Leather Anniversary Cards (3rd Anniversary)

Leather anniversary cards for the 3rd anniversary

Leather is the traditional UK symbol for the 3rd wedding anniversary. Leather is about durability - the thing that wears in rather than out. Three years in, a card that sounds like you rather than a shop is the point.

Three years is where the in-jokes are fully formed. Pick the card for the joke, then write the serious bit underneath it.

The modern list says crystal or glass for this year, the flower is the sunflower and the stone is pearl - useful alternatives if the material itself doesn't suit them.
