Counting the Time Since Marriage: Discovering the "Anniversary Board"!

2021.02.19 published

Found something to make for our wedding anniversary♡

I found an idea for an anniversary gift that I want to try making to celebrate our wedding anniversary.

Here it is♡

Hmm...? Many of you might be wondering what this is...

This is a board that represents the number of years (and time) that has passed since we got married with:

“Years”

“Months”

“Weeks”

“Days”

“Hours”

“Minutes”

“Seconds”

♡

Feeling the length and weight of time...!

At weddings, for example, we often see certificates of appreciation for parenting that say, “Thank you for 9,000 days since you were born” from parents, but...

This anniversary board, which lists all units of time from the biggest "year" to the smallest "second," is really rare and very unique.

Especially the numbers in minutes and seconds at the bottom are astounding...!! (I think I’m saying “10,510,000 seconds” for the first time in my life.)

But seeing it this way, you can really feel the length and weight of the time spent together ♡

Making one for parents’ anniversaries or birthdays is amazing too

In other countries, there are people who make them for their parents’ birthdays or wedding anniversaries.

When it’s 50 or 60 years, it becomes quite a significant number...!

If you’re gifting it to your parents, it’s lovely to add to the time:

“5 children”

“15 grandchildren”

and include the family members that have increased during this time ♡

If you decide to create one...

An anniversary board that represents the time spent together from “Years” to “Seconds.”

If you decide to make it,

For 1 year it would be:

Months: 12 months

Weeks: 52 weeks

Days: 365 days

Hours: 8,760 hours

Minutes: 525,600 minutes

Seconds: 31,536,000 seconds

So you can calculate it by multiplying each by the number of years ♩

Please try making it for your wedding anniversary or other celebration occasions.

Even if you don’t make it into a board, it might be nice to turn it into a card or an image for social media ♡
