How to Host a Special Silver Wedding Anniversary Party

When planning to give a meaningful gift to a couple celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary, you need to plan and use some of your creative juices. Plan ahead and craft your plan taking into account important factors in the lives of the celebrants over the past 25 years. Figure out a generous budget that your pocket can afford, and within that figure, list the best possible gifts in your assumed order of priorities based on how the couple will react. See what they will comment for each gift. Will they cherish and remember it for a long time?

The traditional theme of a 25th wedding anniversary is silver, and with that in mind, any appropriate gift you list should have some silver attached to it, literally or symbolically. How creative or imaginative can you be when thinking of a silver-themed gift? Whether the partner is your parent, relatives or friends, your gift should reflect how much you show your care and affection. Much more if you are the celebrant and your gift is for your spouse of 25 years.

This silver anniversary is classified as a momentous occasion or a milestone in the life of this wonderful couple. It is a test of true love, respect and honoring one’s commitment to the wedding vows to go through the trials, the failures and the successes, the tribulations or the triumphs of life together.

What touching and loving gift can you think of? How about hosting a silver anniversary party to be mutually funded by immediate family members, close relatives, friends, members of the wedding entourage, wedding sponsors, and special guests? If the celebrants like to dance, book a ballroom at a fancy hotel. The wedding anniversary cake should have a silver topper and 25 candles adorned with silver ribbons. To the extent that Iris is the symbol flower of the silver celebration, her wife will be presented with a bouquet of lilies and red roses painted in silver and her husband will be presented with a bottle of Dom Perignon champagne.

Some guests may choose to gift a silver-framed family portrait, a CD with popular songs from 25 years of marriage, a bedspread with family photos, a poem written in silver ink and framed in silver.

If some guests wanted something unique, they can give a series of gifts to trace the quarter century of life together. Sponsors will pool their funds and create some contemporary or traditional gifts that represent some historical facets of the couple from their first wedding anniversary to their 25th wedding anniversary. These 25 different giveaways will be featured again during the show in another video presentation.
