MAIN Home Life Entertaining 25th Wedding Anniversary

25 years of marriage deserves a celebration of the commitment and love that has made the relationship last.

Whether the silver anniversary party is hosted by friends or intimate family members, it should be a gala tribute to the married couple.

A scrapbook of photos and quotes, along with written tributes by loved ones, makes for a very special presentation for this milestone anniversary.

A special ceremony renewing the marriage vows often is traditionally included on the 25th, which can either be performed in a house of worship beforehand, or else take place as part of the party celebration. (Don't forget the tissues.. and the camera!)

Silver, of course, is a natural choice when planning your decorating theme, and silver is also the order of the day when it comes to gift giving. After 25 years of marriage, many couples also follow the tradition of taking a second honeymoon, so consider chipping in for an ocean cruise or other travel gifts for your guests of honor that will help make memories for a lifetime.
