Symbolic of a 30th Anniversary is the pearl, so the conversation should include that particular gem. This milestone anniversary should be pleasant, and the couple is middle-aged by this time. Talk about what and who was popular thirty years ago, famous singers and songwriters, and movies, too, like “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” “Stripes,” and the original “Arthur.” You might compare that “Arthur” movie with the latest one that just came out.
A more modern gift for the 30th Anniversary is diamond jewelry, and that can be talked about. A mother of pearl necklace, a diamond tie pin, and other beautiful trinkets might be among the gifts to the happy couple. These are all conversation pieces, and a simple question about each gift could lead to a long, interesting story. Lily is the celebrated flower of the event, but some say it is also the sweet pea. Others might argue that pearls and diamonds are not the only gems to give to 30th Anniversary couples, but jade is also a popular choice.
Ask the 30th Anniversary couple about some of the highlights of their times together to begin some entertaining conversation. They will have stories about vacations they took, their favorite restaurants and clubs, and adventures they had all along the way. Ask to see pictures of years gone by, and talk about how happy they still look together. After all, with the divorce rate at about 50% for the United States, it isn’t every day that a couple celebrates an event like a 30th wedding anniversary.
