An anniversary is a significant event in a person's life, especially if he is already in old age. It is important to congratulate him on this holiday by laying a beautiful table and inviting guests to him.
Decorative table decorations
Think about what the hero of the day likes the most. This will help you choose the right idea for your table decoration. For example, if he is an avid fisherman, you can lay a tablecloth with a "sea" pattern, and place a decorative model of a fish or a fishing rod in the center of the table. Above the table, you can hang photos of a fisherman with a catch in beautiful frames.
Chat with the closest relatives and friends of the hero of the day. Perhaps they will tell you something that is unknown to you, and give a worthwhile idea for the decoration of the celebration. Ask them to share memorable photos, mementos, and other items that link them to this person. All this can be placed on the table or in the room where the feast will take place.
Get a large and beautiful bouquet of flowers and place them in a prominent place in the room. It is better to place the bouquet in a tall vase and place it on a bedside table or shelf near the festive table. Around the vase, you can put gifts prepared for the hero of the day, as well as holiday cards.
Remember that the anniversary should be a fun holiday, despite the fact that the person himself is already in old age. He is unlikely to like burning candles and drawn curtains, creating a sad atmosphere. Balloons filled with helium, which can be tied to the legs of chairs, or even placed on a table, tied to a small weight object, would be quite appropriate. You can also bring a tape recorder and play favorite songs of the hero of the day, perhaps from his youth.
Think about how the guests will sit at the table. Be sure to prepare a place at the head of the table for the hero of the day. Next to him, you can put a chair for his wife, and his children or beloved grandchildren can sit on the left and right sides of the birthday man. Remember that it is important for an elderly person to feel the attention and love of his closest people, and he will be very pleased to be around them.
Preparation of the holiday menu
Prepare a suitable meal menu. Please note that some types of dishes may not be suitable for the hero of the day for health reasons, and they need to be discussed with his next of kin. Healthy and wholesome food is quite appropriate: salads from greens and fresh vegetables, lean meat or chicken, vegetable stew, etc. Of course, you should also cook your favorite dishes of the hero of the day. An elegant vase filled with fruits will help you decorate the table. For dessert, present the traitor with a beautiful cake with a congratulatory inscription and candles that he can blow out.
