50 year Anniversary

[Karen]

Another idea - send out 50 index cards - or hand them out at the party, and ask people to write one memory of the couple on each one, and collect them and present them in a gold-painted basket with ribbon at the party!

My mom got ALS and died before my folks could have a 50th wedding anniversary, but I tried to rally folks for a 40th anniversary party. Unfortunately, that one is the Ruby Anniversary, so I told Dad - "Sorry, I could not afford ruby slippers in size 12!" We had a bit of a party that day, not huge, but I am glad we did. Several people said "Why do one now? Why not wait for 50?"

I am glad I didn't wait.

I think a gold coloured fishing rod for him would be nice.
And for her....perhaps a new frying pan that she can cook the fish in.
Sounds good to me

A golden rolling pin and a golden baseball bat?

50 pics, one from each year of their marriage made into a collage?

This is a great idea Karen.
