A wedding anniversary is an anniversary which falls on the month and day a particular wedding took place, and which recurs every subsequent year. Married persons who regard the day of their marriage as important may mark the occasion in some special way. Broader groups in society, especially the families (including children) of such a couple, may help to celebrate such events; this is particularly common on the 40th, 50th, and 60th anniversaries. Retailers (especially jewellers), have encouraged gift-giving on these occasions, and have often suggested a hierarchy of types of gifts to reflect the importance of longer years of marriage (and perhaps of greater ability to purchase more expensive gifts). In the UK you can receive a message from the Queen Elizabeth II for the 60th, 65th, and 70th wedding anniversaries, and any wedding anniversary after the 70th. This is done by applying to Buckingham Palace. These messages are not personally signed by the Queen, however.
