50 Years
1. Gold-Themed Gifts o The traditional themed for a 50th wedding anniversary is gold. Instead of things actually made of gold, find gifts that are gold in color or have gold connotations. For instance, you could give potted plants that are gold in color, like marigolds or goldenrod. You could research a song or record that went gold in the year that the couple was married and purchase it from a reseller. Or you could give a platter or other piece of pottery with a gold border or pattern.
Homemade Gifts o Use your talents to create a homemade gift. If you're handy with a computer, scan some of their photos and use a movie program to make a montage. Set it to music that means something to the couple. Create a small scrapbook of some of the most important moments in their 50-year marriage. These gifts are inexpensive but will be cherished as gifts from the heart
1. Then and Now o Expand the photo gift idea by creating a "Then and Now" gift. Put together a picture frame with their original wedding photo, and a new photo of them together that is from the last year. You can also put a then and now photo on a cake, which any bakery would be happy to do; simply provide them with the photographs. You could also add photos of their vehicle from then and now, or house from then and now.
2. T-Shirts o You can buy many different types of t-shirts as funny gifts for a couple. One t-shirt availablefor a man says "I've Been Married for 50 Years! Kudos to my Wife for Putting up with me that Long!" Other personalized shirts make funny gifts as well.
3. Flowers o Buy 50 daffodils and accent them with violets in a nice vase that the couple can keep. Daffodils will be the "gold" in the bouquet and violets are the flower of the 50th anniversary. Instead of a vase, buy a gift card to include with the flowers. Gift card ideas include movie, grocery store, jewelry store, restaurant or gas.
