Is your parents’ or in-laws’ 50th wedding anniversary approaching? Consider yourself lucky! Only a select few couples are able to commemorate such a significant occasion.
The golden anniversary, also known as the 50th anniversary, necessitates a lavish celebration to celebrate the happy couple. We’ve got a lot of 50th wedding anniversary ideas to share, from economical 50th anniversary invitations to golden anniversary decoration ideas! Let’s get this party started.
Using old images of the couple on their wedding day to get friends and family excited about the anniversary party is a great approach to get them involved.
While old images can absolutely be used to decorate the party venue, think about utilizing them in your invitations as well, as shown in the example above! A 50th anniversary invitation with photos from the past and present is another entertaining concept.
Everyone enjoys seeing how a long-married couple’s eyes have remained the same over the years in comparison shots.
Any 50th anniversary decorations should include photos of the couple, but you can arrange them in unique ways to make them stand out.
Our favorite option is to make a 50 out of images of the couple, their children, and grandchildren and display it on the wall for party guests to admire. You may also take photographs in front of the exhibit to make new memories!
Make Gold Decorations a Work of Art
For a golden anniversary, gold accents are appropriate. While most party stores sell pre-made golden anniversary decorations, we recommend using your ideas and ingenuity to add your own personal touches.
You might, for example, spray paint a variety of empty wine bottles and/or mason jars in various sizes gold to create a gorgeous golden centerpiece.
If you don’t want to spend a lot of money on floral centerpieces, spray paint baby’s breath gold to fancy them up and add more golden flair to your 50th anniversary decor. Gold ribbons from your local craft or fabric store will complete your centerpieces.
Play their song as well as music from the era
Many long-married couples have a song that they sing together. This may be the song that was playing when they met or a beloved tune they danced to at their wedding years ago.
Allowing the couple to relive the romanticism of that song can make a 50th anniversary unique. Set aside a space in the arena for the couple to dance to their song. Friends and family are welcome to join in, or simply sit back and watch the couple take center stage.
Play songs from the couple’s heyday during the anniversary celebration to keep the theme of nostalgia alive. The Supremes’ “You Can’t Hurry Love,” the Mamas and the Papas’ “California Dreamin’,” and Frank Sinatra’s “Strangers in the Night” were all hit songs 50 years ago in 1966.
Make gold-accented desserts and drinks
Food and drinks that match the theme are essential for a golden anniversary. Desserts made with caramel are one example of how a golden theme can be used. Champagne is another option, but a gold sugar rim can be added to make it even more special.
The Bronze Gold Cocktail Rimming Sugar from Dell Cove Spice Co. adds a touch of gold to any anniversary champagne or cocktail.
Give a Homemade Golden Anniversary Gift
A homemade present from the heart frequently means a lot more to a couple celebrating their 50th anniversary than any expensive gift from the store.
The nicest part about these handcrafted gifts is that they may be used as decorations for a 50th anniversary party and then taken home as a remembrance for the couple being honored.
White painted boards serve as a backdrop for stunning gold hand calligraphy in the example below. If your handwriting isn’t perfect, don’t be concerned. Calligraphy and beautiful hand lettering lessons abound on YouTube.
Show off an original wedding gown
Some long-married couples still have the bride’s 50-year-old wedding gown. By placing the garment on a fabric dress form, you can add a touch of nostalgia to your 50th anniversary celebration. Dress forms can be purchased new online for $40-$60, but you might be able to borrow one from a local clothing business owner for the day.
I recommend having the garment professionally cleaned before it is displayed if it has been stored for a long time. Any staining or yellowing that has happened over time can generally be reduced by a professional dry cleaner.
