5th Wedding Anniversary Party Ideas and Tips

Are you planning a 5th wedding anniversary party for your favorite couple? Follow these simple instructions to create the perfect celebration:

Choose a venue:

Consider what you think that the guests of honor would like. Maybe one of the couple's children or close friends would like to host the party for a more personal feel. They may prefer a large dining hall or restaurant that can accommodate a number of guests. Remember, even if you are serving a meal, you can always hire a serving staff at a private home to help with the dinner, and even setting or cleaning up. No matter what the size of your celebration may be, you'll want to make sure there is plenty of space for people to both sit and move around comfortably.

Invitations:

Remember that the 5th anniversary is the golden anniversary, and the invitations first introduce this theme. Perhaps on the cover of each, you'll want to include a picture of the couple from their wedding day fifty years ago. Outline the picture in gold, and include the date of their marriage, as well as the date of the anniversary party in gold lettering.

Decorations:

Keep the decorations elegant, while combining modern themes with the color scheme the couple used on their wedding day. Fresh flowers always create a beautiful environment, and you may consider lining the entrance way with flower petals. Have guests enter through an archway lined with flowers and ivy. Floating candles further add to the ambiance. If you spread candles throughout the room, be sure the lights are dim, allowing for guests to enjoy the subtle lighting.

Honoring the couple:

In addition to your room decorations, be sure to have pictures of the couple around the room, whether on tables or hanging in the entryway. These pictures should follow the couple throughout their years together, eventually adding in pictures of children and grandchildren. Have guests either sign a guest book or leave pens and note cards on each table in order for guests to write notes to the couple. These can later be put together in a memory book for the couple. In order to further tie the party in with their wedding day, have guests toast the couple with the champagne glasses they used fifty years ago. You may also create a large cake and include the cake topper from their wedding. Lastly, be sure to invite as many members of the original wedding party as possible, and take pictures to recreate that special day. (If possible, put the party in their original poses from the wedding day.)

Centerpieces:

Be sure to tie in the colors of the party with your centerpieces, which should also include gold highlights. You may wish to do floral arrangements or place pictures of the couple at each decade of their time together on the tables. You may then surround the pictures either with flowers, confetti, or even candles. For a more unique centerpiece, include cookie or chocolate bouquets on each table, and allow guests o take them home as favors.
