Why cotton for year 2
Cotton represents the comfort and durability your relationship has earned in two years. The threads of cotton are individually delicate but woven into something strong — the textbook anniversary metaphor. Modern interpretations (china, the modern equivalent) also work, but the cotton tradition is what most couples reach for.

Best songs for the 2-year canvas
Two years in, couples often pick the song that has soundtracked life since the wedding rather than the first-dance song. Customer favorites include A Thousand Years, At Last, Tennessee Whiskey, Can't Help Falling in Love, and Bless the Broken Road. Our 24-hour designer preview lets you try two layouts and pick the one you love. Free unlimited revisions.
