Celebrating 50 Years of Marriage with a Party

When it's time to celebrate your parent's 50th wedding anniversary, it's time to do it up right. 50 years of marriage is a huge milestone that not very many couples achieve. So give them that very special party.

Yes, gold is the traditional color for 50th anniversaries. It's that golden wedding anniversary that makes the color scheme so easy and beautiful. Whose parents don't deserve elegance for this milestone? So an elegant party is perfect. Gold and black color scheme make an elegant party!

The invitations for a 50th anniversary are gorgeously done in gold. And they make it easy for your to plan the party decorations. Everything gold, of course. Golden stars hanging from the ceiling. A golden 50 as part of the centerpiece. Even gold tablecloths with black napkins are ideal.

I talk gold and black for a reason. The woman can wear a golden dress while the man wears a black tuxedo. The honoree couple become a big part of the color scheme.

But, elegant 50th anniversary invitations include lots of gold and white as well. Many of the decorations available are gold and white. So there is another color scheme to work with.

Actually, gold can work with so many different colors. So you aren't limited if your parents have different favorite colors than black or white. I like to make use of the 50th anniversary invitations to give me more great ideas. For example, I found satin sashes as part of one invite. Since teal is my mother's favorite color, I accented the gold with teal satin sashes. Stunning was her description.

So get planning. And make use of the 50th anniversary invitations to help you with the elegant decorations and color scheme. Your parents will love it!
