A wedding anniversary is the anniversary of the date a wedding took place. Traditional names exist for some of them.

The names of some anniversaries provide guidance for appropriate or traditional gifts for the spouses to give each other; if there is a party these can be brought by the guests or influence the theme or decoration. These gifts vary in different countries, but some years have well-established connections now common to most nations: 5th Wood, 10th Tin, 15th Crystal, 20th China, 25th Silver, 30th Pearl, 35th Jade, 40th Ruby, 45th Sapphire, 50th Gold, 60th Diamond, and 70th Platinum.

The traditional 10 year anniversary gift is tin or aluminium, which symbolize preservation, longevity and the ability for marriage to last through time.
