50Th Marriage Ceremony Anniversary Political Party Ideas
Last calendar month my parents celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary. Although they told us much before inwards the yr that they did non desire a political party or reception, thankfully they changed their minds a few months before the 24-hour interval in addition to agreed to a real pocket-size party. We were thence happy to travel able to score this milestone amongst a celebration!

Originally, nosotros planned to get got the political party at my habitation inwards early on October, amongst visions of the perfect outdoor Fall evening... string lights inwards the yard, the patio cleared in addition to gear upward amongst circular tables, tablecloths, in addition to china, in addition to plenty of fourth dimension for them to linger amongst their guests. In truthful Oklahoma fashion, the forecast early on inwards the calendar week of the political party predicted highs inwards the 40s that day... misfortunate for entertaining outdoors! So, nosotros apace scrambled in addition to thankfully a room was available at the church building that would accommodate us. We transferred our full general ideas indoors in addition to packed everything upward to arrive happen!
Entertaining Tip: When transporting dishes, decorations, etc. I've started packing upward everything I tin send away into our suitcases, using towels or throw blankets to wrap delicate items inside. Then, I tin send away easily ringlet everything I demand to gear upward for the party, no to a greater extent than lugging heavy bins dorsum in addition to forth!
All 3 of us girls in addition to diverse spouses in addition to kids were all involved inwards decorating inwards some means or another. We were able to larn into the room a 24-hour interval early on thence it was dainty to get got that extra fourth dimension to laid things up. Here's how nosotros pulled off a budget friendly, elegant yet fun in addition to festive Golden Anniversary party!
We decorated the entrance to the room a niggling bit, recognize the paper fans? ;)
Although the invitee listing could get got been hundreds in addition to hundreds of people if nosotros invited everyone who knows in addition to loves them, they wanted to hold it real intimate in addition to but invited those who had been their friends the longest over years in addition to years, most of whom truly attended the wedding! Mom brought their master copy marriage ceremony invitee mass in addition to had the anniversary political party guests sign it equally well.
We tried to created the same atmosphere indoors that nosotros wanted had nosotros done the backyard party. We used strings of white lights in addition to oversized balloons hanging from the ceiling, in addition to a black, white, in addition to gilt mix for the color palette. The large balloons were supposed to travel round, but yesteryear the fourth dimension they're inflated plenty to achieve their intended size they are the tear driblet shape. :( Hard to nation from the photos but it nonetheless was a dainty resultant though. The tissue newspaper puffs on the calorie-free strings are disguising some of the plugs where multiple strings were connected together.
To hang the balloons in addition to the lights, nosotros but used small binder clips to carefully attach them to the metallic element grid on the ceiling. Back inwards my younger days nosotros used to shove newspaper clips into the ceiling for something similar this... the binder clips worked thence much better!
We gear upward a cake tabular array amongst framed photos from the marriage ceremony (and their private senior photos) equally good equally some marriage ceremony means nuts in addition to mints to become amongst the cake! The star of the decorations was the giant "50" that my sis fashioned out of cardboard, sprayed gilt in addition to and thence glued on gilt glitter, in addition to thence her hubby poked holes inwards it in addition to threaded them amongst an LED calorie-free string. They made the balloon garland too! My pocketbook total of mirrored gilt in addition to argent ornaments came inwards handy to scatter roughly the room for to a greater extent than sparkles.
Of class they had to cutting it in addition to feed the starting fourth dimension seize amongst teeth to each other... ha!
We kept the centerpieces uncomplicated amongst hydrangeas from Trader Joes arranged amongst some lamb's ear from my yard inwards a drinking glass bubble vase (here or here). Mom in addition to all of us sisters (and a few friends!) pooled our white china, flatware, stalk glasses, in addition to gilt chargers in addition to but mixed in addition to matched them on all of the tables. It was cheaper to buy circular tablecloths than rent them, in addition to I know I'll purpose them over again for diverse events thence I'm glad to get got them on hand. We also used cute marriage ceremony "Mr. in addition to Mrs." napkins similar to these.
We all combined the decorations nosotros had in addition to picked upward a few things to add together to them in addition to and thence figured out the best house to set everything i time nosotros got there. This cute banner came from Five Below.

This department of wall had a large church building logo on a sage greenish wall which nosotros didn't desire inwards the photos (as much equally nosotros dearest our church!) thence I used to a greater extent than binder clips in addition to hung a pair of Ikea curtains inwards front end of it. Then, I pinned some jute to them in addition to used mini clothes pins to brand a photograph display.
We also gear upward a photograph booth topographic point inwards some other expanse of the room yesteryear attaching to a greater extent than drape panels to the ceiling. My sis used strips of gold tulle layered on overstep in addition to some metallic element ornaments strung on line-fishing line.
There was a counter inwards the room that nosotros used for a potable station, in addition to to note downward the block of dark cabinets I taped upward a length of wrapping paper, in addition to thence nosotros displayed to a greater extent than photos on top.
We made 2 nifty decisions that made the even out thence much smoother... First, nosotros catered the primary dish in addition to 2 sides. We brought a salad in addition to breadstuff ourselves, but it was thence dainty non to worry nearly the balance of it (normally nosotros would get got done that too!).
Secondly, nosotros hired a lensman friend to get got candid photos through the evening. There is truly no means I could get got taken photos on overstep of keeping everything else moving through the even out (and but enjoying it myself!) in addition to it was thence worth it to travel able to see amongst guests rather than thinking nearly trying to capture all of the memories for the night. Many cheers to Hannah Daffron Photography! The images hither during the political party are hers, equally good equally many others nosotros get got for my parents to hold off dorsum on, in addition to I took most of the the ornamentation photos before the party.
(My sis set together a video of solid unit of measurement in addition to friend photos that looped on the tvs throughout the evening.)
Working together, I recall nosotros pulled off a sugariness even out to celebrate this amazing milestone! So unbelievably grateful for my parents in addition to their instance of a loving, committed covenant matrimony in addition to all the ways they've led in addition to supported our solid unit of measurement through the years.
P.S.- I but came across these at the mall in addition to bought 2 for my Mom in addition to Dad. Several of y'all get got mentioned also having parents that celebrated their 50th Anniversary or a 50th Birthday this year, thought y'all mightiness travel interested inwards the fun memento (stocking stuffer!) too!
