1. Put together a CD with songs from the era of the marriage date.

2. Assemble a memory photo album with pictures highlighting 25 years together. Include the wedding, children, grandchildren, friends, trips taken together, homes lived in, etc. A nice addition is to include stories from children and friends.

3. Create a poem, write it in silver ink, and display it in a silver-coloured frame.

4. Put together a family quilt comprised of each square done by a family member or close friends.

5. Make a wish tree. You can use a big branch that you paint silver and decorate with silver ribbons, ornaments etc. Fill the branches with pictures of major events in the couple's life, including people who they love and cherish.


You could then add things like tickets for a trip, a movie pass, tickets to the theatre, a tour to a winery or other day trip destinations. You could then add gift cards and gift certificates for different events and restaurants they could use on a trip, etc.

     party where everyone comes dressed in formal
    attire. For a formal function you should send formal invitations to your family, friends and
    colleagues. The formal dinner party can be held either at home or at a hotel. Decorate the place in

    for a DJ or a musical band to entertain your guests, along with a grand buffet complete with food
    and drinks.

    you got married, or the place you first met, or any other location that is special or meaningful to you.

   commemorate the event.

    and friends, and is one of the more popular ideas for 25th anniversary party. You can choose to have
    something as simple as a barbecue in your own backyard. Or you could arrange to have the party
    catered so that you can relax and enjoy the party with your guests.

    If you are hosting a 25th wedding anniversary party for your parents or close friends, it would be a
    wonderful idea to prepare a slide show of their photographs depicting their life together for the past

    an outdoor place like a beach, botanic gaden, yacht, theme park or resort to hold your party. This

    and friends.
