Wedding anniversaries are special occasions to be cherished and deserve to be celebrated! Although sometimes it is difficult to know how to create a special day and how to recognize these milestones.

25 years of marriage is a significant number of years to be married and is known as the silver wedding anniversary. It is traditionally celebrated in style! A popular way to celebrate an anniversary is, of course, a romantic dinner. But there are many other alternatives! Perhaps a weekend getaway or even an extended vacation can mark the occasion. Inviting the bridal party to dress up for a mock wedding is another idea. The bridal party may not fit in or may not have their original outfits yet, so create a color theme and see what they come up with! Take lots of pictures! Perhaps the theme for the guests could be silver. Invite guests to dress in silver or wear silver accessories. It’s also fun to look back at what was going on at that particular time, perhaps a costume party in the fashion of the time. Having a wedding breakfast with some good friends and family. Make it a formal dress just for a bit of fun. Prepare a long wedding table with flowers and candlesticks and enjoy a special breakfast together. Maybe it’s time to renew those wedding vows! You may well have a new set of friends (and some new additions to the family!) since then. Whichever way you choose, be it a quiet reflection or a rowdy celebration, be sure to mark the occasion so it’s one to remember for many years to come.

Choosing the right gift is also something to think about.

Here are some helpful ideas to get you thinking about what to give as a gift.

Popular gifts for your loved one include:

  • a silver piece of jewelry such as a ring, watch, locket, or amulet. An item that has some meaning or relevance is a good choice.
  • an antique piece of jewelry is another alternative.
  • a silver keychain or cufflinks for men.
  • a silver photo frame with a special photo.
  • a silver trinket or jewelry box. You could have this engraved with your names and the date of the wedding and the year of the anniversary.
  • a piece of silver like a candlestick
  • A special memory like a poem or song written by you!
  • a personal ad in your local newspaper

Enjoy your celebration!
