50th Anniversary Party Ideas
The 50th wedding anniversary is quite magical and those who have the opportunity to celebrate such an occasion are very fortunate indeed. Here are a few 50th anniversary party ideas to help you both with planning the party and making the event an extra special occasion for everyone.
Decorations and Theme
Traditionally, gold is the symbol for the 50th wedding anniversary. So think of the color gold for invitations and decorations. Gold is always beautiful, festive and elegant, so it is a natural for an anniversary celebration.
To make the party even festive, play music from era of the anniversary couple’s courtship. If the couple has a special song, make sure to add this to the collection. Encourage everyone to dress in vintage attire.
Activities to Make the 50th Anniversary Party Extra Special for Everyone
Each couple has a special history and an anniversary is a wonderful time to share this history with family and friends.
Have the couple share with everyone the story of how they met. Courtships from fifty years ago are quite different than the ones of today, so this is usually both an entertaining and endearing story for everyone. If you can capture the story on video, even better.
Request that friends and family contribute a story, photograph or piece of memorabilia and create a scrapbook for the anniversary couple.
The 50th anniversary is the perfect time to renew vows. Either just the anniversary couple or all married couples at the event can take the opportunity to renew their marriage vows.
Create a Special Keepsake
With so many family and friends present, this is the perfect opportunity to take a group picture of family portrait. Before the party starts, scout out a good location which can accommodate the group, especially if you are expecting a lot of people. Remember lighting is a big factor in creating a nice photo, and the close to sunset is the perfect lighting for an outdoor photo. Large groups can take a while to get set up, so allow plenty of time for everyone to get situated.
Request for the guests to bring their cameras and to take pictures of the party. Set up a gallery through an online website and ask everyone to share their photos. Create an online photo book and have a copy published as a gift for the anniversary couple.
