40th Wedding Anniversary Ideas To Wow Your Partner

Make your 40th wedding anniversary a special one by putting lots of thought into this important milestone.

It might seem hard to come up with great new ideas after so many years together.

This list of ideas is based on the traditional and modern gift lists. Both lists feature 'rubies' as the anniversary symbol.

So, here are some unique ideas about what to do on this big milestone.

Ruby ideas

Rubies are truly beautiful gems, with fiery colours that are often used to express passion. Keep the passion alive in your marriage with these fun ruby themed 40th wedding anniversary ideas.

Visit the Ruby Country

Head to the heart of Devon and visit the Ruby Country. This beautiful backwoods area is really off the beaten path. Enjoy some pampering at a local bed and breakfast, and then explore the area on foot. You can also pick up some interesting souvenirs at one of the local pottery and gift shops.

Create a family heirloom

Check out the Ruby Cavalier Finearts company. They take photos of just about anything and turn them into beautiful oil paintings. Whether you want a photo of the two of you on your wedding day or as you are today, or a photo of your entire family, this will be a beautiful heirloom for generations to come.

Head out on the Ruby J

Of course, the great part about any of these activities is that you can easily incorporate real ruby gifts into them, too. Whether you present your loved one with a ruby ring at the Beachcroft B&B or ruby cufflinks in the heart of Devon, you'll have created a wedding anniversary that is unforgettable.
