Wedding Anniversary Calculator - Gifts by Year

How to use this tool

1. Enter your wedding date.
2. See how many years, months, and days you have been married.
3. View gift themes for your completed anniversary year and the next named gift milestone.
4. Check the dates, weekdays, and status of day-based and named anniversary milestones.

How to use the anniversary calculator

Enter a past or current wedding date. The calculator shows completed calendar years, months, and days, the date of your next anniversary, and traditional and modern gift themes for your completed anniversary year. It also lists selected anniversary years and day counts, including 100, 500, 1,000, 5,000, and 10,000 days. Future dates are not accepted.

Anniversary years advance on the calendar date, rather than after an average number of days. Month and day totals use actual calendar months, and day milestones count calendar dates so a daylight-saving change does not add or remove a day. For example, 100 days after January 1, 2020 is April 10, 2020. Each milestone also shows its weekday and whether it has passed or is still upcoming.

Traditional anniversary gifts

Milestone anniversaries

• 25th (Silver): The first major milestone. Silver represents the durability and value of a long marriage. Large family gatherings and silver-themed gifts are traditional.
• 50th (Golden): The golden anniversary is celebrated with particular reverence. In many countries, couples married 50 years may receive congratulatory cards from heads of state. Gold symbolizes the highest achievement in longevity.
• 60th (Diamond): The diamond anniversary celebrates exceptional hardness and rarity - qualities shared by a 60-year partnership. Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip celebrated their diamond anniversary in 2007.

How the calculator handles February 29 anniversaries

For couples married on February 29 (a leap day), the anniversary falls on February 28 in non-leap years. The calculator applies this convention by default. Some people prefer to celebrate on March 1 in non-leap years; if that is your preference, simply note the adjusted date when planning. The completed-year count, next-anniversary date, gift year, and named milestone dates all follow the February 28 convention.
