Pearl Anniversary Cards (30th Anniversary)

Pearl anniversary cards for the 30th anniversary

Pearl is the traditional UK symbol for the 30th wedding anniversary. Pearls form slowly, from friction - which is a fair description of thirty years. This is a milestone card, usually bought by family.

Thirty years tends to be marked with a gathering. A card with space inside for several messages does more work than a bigger present.

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