25th Wedding Anniversary Ideas

Looking for ideas and inspiration for your 25th Wedding Anniversary Party? You are in luck... the 25th is the silver anniversary and silver is everywhere. Silver an easy color to decorate with, will combine with almost any accent color, and is readily available.

Begin planning your anniversary party with the group decisions. When? Where? and Whom to invite? Once those decisions are made, and your location and date are confirmed it is time to order silver anniversary invitations. You normally want to send these out 4-6 weeks prior to the party.

Your anniversary party invitations will set the mood. Will your party be formal or casual? 25th Anniversary parties, usually the first one celebrated with a party, can range from formal, adult-only events, to casual family picnics. The choice is yours. Which ever type of event you choose, here are some silver accents that may help you with your silver anniversary table decorations and with choosing special touches for your party.

Consider including a sharing insert card with your invitation. Your guests can return it to you with a memory of the couple for a scrapbook, or you can collect them at the party.

You may want to have special guests contribute a toast during the party. These silver toasting flutes would add a nice touch. Treat the anniversary couple like royalty by crowning them king and queen for the evening. This party supply company offers a wide selection of royal accessories. We also found this fun "popper" that looks like a champagne bottle and shoots out confetti. If you are going casual, this company offers silver paper ware and plastic ware. A large set of silver party hats and supplies can be found at Target.com, new-years style.

Your tables will want a little silver sparkle. Silver party favors can double as table decorations. We found several very nice silver favors on the web.

To find more ideas, consider checking out bridal supplies at your local craft store. Since silver is frequently used as an accent color in weddings, there should be a nice selection of silver ribbons and party supplies. A popular wedding favor is a small silver box filled with candies and personalized. These work great for anniversary parties, too.

Accent with black or white for a formal look, or perhaps with a bright color for a festive effect. Silver photo centerpieces can work as an inexpensive solution that is a great conversation starter.
