E-invites are also in vogue these days that will save you a lot of postage costs and you will get the RSVPs much sooner.
  • Choose the Decorations – There are a variety of ways that you can decorate the venue. Since it is the 50th anniversary, you can actually go for a golden colour scheme and opt for golden curtains, table tablecloths, golden cutlery, and golden flower bouquets and so on. You can also go for the colour scheme that the couple had chosen for their wedding a half-century ago. The other decorating ideas include recreating the place that the couple went for honeymoon, their decade of marriage or even their current interests.
  • Arrange for an Anniversary Cake as well as Food and Drinks – If you are going for a restaurant then you do not have to think much about the food or drinks. Otherwise, you can choose between home cooking and catering. If you are choosing the former then the themed menu may include a swanky hour of cocktail, a laid-back brunch, or a casual barbeque. The anniversary celebration cannot be complete without a cake. Pick it up early to avoid problems later.
  • Let Someone Pay a Tribute or Give a Toast to the Couple – Arrange someone close to the couple to give a toast to the couple. This can be done by a son, daughter or a sibling. This is a great way to share stories.
  • Highlight the Significant Memories of the Couple– You can pick and choose photographs and videos of the special moments that the couple shared throughout this long time and put that on display through a slideshow. This will be warm gift to the couple as they will reminiscent the good times of their lives together while the guests can also bear witness to their journey.
