Once the venue has been decided you can sit down together to make your guest list. This is one occasion where you cannot leave out any of your close friends and relatives. To make this event extra special you can decide to send out handmade invitation cards to all the guests informing them about the date, time and place.

Setting The Menu

The next important agenda is to decide the kind of foods you want to serve to your guests. If you are celebrating your golden anniversary in a banquet hall or restaurant you can hire a caterer who will prepare all the food. This will take off quite a burden from your shoulders and leave you free to mingle with the guests.

However, one thing that you should not leave it to the caterer is the party cake. Find a cake that goes with the theme of your party. For instance, if you have kept everything golden then you can order a golden butter cake or golden rum cake.

Golden Anniversary Party Activities

Simply throwing a party is not enough. You need to ensure that the guests are having a blast. Since it is an anniversary party there should be some activities for you and your spouse along with the other couples in the guest list.

For instance, you can plan a question-answer round to see which couple knows each other the best. A party is dull without music. So, hire the best DJs who can take you back to the time when you and your spouse had just met.
