those who want to make a whipped cream cake and don’t have much practice with decoration, the cake in the photo is an excellent inspiration. The cake itself has a simple whipped cream frosting without any spout effect, but the paper and flower decoration made all the difference.
These are cakes most used in larger parties and with more guests, as each floor can serve 25 to 30 guests.
Templates for Invitations and Favors
Regardless of the number of guests, Bodas de Papel deserves special invitations and party favors, so we’ve separated some ideas.
The Paper Wedding invitation turns out to be very similar to the wedding invitation, but it can also be simpler. The lace detail made the invitation more delicate. Who wouldn’t want to receive a beautiful invitation like that?
This is an example of a simpler invitation and it still looks beautiful. This invitation can be made at home or printed at the print shop, but it’s nice to buy or make envelopes in the main color of the decor for a special touch.
This invitation with 3D effect is super creative and more elaborate. When the guest opens the cake with the couple’s name, it projects upwards, giving a super cool and dynamic effect.
Wedding party favors don’t need to be super elaborate, this one on the stick is just a thank you for being at the party.
For those looking for a unique souvenir, the bottle with origami is very creative! The Tsuru is a sacred bird in Japan, representing fortune, longevity, health, happiness and good luck. Popular belief believes that making 100 Tsurus with paper folding is a way to attract good things, that is, it is a souvenir that attracts good vibes for both the couple and the guests at the Paper Wedding party.
Origami is all about the occasion, it’s a great correlation between a paper party favor for Paper Weddings.
