Looking for special 50th anniversary party ideas that celebrate a long-lasting couple? After all, 50 years of marriage is no small feat! Celebrate the longevity of a special couple’s love with an anniversary party that will honor a unique relationship. An anniversary party can be a callback to the couple’s wedding, as well as a celebration of all they have experienced together since that day.

The key to creating a memorable party is to plan one that is personalized for the pair. Incorporate inside jokes, symbolic elements of their relationship, and memories from the many milestones they have surpassed together. Ahead, we’ll share several 50th anniversary party ideas that the happy couple will adore. Customize each as you see fit to ensure each moment is special and personalized.

Here are 9 fabulous ideas:

1. Create a slideshow or movie: Compile a slideshow of the best pictures of the couple and set it to their favorite songs.
2. Don’t forget to add touches of GOLD: The 50th anniversary is known as the “golden anniversary,” so allow that to inspire your decor choices. Find invitations, tableware, and decorations with gold accents at your local party supply store, and consider ordering a custom cake featuring gold decorations.
3. Toast to the happy couple: Just like on their wedding day, prepare toasts for the couple to commemorate the occasion. These toasts are traditionally given by the couple’s children, as well as close friends and family.
4. Pick a venue that matches the couples’ personality: A picturesque backyard for a nature-loving couple. An art gallery for the creatives. A penthouse for the homebodies — you get the picture.
5. Pay tribute to their wedding day: Throw it back to that special day half a century ago. Use their wedding album to guide the anniversary party ideas and design a party that mirrors their reception.
6. Make a romantic “mixtape”: Create a playlist of love songs that suit the couple’s relationship and popular songs from when they were dating.
7. Host couples’ games: Set up games that test a couple’s compatibility or knowledge of each other.
8. Surprise the couple with a photoshoot: Hire a photographer and allow the couple to recreate their wedding photos or stage engagement photos (which they might not have taken when they got engaged).
9. Have a vow renewal for the couple: There is no better time to renew your commitment than at an event celebrating long-lasting love!
