A marriage that lasts for 17 years—that's 6,205 days and counting—is certainly something to celebrate. That amount of love, commitment, and history deserves a great wedding anniversary gift. Whether you're looking for an anniversary gift for your partner or one for a happy couple in your life, there are so many great sources of inspiration to celebrate all those years of marriage. Here, we're rounding up a great assortment of traditional and modern 17th wedding anniversary gift ideas, all of which are sure to make your loved one smile.
What is the traditional 17th anniversary gift?
When it comes to themes for the 17th year of marriage, things are pretty straightforward as both the traditional and modern gifting themes are one and the same—furniture. It likely makes a perfect gift too if you've been living together for 17 years or more and your home needs a refresh.
If furniture doesn't fit the bill, you can also take inspiration from the 17th anniversary gemstone—the carnelian—or the flower—the red carnation. The 17th wedding anniversary color (spoiler alert, it's yellow) is a great starting point too, in all its sunny, happy glory.
