| Whilst 30 years is great, it's nothing special.Wait until their 50th, then buy them something nice. |

| depends on who they are to you, i do not agree that 30 is nothing speciall, how many couple do you know actually have made it past 10... a small give is very appropriate,,, |

| You should definately get them a gift. Staying married is a big deal these days! By the way,the traditional gift for a 30th anniversary is pearls, and the modern gift is diamonds. |

| If they are having a anniversary party or dinner, a gift is nice; otherwise, just a card. Unless you're particularly close to them and have a really cute idea for some 30-year scrapbook or video montage or something. But by no means it is expected, etiquette-wise. |

| Buy them something small that they can enjoy together on their special day - maybe a picnic basket with a nice bottle of wine, or a gift card to a local restaurant, or another great gift is movie gift certificates. If you really want to splurge, maybe buy them a day at the spa for two. Giving them something that they can do is the most important thing, regardless of how much or little you spend |

| Only if they are having an anniversary party that you are invited to . Otherwise just a card is appropriate. |

| It's hard to buy gifts that they might like. It's best to give them a card plus a bottle of wine. |
