Ideas To Make Your 60th Wedding Anniversary Special

Your 60th wedding anniversary is really something special. You've spent six wonderful decades together, what a great achievement! Your anniversary should not pass without a celebration. There are plenty of ways to make it special, from a simple romantic meal together, to a weekend away.

Spend a lovely afternoon together

Your 60th wedding anniversary is a great opportunity to spend a lovely day out together.

Do you have a favourite museum or art gallery that you have visited together in the past? Now is a good opportunity to revisit it, and see how things have changed.

Another idea is to take an afternoon river cruise. You can take these in most big cities and towns that have large rivers, most will run for a few hours. You'll get to take in some lovely views, and will often be served refreshments and a meal as well.

Spending time with your family is also a nice way to celebrate your anniversary. However, you don't need to organise a party if you don't want to. You might just have an afternoon picnic, or even an informal barbecue to mark this special event.

1950's inspired anniversary ideas

Be inspired from the era of your wedding for great 60th wedding anniversary ideas. Seeing a 1950's tribute band is a good idea, you might remember many of the songs played from when you first got married. You could also just pick up a classic 1950s movie on DVD that you once saw at the pictures and enjoy it together at home, complete with choc ices or homemade popcorn and a bottle of wine.

You could go out for dinner at a favourite restaurant or you might simply like to dine in a place you've visited together in the past and have been meaning to go back to.

Take a weekend away

Your 60th wedding anniversary is a great reason to take a mini-break. Perhaps there is somewhere local you might like to visit, or even the place you spent your honeymoon. You might just like to use the excuse to visit some family that live out of town.

The motif attached to the 60th wedding anniversary is the diamond. With this in mind you could spend a weekend in London, and take a look at the crown jewels, featuring 'The Great Star of Africa' one of the world's largest diamonds. You could also visit the jewellery quarter in Hatton Gardens in London or Birmingham.

London is a great place for any celebration. You'll have plenty of choices for a romantic anniversary meal, or if you feel like taking in a show you could visit the west end. If you liked the idea of sharing an afternoon tea together, then London is probably the most exclusive place in the world to do this.
