Every shelf is already crowded. The gifts that land are the ones that bring the family nearer, remove a chore, or create a day worth keeping.<\/p>\n<p>That is why the diamond year flusters so many sons, daughters and grandchildren. The traditional and modern 60th anniversary gift is diamond, but the true question is not how much to spend. It is what makes the coming months easier and warmer for the two people at the center. This guide covers gifts from family and between spouses, how to request official greetings, the invitations, and the right words for the card.<\/p>\n<div data-locale-router=\"v1\" style=\"background:#fdfaf4;border-left:3px solid #c8a165;padding:18px 22px;margin:28px 0;border-radius:2px;font-size:14px;line-height:1.7;\">\n<strong style=\"display:block;margin-bottom:8px;font-size:13px;letter-spacing:0.5px;text-transform:uppercase;color:#7a5733;\">Shop anniversary invitations<\/strong><br \/>\n<a data-locale-swap=\"v1\" href=\"\/browse\/wedding-anniversary-invitations\/\" style=\"color:#7a5733;margin-right:14px;border-right:1px solid #d8c4a8;padding-right:14px;\">Australia<\/a><br \/>\n<a data-locale-swap=\"v1\" href=\"\/us\/browse\/wedding-anniversary-invitations\/\" style=\"color:#7a5733;margin-right:14px;border-right:1px solid #d8c4a8;padding-right:14px;\">United States<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/gb\/browse\/wedding-anniversary-invitations\/\" style=\"color:#7a5733;margin-right:14px;border-right:1px solid #d8c4a8;padding-right:14px;\">United Kingdom<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/ca\/browse\/wedding-anniversary-invitations\/\" style=\"color:#7a5733;margin-right:14px;border-right:1px solid #d8c4a8;padding-right:14px;\">Canada<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/nz\/browse\/wedding-anniversary-invitations\/\" style=\"color:#7a5733;\">New Zealand<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The 60th anniversary gift is diamond<\/h2>\n<p>For a 60th wedding anniversary, the traditional and modern gift is diamond, and the American and British lists agree.<\/p>\n<p>People call it the diamond anniversary, the diamond wedding anniversary, or in Britain and Australia simply a diamond wedding. The color of the year is diamond white, and most lists name the orchid as the flower. For a floral gift that matches the tradition, sixty white roses also work well.<\/p>\n<p>The symbol of the year is the diamond itself.<\/p>\n<h2>Why the 60th and the 75th share the diamond<\/h2>\n<p>The 75th was the original diamond anniversary. The 60th was added after Queen Victoria&#8217;s Diamond Jubilee, when she marked 60 years on the throne, and today both milestone years are diamond years.<\/p>\n<p>Diamond is the hardest mineral, sitting at 10 on the Mohs scale. Its name comes from the Greek word adamas, meaning invincible or unbreakable. That fits the stone&#8217;s meaning here: clarity and strength, the qualities a marriage needs to stand for sixty years.<\/p>\n<div style=\"overflow-x:auto;\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Anniversary<\/th>\n<th>Common name<\/th>\n<th>Gift<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>50th<\/td>\n<td>Golden anniversary<\/td>\n<td>Gold<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>55th<\/td>\n<td>Emerald anniversary<\/td>\n<td>Emerald<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>60th<\/td>\n<td>Diamond anniversary<\/td>\n<td>Diamond<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>65th<\/td>\n<td>Blue sapphire anniversary<\/td>\n<td>Blue sapphire<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>70th<\/td>\n<td>Platinum anniversary<\/td>\n<td>Platinum<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>75th<\/td>\n<td>Diamond anniversary<\/td>\n<td>Diamond, some lists add gold<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>If your family marked that golden day ten years back, the pattern will feel familiar.

A couple this age has usually filled every shelf. Choose gifts they can use up, listen to, eat, drink, look through, or share on the day. If you are choosing for your parents or for a favorite aunt and uncle, a gift that removes a chore or adds a visit will often mean more than a keepsake.<\/p>\n<p>Grandparents often say they want nothing. These ideas give you a better answer.<\/p>\n<h3>Memory and family gifts<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A photo book across six decades.<\/strong> Ask each relative to caption a few pages, not just send pictures, so the book tells the story of the family from the wedding day to the newest baby.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A recorded conversation.<\/strong> Sit them down with a list of gentle questions and let them tell their own story in their voices, then keep the recording as an oral history.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A restored wedding photograph.<\/strong> Have their original wedding portrait cleaned and reprinted in a size they can see easily from a favorite chair.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A printed family tree.<\/strong> Name every descendant and their partners, with room for new names, so the whole line is visible at a glance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A box of sixty letters.<\/strong> Gather short notes from relatives, neighbors and old friends before the anniversary and present them in a wooden or fabric box.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Everyday comfort gifts<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A vase of sixty white roses, or an orchid in a pot.<\/strong> Either one honors the flower and color of the year, and the potted orchid keeps blooming after the party.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A basket packed with the treats they always finish.<\/strong> Skip the generic assortment and fill it with the teas, cookies, jams or cheeses you know they reach for first.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A standing weekly lunch date.<\/strong> Promise one calm lunch or afternoon visit each week for the next year, put it on the calendar, and keep it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A pair of cut-glass tumblers.<\/strong> Two good everyday glasses for their evening drink make a small ritual feel special without needing a crystal display cabinet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A rosebush or a young sapling by the garden window.<\/strong> Choose something they can watch leaf and bloom, with a simple plant stake marking the date.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Outings that match their energy<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A quiet lunch in the room where they held the reception.<\/strong> Keep the group small, and order a cake to match the story if the room still feels familiar.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A slow drive past the first apartment, the church and the building where they used to work.<\/strong> Read aloud one memory at each stop, but keep the whole drive under two hours so nobody gets worn out.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Afternoon tea with all the generations.<\/strong> A daytime gathering with tea, sandwiches and cake gives older guests comfort and gives the youngest children room to run.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A weekend rental with every generation sharing one address.<\/strong> Pick a single-level house near parking or transport so the couple can join the hubbub without climbing stairs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Small budget and handmade gifts<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A booklet of grandchildren&#8217;s drawings.<\/strong> Have each grandchild draw one memory or loving scene, then bind the pages with a simple cover.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A jar of sixty written memories.<\/strong> Each slip holds one sentence the couple can pull out and read aloud on a slow morning.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A cake baked to match the one they cut as newlyweds.<\/strong> Ask the family for the original flavor, even if the recipe is only half remembered, and top it with a single orchid bloom.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A playlist loaded with the music they danced to in their first married years.<\/strong> Set it up on a simple player so they can listen without a streaming account.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure style=\"margin:28px 0;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/60th-anniversary-gift-ideas-inl1-01.jpg\" alt=\"Elderly woman in a pearl necklace and a young woman sit on a sofa with a photo album beside an orchid and silver framed photo.\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:2px;\" \/><\/figure>\n<h2>Between spouses: diamond choices and the no-stone look<\/h2>\n<p>Diamond anniversary gifts are most meaningful between the two spouses, and a modest stone is entirely in keeping with the year. If you are choosing a 60 year anniversary gift for your husband or wife, let the piece feel personal and easy to wear, not grand for the sake of it.<\/p>\n<h3>For her<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A slim diamond band.<\/strong> It sits beside the original wedding ring and adds a small line of light without changing the ring she has worn for six decades.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A reset engagement stone.<\/strong> Have the original stone moved into a sturdier, lower setting so it catches on fewer cuffs and remains secure for everyday wear.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Small stud earrings.<\/strong> They are light, comfortable for daily use, and easy to sleep in or leave in place through a quiet day.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A single-stone pendant.<\/strong> It hangs near the collarbone on a slim chain and slips easily under a sweater, so she can wear it every day without it catching.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>For him<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Diamond cufflinks or a tie pin.<\/strong> One small stone gives him a dress-up choice for the anniversary lunch or a family wedding.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A signet ring with a flush-set diamond.<\/strong> The stone sits level with the metal, so it will not snag on tools, cuffs or daily tasks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A watch with the wedding date engraved where he will see it each time he puts it on.<\/strong> The stone can be a small accent, but the message is the real gift.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Sparkle without the stone<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A cut-crystal vase or decanter.<\/strong> It catches the light on a table and gets used for flowers or an evening glass.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A quilt in a diamond pattern.<\/strong> Stitch it in white and gray, with a fabric label on the back that names every branch of the family.<\/li>\n<li><strong>White plates and silver for the anniversary meal.<\/strong> Laid for the two of you or for the whole family, it turns a routine dinner into the celebration.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A handwritten love letter.<\/strong> Say what has lasted: the slow mornings, the sound of the back door, the way you still reach for each other&#8217;s hand in a parking lot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Clean diamond pieces in warm water with mild soap and a soft toothbrush, and have a jeweler check the setting from time to time. Lab-grown diamonds are the lower-cost route when you want real sparkle without the higher price.<\/p>\n<h2>How to arrange official congratulations<\/h2>\n<p>Official congratulations for a 60th wedding anniversary are real, and they are sent only if someone asks for them. One of the children or grandchildren normally arranges the greeting, often as a surprise, and the right office depends on where the couple lives and their citizenship.<\/p>\n<div style=\"overflow-x:auto;\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Where the couple lives<\/th>\n<th>Office or person<\/th>\n<th>Earliest anniversary<\/th>\n<th>Planning window<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>United States<\/td>\n<td>White House greeting<\/td>\n<td>50 years and after<\/td>\n<td>At least 6 weeks<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>United Kingdom and other realms<\/td>\n<td>Card from The King<\/td>\n<td>60th, 65th, 70th and every year after<\/td>\n<td>Online no sooner than 5 weeks before; post at least 3 weeks before<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Canada<\/td>\n<td>Governor General from 50 years; The King from 60 years<\/td>\n<td>50 years (Governor General); 60 years (The King)<\/td>\n<td>At least 8 weeks<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Australia<\/td>\n<td>Governor-General and Prime Minister from 50 years; The King from 60 years<\/td>\n<td>50 years and later (Governor-General and Prime Minister); 60th, 65th, 70th and each year after (The King)<\/td>\n<td>Start early<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>Have the couple&#8217;s full names, mailing address, wedding date and, where asked, proof of marriage ready before you apply.<\/p>\n<p>For the United States, the White House greeting is for United States citizens only. A son, daughter or close friend can submit the request through the White House website or the office of a member of Congress.<\/p>\n<p>The King&#8217;s card is for citizens of the countries where he is head of state. Any family member or friend may apply, and the application needs a copy of the marriage certificate.<\/p>\n<p>For Canada, the person organizing the surprise should allow at least 8 weeks. The Governor General sends greetings from 50 years, and The King from 60 years.<\/p>\n<p>For Australia, a close relative can apply online or through a local member of parliament. The Governor-General and Prime Minister send greetings from the 50th; The King sends for the 60th, 65th, 70th and each year after. A marriage certificate or statutory declaration works as the supporting document.<\/p>\n<p>Catholic couples can request a papal blessing for a special anniversary such as the 60th. Start early, because the offices need time to print and post the greeting before the party.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"margin:28px 0;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/60th-anniversary-gift-ideas-inl2-01.jpg\" alt=\"Marble mantelpiece holds a silver framed wedding photo, white roses and two lit candles in crystal candlesticks by a mirror.\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:2px;\" \/><\/figure>\n<h2>Planning the 60th anniversary party and invitations<\/h2>\n<p>For a couple in their eighties, the 60th anniversary party usually works best when children and grandchildren host a warm, shorter gathering rather than a full evening reception. A lunch or afternoon tea with close family and old friends gives everyone time to talk without keeping the couple on their feet too long.<\/p>\n<h3>Hosting, paying and gifts<\/h3>\n<p>The family usually takes the hosting role, and the host covers the meal and leads the toast. Put the no-gifts line on the invitation so guests know no package is expected. A note such as &#8216;No gifts, please&#8217; works, and some guests will still bring a card.<\/p>\n<h3>Comfort for the couple and their guests<\/h3>\n<p>Plan the room around the couple and their friends. Choose daytime hours, a step-free venue, and seating for every guest, not just for the meal. Keep the program short and give one toast, not a lineup of speeches. Use a microphone, set a quiet table away from the speakers, and print the invitation and any signs in large, readable type.<\/p>\n<h3>What happens on the day<\/h3>\n<p>Keep the ceremony brief and warm. One toast, a display of photographs from six decades, and a shared family photograph near the end are usually enough. Avoid a long video or a complicated surprise routine that asks the couple to stand and respond.<\/p>\n<h3>Invitation timing and details<\/h3>\n<p>Mail invitations 8 to 10 weeks ahead, or 12 weeks when family is flying in, and set the reply date three weeks before the event. The invitation must state the hosts, the couple&#8217;s names, the date, the time, the venue and the reply method.<\/p>\n<h3>Ordering the printed invitations<\/h3>\n<p>Big, clear type matters most on a sixtieth-anniversary invitation, because many guests will read the date and address without glasses. Look through <a href='https:\/\/paperlust.co\/browse\/wedding-anniversary-invitations\/'>Paperlust anniversary party invitation designs<\/a> for this celebration. Choose a design you can personalize online, then order it. A designer prepares a free digital proof, and the first proof arrives in 1 to 2 business days. Printing starts only after you approve that proof. The print methods with a minimum of 10 are digital, white ink and flat foil. Letterpress and foil stamp begin at a minimum of 50. The invitations are printed in Melbourne, Australia and delivered internationally.<\/p>\n<p>A short vow renewal or a blessing can be part of the afternoon. Our <a href='https:\/\/paperlust.co\/blog\/vow-renewal-elopement-reception-invitations\/'>vow renewal invitation wording guide<\/a> has wording and etiquette for that part of the day.<\/p>\n<h3>Invitation wording to copy<\/h3>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">The children and grandchildren of Margaret and Robert Evans<br \/>invite you to a 60th anniversary lunch<br \/>in their honor<br \/>Saturday, June 14<br \/>noon to three in the afternoon<br \/>The Garden Room, 14 Orchard Lane, Portland<br \/>Kindly reply by May 24 to Daniel at 555-0185<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">Elena and Martin Ortiz<br \/>request the pleasure of your company<br \/>at an open house for their diamond anniversary<br \/>Sunday, August 9<br \/>two to five in the afternoon<br \/>27 Harbor Lane, Seattle<br \/>Drop in for coffee and cake<br \/>No gifts, please, just your company<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">Patricia and Samuel Reed<br \/>will renew their vows on their 60th wedding anniversary<br \/>and welcome you to share the day<br \/>Saturday, October 18<br \/>at half past eleven in the morning<br \/>St. Andrew&#8217;s Church, 9 Chapel Road, Chicago<br \/>Lunch will follow at the family home<br \/>Reply by September 27<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">Celebrate sixty years with Dorothy and Harold Kim<br \/>Friday, July 11 at one o&#8217;clock<br \/>The Blue Room, 4 River Street, Denver<br \/>Your presence is the only present<br \/>RSVP by June 20<\/div>\n<div class=\"pl-shop-strip\" data-pl-strip=\"23937-01\">\n<p class=\"pl-ss-h\"><a href=\"https:\/\/paperlust.co\/browse\/wedding-anniversary-invitations\/\">Browse anniversary invitation designs for the diamond year &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pl-ss-g n3\">\n<div class=\"pl-ss-c\">\n<div class=\"pl-ss-i\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.paperlust.co\/uploads\/design\/14467\/thum_\/align_wedding-invitation_portrait_178x127_white-ink.jpg\" alt=\"Align wedding anniversary invitation design from Paperlust.\" width=\"512\" height=\"717\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" \/><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"pl-ss-n\" href=\"https:\/\/paperlust.co\/design-cascade\/16992\/wedding-anniversary-invitations--white-ink--align-wedding-anniversary-invitations\/\">Align<\/a><span class=\"pl-ss-m\">White ink<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"pl-ss-c\">\n<div class=\"pl-ss-i\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.paperlust.co\/uploads\/design\/14485\/thum_\/all-minimal_vow-renewal-invitation_127x178_digital_double-arch_almond.png\" alt=\"All Minimal wedding anniversary invitation design from Paperlust.\" width=\"1571\" height=\"2174\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" \/><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"pl-ss-n\" href=\"https:\/\/paperlust.co\/design-cascade\/17010\/wedding-anniversary-invitations--digital-printing--all-minimal-wedding-anniversary-invitations\/\">All Minimal<\/a><span class=\"pl-ss-m\">Digital printing<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"pl-ss-c\">\n<div class=\"pl-ss-i\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.paperlust.co\/uploads\/design\/14473\/thum_\/all-we-need-is-love_main-invitation_landscape_178x127_foil_nothing_fancy_just-love_gold.jpg\" alt=\"All We Need is Love wedding anniversary invitation design from Paperlust.\" width=\"512\" height=\"365\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" \/><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"pl-ss-n\" href=\"https:\/\/paperlust.co\/design-cascade\/16997\/wedding-anniversary-invitations--colour-stock-foil--all-we-need-is-love-wedding-anniversary-invitations\/\">All We Need is Love<\/a><span class=\"pl-ss-m\">Colour Stock + Foil<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>What to write in a 60th anniversary card<\/h2>\n<p>Mention the sixty years, then recall a specific lesson or a shared scene, and end with thanks.

Happy 60th anniversary.<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">From all of us, thank you for making home the place we still run toward. Your sixty years together are the reason the rest of us know what to look for. We love you both.<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">Joining your family was the easiest thing I have ever done. Thank you for sixty years of steadiness and for making me one of your own. Happy anniversary to you both.<\/div>\n<h3>To your grandparents<\/h3>\n<p>These suit an adult grandchild, a message written on behalf of a small child, and a group card from the great-grandchildren.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">Grandma and Grandpa, the way you still look at each other across a crowded table is my favorite love story. Thank you for being the center of every family gathering. Happy diamond anniversary.<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">Your house smells like cookies, and Grandpa always saves me the chair with the soft cushion. Happy 60th anniversary, I love you.<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">We are the youngest branches on your tree, and we are learning from you already. Thank you for the songs, the laps and the long stories. Happy sixtieth anniversary from all the great-grandchildren.<\/div>\n<h3>To friends or relatives<\/h3>\n<p>These work for an old friend writing as an equal and for a dignified note from a church, a club, or the neighborhood.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">Dear Joan and Peter, sixty years is a long time, but you two always made it look like a good dinner among friends. Thank you for every invitation and every kindness. With love from Alice and Ben.<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">The congregation of St. Andrew&#8217;s sends warm congratulations to Jean and Albert on your diamond wedding anniversary. Your faithful presence has blessed this community, and we give thanks for your sixty years together.<\/div>\n<h3>Funny<\/h3>\n<p>These are affectionate, so keep the humor on long marriage, not on age, health or memory.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">After sixty years of shared remotes, lost keys and open kitchen cupboards, you two have made the mess look like a great romance. Happy 60th anniversary.<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">Marriage is mostly deciding what to eat and then eating the other person&#8217;s choice. You two have done it with grace for sixty years. Well played.<\/div>\n<h3>Short<\/h3>\n<p>Use these when a quiet card is all you need.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">Sixty years, one beautiful love. Happy diamond anniversary.<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">Thank you for showing us what keeping a promise looks like. Happy 60th anniversary.<\/div>\n<figure style=\"margin:28px 0;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/paperlust-arch-lines-60th-anniversary-gift-ideas-inl3-01.jpg\" alt=\"Paperlust Arch Lines notecard with an M &amp; P monogram and Margaret &amp; Peter lies on silver satin with orchids and an envelope.\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:2px;\" \/><\/figure>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<h3>What is the traditional and modern gift for a 60th anniversary?<\/h3>\n<p>Both are diamond. The United States and United Kingdom lists agree on the same stone for this year, so you do not have to choose between an older custom and a newer one. A diamond can be a piece of jewelry, a small stone reset into an existing ring, or a diamond-patterned or cut-glass gift for the family to give.<\/p>\n<h3>Why is the 60th anniversary diamond when the 75th is diamond too?<\/h3>\n<p>The 75th was the original diamond anniversary. The 60th joined it after Queen Victoria celebrated her Diamond Jubilee for sixty years on the throne. Today both years use diamond, so the 60th and the 75th can both be marked with the same stone without either one being wrong.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the color and flower for a 60th wedding anniversary?<\/h3>\n<p>The color is diamond white, and the flower most lists give is the orchid. A common floral gift is 60 white roses, but a potted white orchid can last longer and still honors the color and flower of the year. Use white linens, white flowers and silver accents to carry the color through the party.<\/p>\n<h3>What do you give a couple married 60 years who insist they want nothing?<\/h3>\n<p>Give something that disappears or gets used. A jar of sixty short memories, a delivered meal once a month, a ride to a weekly errand, or a promise to visit on a set afternoon all work well. Avoid objects that need dusting. A card with a specific memory is often the gift they keep longest.<\/p>\n<h3>Does the President or The King send a card for a 60th anniversary?<\/h3>\n<p>Only if someone applies. In the United States, the White House sends a greeting for couples married 50 years or more, and a family member can request it. In the United Kingdom and other realms, The King sends a card for the 60th, 65th, 70th and every year after. Canada and Australia also have arrangements through the Governor General, Prime Minister and The King.<\/p>\n<h3>Who should host and pay for the party, and should guests bring gifts?<\/h3>\n<p>Often children or family take the hosting role and the host pays; friends or the couple may also arrange the day. As a guest, you do not need to purchase a gift. A card is enough. If you want to give more, choose something consumable or ask the host about joining a group gift. If a no-gifts line appears, respect it.<\/p>\n<h3>When should we send invitations if older relatives are traveling far?<\/h3>\n<p>Mail them 8 to 10 weeks ahead as a rule, and allow 12 weeks when family members are flying in or need to arrange care, accessible rooms or easier travel. Ask for replies three weeks out, then phone anyone you have not heard from so you can confirm seating, meals and the day&#8217;s plan.<\/p>\n<h3>Which anniversaries come after the 60th?<\/h3>\n<p>After the 60th come the 65th blue sapphire anniversary, the 70th platinum anniversary and the 75th diamond anniversary; some lists also pair the 75th with gold. In the United Kingdom and other realms where The King is head of state, his card is sent for the 60th, 65th, 70th and every year after. The 75th is the original diamond anniversary.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the traditional and modern gift for a 60th anniversary?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Both are diamond.
