What is its Meaning?
The tradition of representing the years of marriage with the names of substances and materials is well known. In general, as time goes on, the objects used are more valuable and solid. Even though each wedding anniversary is an important date, some are celebrated more than others. This is the case of the Silver and Golden Weddings, which celebrate the 25 and 50 years of union respectively.
Another one that is also quite celebrated are the Tin or Zinc Weddings. Tin is a silvery-white metal considered to be soft and relatively resistant. Zinc is also a bluish-white chemical element. It is widely used together with steel and iron as it creates corrosion protection.
These characteristics give the meaning of the celebration of a decade of union receiving this name, since tin represents the flexibility that couples need to overcome difficulties and differences. On the other hand, zinc refers to a barrier that the couple has already created for so long, so that external elements and defects do not harm the relationship.
Romantic Messages
To celebrate a date as important as the Tin Wedding, it’s always good to have some romantic messages to send to your partner. The ideal is always to write a custom one, but if you need some ideas, here are some examples:
How about a message that counts the years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds of the relationship? Another cool idea is to bring together all the couple’s achievements in these 10 years together, such as children, addresses, family vacations, among others.
You can also tell your story like a book, starting with the famous “once upon a time”. Simpler messages are also good options to surprise the pair, like the one below, which means: “you will always be mine forever“.
Translation: “I loved you before, I still love you. I love you now and will always love you”.
How about showing your love how much you fall in love with him (a) every day or saying that you want to spend the rest of your life with your partner (a)?
In addition to saying so many nice words to your partner, you can also enjoy these messages in another way. If you have chosen to celebrate your Zinc Anniversary with a party, you can make a picture (or several), for example, with a beautiful romantic message.
Zinc Wedding Gift Ideas
For gifts, you can opt for a object or a experience. You can take your partner (a) on a tour of places that you like and that are important to the couple. Or, you can also prepare a second honeymoon so they can enjoy a few days off.
But, if you want to celebrate these Tin Weddings by buying a nice item, a good idea is to bet on items with tin and zinc or another metal that resembles these elements. Can be keychains, clocks, jewelry case, cups, vases, picture frames, jewelry, between others. In addition, you can also make a recording on the object you bought, putting the date of celebration, for example.
Tin Wedding Decoration Tips
If you decided to celebrate the Zinc Wedding with friends and family, you need a decoration that remembers the elements that represent this date. A good idea is to focus on items and objects ashes and silver, which are generally the colors that tin and zinc remain when finalized in their industrial processes. But, you can also use white and blue, which also represent the second element.
How about using white furniture and curtains in the decoration? And to top it off, you can use a gray mat and put the same color on candy and cake. But you can also do the opposite, adding a towel and a gray background and finishing with white treats and decorations.
A nice tip for simpler decorations is to use cans. They look amazing as vases and can be hung or used to decorate tables.
But it’s not just cans that can serve as vases. You can also take advantage of that old teapot or pots you have at home that are useless.
But of course you can also use a ‘conventional’ vase. These round ones look amazing on the walls!
If your party is at night, how about using candles in the decoration? You can choose a transparent model with gray details, as in the example below.
If you are having a little trouble setting up the party with gray and silver, you can also bet on white and blue. These tones can be in the decoration of tables, flowers and cake.
And if you want to make guests participate even more in the celebration, a good tip is to set aside a bottle, paper, tape and pens. Using these materials, your friends and family can leave nice messages for the couple or remember moments spent together.
Do you remember the romantic messages we talked about earlier? Here is an example of them used in a whiteboard.
In addition, you can also create a special frame for the guests, so that they feel even more special in this Tin Wedding Celebration.
Photos of Decorated Tin Wedding Cake
If you’ve decided to throw a party to celebrate the Tin Wedding, you’ll need a cake to celebrate. And for the decorated options, it’s nice to use shades of gray and silver. In addition, the cake can also have the name of the couple, the wedding and the years of union.
How about betting on a super cute decoration for the cake?
Look what an amazing idea! A white cake with ‘zinc’ dolls with hearts.
But if you want a little more traditional options, you can also bake a cake with layers and bet on the same shades.
Flowers are also amazing in cake decorations.
Invitations and Favors
Every party needs invitations and party favors and celebrating the Zinc Wedding can’t be different! For the invitation, it is essential to use gray or silver. In addition, you can also place other elements that represent the wedding, such as alliances and hearts.

Of course, for the party favors, there is no lack of pieces that have or resemble the elements of the Zinc Wedding. Therefore, a good tip is to give keyrings for guests to remember the celebration.
Another cool idea is to customize cups and distribute them to friends and family.
But, if you’re one of those people who likes to give away sweets, you can bet on cupcakes decorated in white and gray or buy macarons of the same hue.
And to complete the party favors, how about making personalized cards with the couple’s date and name?
