50th Wedding anniversary Ideas?!

We had a party at the Knights of Columbus hall. We decorated using the colors of the bridesmaids dresses and flowers. We got helium balloons in those colors, and anchored them inside a painted clay flower pot turned upside down, so the ribbons on the balloons went through the holes. We used tables cloths and napkins in those colors (teal and pink), and had votive candles sitting on little mirrors, both from the dollar store. We serve appetizers which is what my mother wanted. My sister and I made a scrapbook for them in a wedding album. We started with pictures of them as children with their own families, then of them in school and dating, their wedding, us as children, all their siblings, nieces and nephews over the years, our own weddings and our families, pictures of them with the grandchildren and finally all the neighbors we've known since we moved there in 1965. Most of our neighbors were the same ones until recently. In the back we had a collage of pictures all sorts of things. My brother-in-law had someone in his art department make a slide show set to the song Memories. Corny, but I didn't have any better ideas. We had space in the album for the guests to sign and for pictures from the party. I went around and took pictures of everyone there, everyone at the table, couples, families, single ladies together, etc. We had a piano player so that people could sing. My dad was involved in some choirs and other singing groups, and they loved going to piano bars. My dad and his partner played for about 20 minutes. It was a very nice party. It was in 1999, so it may sound a little old fashioned (slide show, for instance...he had it transferred to a video tape later, but even that's obsolete now).

Maybe, make a special photo album.. It'll be nice when turning previous photos, thinking of those beautiful memories. 50th wedding anniversary is really very memorable and worthy. Best wishes!

you should buy a cute wedding cake and one the knife you should but a nice red ribbon or something. Have them dance to there wedding song. Yeah play a cute dvd..good luck!
