Wedding anniversaries are a time to celebrate now more than ever. Although all of them are important, the most celebrated anniversaries are the 10th, 20th, 25th, 40th, 50th and 60th. The earlier ones are hosted by close friends while the later ones are planned by the children of the couple. Below are some ideas and themes for the most popular anniversary parties.
10th ANNIVESARY PARTY
At this stage, most couples have children and would appreciate an “adults only” party. This type of party is ideal for a casino or casual theme cruise with DJ and dancing.
25th ANNIVERSARY PARTY
This is the silver anniversary and gifts, invitations and decorations use silver in them. Gifts might include a silver tray engraved with the couple’s name and anniversary date, gift certificates for an elegant dinner or a “honeymoon” trip paid for by all the guests. Decorations might include their original wedding photo album, a portrait of the wedding couple from the day of their wedding and plenty of silver balloons.
50th ANNIVERSARY PARTY
This is the gold anniversary and should be celebrated as the special occasion that it is. Very few couples stay married this long (at least not to each other). Gold is the color to use. Gold foiled invitations, flowers with gold ribbons, golden oldies playing and gold table decorations. This celebration may include a renewal of vows and a head table complete with the original maid of honor and best man.
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY GIFTS & IDEAS
A fun and thoughtful activity for the anniversary couple could be to go around the room and tell the group when and how they met various guests in attendance. This is sure to bring up humorous stories which tend to get exaggerated over the years.
Giving a memorable gift could be as easy as offering to take photos of the anniversary party cruise and putting together photo album later for the celebrating couple. If guests DO ASK for gift suggestions, below are the traditional gift types for each anniversary...
