The Party

Any couple that has reached their fiftieth anniversary certainly deserves to a have a party held in their honor, so be sure to send out beautiful personalized invitations that announce the special couple's achievement. Depending upon the couple's wishes and your budget, you can invite a large group of people to a rental hall or have an intimate gathering at a restaurant or someone's home.

Golden Anniversary - Decorations

The 50th anniversary is normally referred to as the Golden Anniversary, so set the stage appropriately by choosing decorations featuring the color gold. If you're holding a formal gathering, you can opt for china and crystal with gold trim, but if you're planning a casual get-together you can easily sprinkle gold confetti on the tables and spruce them up with inexpensive vases of flowers wrapped with curly gold ribbon. Bouquets of gold helium balloons tied to the backs of chairs will look great, too.

Photographs

A few other easy 50th wedding anniversary ideas involve photographs. Set out several large photos of the couple on their wedding day - in gold frames, of course! - and be sure to display as many photos as possible that were taken throughout their marriage. Friends and relatives will all get a kick out of the pictures, and the couple will absolutely love reliving the memories and telling everyone the stories behind each picture.

50th Wedding Anniversary Cake And Favors

The choice of menu will depend upon the type of celebration, but be sure to have some sort of cake for the special couple on their big day. A large sheet cake is appropriate for a casual get-together, but you may want to get a two or three-tier wedding cake with a large number 50 as a cake topper if the party is a more formal affair. You can even hold a toast to the couple with sparkling cider or gold-colored champagne before the cake is cut.

Should you decide to hand out party favors to the guests, remember these 50th wedding anniversary ideas as you consider your options. A cellophane bag full of gold-wrapped chocolates makes a quick and easy favor, and a frosted glass candleholder decorated with a gold heart is a classy gift.
