How to congratulate on a golden wedding?
Instructions
Step 1
Start preparing for this anniversary well in advance. If the couple are members of your family, then it will not be so difficult for you to start collecting bit by bit information and a photo archive about all the significant events of their happy and strong marriage. Connect everyone who can make the upcoming celebration memorable, find out about the talents of each. Write a script, because this holiday is usually celebrated widely and solemnly. But even if it is limited only to a narrow circle of loved ones, a script is also necessary.
Step 2
Buy gifts. Traditionally, it is customary to give everything gold for a golden wedding. But for people of age, the most precious thing will be that which gives warmth and reminds them of the years that they spent together. Present a large and solid photo album with a commemorative engraving on a gold plate. A wall clock will also be an appropriate gift. All of the household appliances that the heroes of the day have always dreamed of, but have not yet been able to purchase - a new TV, lawn mower, garden furniture or even just new chairs, I can bring them so much joy. The grandchildren of the heroes of the day will delight them indescribably if they cook something with their own hands: postcards, frames, embroidery, sculptures, etc. And if there is such an opportunity, you can give the couple a ticket to where they can relax, having learned in advance about their preferences. And, of course, a portrait of a couple in a ceremonial golden frame will be an excellent memorable gift!
Step 3
Please note that if the holiday is celebrated at home, the ideal solution would be a warm feast with the presentation of gifts, a home concert and joint viewing of photos. Make a simple slideshow based on photos from different years with descriptions and watch it with the whole family. Prepare a concert program with the participation of both the smallest talents and adults. Perform favorite songs of the heroes of the day, dance, read poems, ask them to sing - do what they love so much, and everyone will remember the holiday!
Step 4
Prepare for the fact that the celebration can take place in a restaurant (or prepare such a surprise for the heroes of the day) and create an unforgettable evening with an atmosphere of memories, congratulations, music, dancing, the ritual of the "golden marriage", the exchange of old rings for new, old rings, the couple usually gives someone one of the grandchildren. Decorate the hall with 50 golden balloons, homemade posters with good and humorous wishes, and a newspaper made from photographs. Order a huge cake that matches the occasion - not only with the number 50, but also with your favorite phrase "young", hearts, names, or simply in a noble golden-white-chocolate scale. Make a film about the life of the heroes of the day and show it on the big screen. Prepare a solemn gift-giving ceremony, this can be either part of a single script or improvisation along the way.
Step 5
Stock up on a good mood and patience for the whole evening, because a golden anniversary is a big “golden” wedding, and at a wedding, in addition to what is planned, a lot of things can happen that were not envisaged by the script: some of the heroes of the day or guests can get emotional or get tired, and someone to have immoderate amusement, but for naughty children you need an eye and an eye. In addition, do not forget to capture what is happening on your camera and camcorder yourself or with the help of professionals. After all, this will also be a wonderful and memorable gift for those who carried their love through half a century!
