MAIN Home Life Party Ideas 25th Wedding Anniversary

25 years of marriage deserves a celebration of the commitment and love that has made the relationship last.

Whether the silver anniversary party is hosted by friends or intimate family members, it should be an extra-special tribute to the married couple.

25th anniversary party ideas

The party theme? Silver, of course!

You can also opt for a special theme that the anniversary couple will appreciate, such as a travel theme or an 90's decade party in honor of the year they were married.

Local wedding reception halls would be happy to arrange a 25th anniversary party. You can also opt for a party room at a favorite restaurant in town. If your budget doesn't allow for a large gathering, consider hosting a cocktail party or weekend brunch at home to celebrate the day.

A scrapbook of photos and quotes, along with written tributes by loved ones, makes for a very special presentation for this milestone anniversary.

If you're handy with a home computer, also consider a Powerpoint photo slideshow. Or how about a major movie documentary created using a video-making program? (Remember to include early photos of the happy couple!)

A special ceremony renewing the marriage vows is sometimes also included on the 25th, which can either be performed in a house of worship or take place at the party celebration. (Bring tissues!)

25th anniversary gift ideas

Silver is a natural choice when planning your decorating theme, and silver is also the order of the day when it comes to gift giving.

Silver or silver-plated photo frames, vases, engraved silver wine goblets, a silver tea set, a silver champagne bucket, silver candlestick holders, or vintage antiques are among only a few ideas that make for great silver wedding anniversary gifts.

A 25th silver anniversary gift might include a silver champagne bucket, silver frame (include
a favorite wedding photo of the anniversary couple) or silver home decor or antiques and collectibles.

Don't forget the silver wrapping paper, ribbons and bows!

After 25 years of marriage, many couples also follow the tradition of taking a second honeymoon. So consider arranging for friends and family members to contribute to an ocean cruise or other travel gifts for your guests of honor that will help make memories for a lifetime.
