Why is paper the first anniversary gift?

Paper is the traditionally used in first anniversary gifts as it symbolises the fresh start in a couple’s journey together, a blank page if you will! It is also thought to represent the fragility of early marriage, with the symbolic materials for wedding anniversaries getting stronger as the years go on (for example 5th is Wood, 25th is Silver, 75th is Diamond).
