If your parents (or grandparents) are celebrating a milestone anniversary, it’s a wonderful idea to plan a special anniversary party.
You can host the event as a surprise party, or enlist in the couple’s help to make the anniversary party the best it can be.
Choose a venue that is suitable for your event. Whether casual or formal, large or small, you can make the party memorable. A great idea is to hire a band that can play music from the time your parents were married.
Before the party, gather photos and videos from your parents’ years together and put together a slideshow or video presentation for the party. A 25th or 50th anniversary is a notable milestone. Plan your event well in advance to make sure that out-of-town guests can make travel arrangements.
Whether you are hosting the event at home, a restaurant or a banquet hall, you can have the party catered. To keep costs down, make the menu simple. Serve chicken rather than beef or seafood. Offer a red and white house wine (and non-alcoholic beverages) rather than an open bar.
Keep the decorations simple by choosing white tablecloths and making your own centerpieces. Centerpieces can be hurricane lamps with a large white candle in the middle or a simple floral arrangement. Bake the cake yourself or have a family member bake it in lieu of a gift
