The Meaning of the Golden Wedding Anniversary

The Golden Wedding is considered one of the most celebrated anniversaries in the world: having spent half a century with a single person (fifty years) means, in fact, having reached a milestone so epochal that it cannot be passed in silence. The invaluable metal that gives its name to this joyful commemoration is emblematic: gold is, in fact, often associated with good health and an optimistic attitude towards life. A noble metal which is therefore a symbol not only of shining beauty, but also of strength and resistance to any type of deterioration.

The Golden Wedding is therefore an occasion in which it is good to gather the whole family for lunch or dinner, thus promoting the meeting between different generational dimensions to which to remember the power of such a long and happy union. Celebrating the 50th wedding anniversary with dignity is therefore a task for both the spouses, and the relatives and close friends who will be invited.

Decorations

Being a Golden Wedding, the dominant motif must be precisely that of the noble metal: for decorations, then, nothing more adequate than a brilliant golden glitter to be applied on flowers, on greeting cards, on gift paper, on balloons and so on.

Even the table should be laid in a agreement to this motto would be, therefore, very appropriate to get a golden cloth, the crystal glasses and a porcelain dinner service from gilded edges, golden candles and even golden vessels in flower arranging. For the toast, the most recommended wine is Chardonnay, whose straw yellow color will perfectly match everything else.

For the most faithful celebrants, the ideal on this important occasion would be to renew the vows, perhaps precisely in the place where he got married fifty years earlier; while the more imaginative ones might think of organizing a picnic with napkins, plates and glasses always rigorously golden. As for floral embellishments, just know that the flower-symbol of this anniversary is the same as the first anniversary: the violet.

Wedding Favours

50th Anniversary Gift Ideas

On the gift issue, however, it would be good to consider the age of the guests: since these are people who will certainly be of a certain age, you could opt for household items, such as a picture or a double quilt, if not – for those who can afford to spend something extra – a TV equipped with a decoder to combine some subscriptions with programs of their particular interest.

And if the couple in question is endowed with a certain dynamism and spirit of adventure, you could book them a hot air balloon ride, or perhaps a spot at the same destination they visited on their Honeymoon. Another successful gift idea is an accurate collection of their photographs: if you could bring together all the key images of their life, from the distant childhood until the day of their great celebration, passing through the first meeting, the first trip , the first child and so on, would really be something very impressive.

For those who have a little more time, you could even think of creating a slide show of the photos of the spouses on DVD accompanied by a personalized soundtrack, with the most representative songs of their journey together. Still, the most creative could try their hand at setting up a “tree of desires” , among whose branches golden bows should be placed, portraits of the dearest and best affections for dinners in starred restaurants or tickets for shows, trips, spas and so on. ‘other.
