A 50th Wedding Anniversary is your Golden anniversary and a monumental occasion. To have spent half a century together is quite a feat! This party should be elaborate and fun. Plan to have the invitations go out in plenty of time for replies. On the invites you could have a picture of the couple as they appeared when they were first together and one of them now. This event could be held in a public venue such as a restaurant or at some one's home where there is plenty of room to party. Decorate with lots of pictures of the couple and have videos running of them from way back. This party calls for a caterer who will serve o'deuvrs then a wonderful meal. No party is complete without wonderful desserts and of course, a great cake, similar to a wedding cake with gold leaves and golden cupids and perhaps there original topper from their wedding day. Lots of beautiful classy decorations, gold in color on white linen table cloths with gold candles. Place cards could be written in gold and chairs tied with golden ropes with gold tassels. Pictures of the couple throughout their marriage could be placed in gold frames and put out on display. For party favors and a nice memento, you could wrap a cello bag of chocolates with gold foil tied with a golden ribbon. This will complete this magnificent festive occasion.
