Help......Wedding Anniversary

[Louise82]

Its my Mum and Dad's Silver Wedding Anniversary on Tuesday and I am running out of time to find something. I dont want to buy them a silver photo frame as I bought them one a few months ago.

Any good ideas? I need something I can buy straight away and not order as there is not time.

Thanks

Hi Louise82! When it was my M+D's 25th (last august), my sister and I had a portrait photo of ourselves done at a studio and had it framed. We did however have a few months of planning for it!!! But you could do similar in a short space of time - just get someone you know with a camera to take a nice shot of you (and siblings or children if you have any) and get it developed so that its quite big (we had ours A4 size) and have it framed? My M+D loved it (my dad even cried!!). It's now in pride of place in the house and they are very proud of it! Said its the best present they've ever had!
The other thing we were going to do was to make a scrap book of their lives together - starting from when they first met, through the actual wedding, me and sis being born etc etc. Scrap books are so easy to do now, you can buy the whole thing in a kit and then all you have to do is get creative and get a load of photos of your parents! If you buy a large book so that you have left over pages it then means that they can add to it as time goes on!
Whatever you end up doing I'm sure your parents will really love it!

For my parents I had a certificate type thing made that detailed every thing that happened on that day. It had what song was number one, what the price of a pint of milk , packet of cigarettes, average house was, A list of newspaper headlines from the day, loads of stuff really a bit like those day-you-were-born things. If you are quite creative you could find out this stuff and make up a certificate yourself, otherwise the scrapbook idea sounds really good so you could add them into there. I also got them a card from a more specialist staionary shop that had 25 years embrioidered on the front in silver thread with flowers etc, it was really pretty and I put it in a frame for them. Otherwise just go to a shop like Websters stationers, and buy 25 small things - silver charms, a little plant, silver aniversary keepsakes, a matching set of nice pens for them, silver keyrings, little teddy bear, bottle of champers, and put them all in a silver box with a silver balloon.

How about a plant of some kind. I'm sure you will find one with 'silver' in the name.

You could get a silver handbag for your mother and a 25 year old whisky for your dad.

For my parents silver anniversary, we booked them a table at their favourite restaurant and got a chauffeur driven silver rolls royce to pick them up!

Hope you find something suitable in time!

What about 'His & Her's' matching Silver Watches. They'll always have something to keep as a reminder.
