70th Wedding Anniversary Ideas for The Platinum Couple

A 70th wedding anniversary is certainly something worth celebrating. Once a couple has reached this milestone, many of the traditional ways of celebrating an anniversary may be too much for the couple. However, there are many lovely ways you can help mark this occasion for a couple in your life. There are ideas for trips out and even some fun things you can do without leaving the home. Helping a couple to celebrate this amazing achievement will be appreciated by them both.

A family celebration

Spending some quality time with family is a great way to celebrate a 70th wedding anniversary. The couple probably won't want to have a big night time party, but there are other ways you can bring everyone together.

You might like to organise for the extended family to have lunch or dinner at a favourite local restaurant. Perhaps there is even a place that the couple enjoy, but no longer get the chance to visit.

You could also hold an afternoon tea party at home, either theirs or your own. This is a good way of bringing a group of people together without a lot of hassle.

You could play music from the era of their wedding, and even get out some old photos to pass around. Often grandkids have never seen these photos and really enjoy it.

As time goes on, we don't all get to see our family as much as we like, especially if separated by distance. Perhaps there is someone in the family the couple don't get to see as much as they would like. A nice idea is to take them to visit the relative, or if this is difficult, bring the relative to them.

An afternoon out

Another way to celebrate a 70th wedding anniversary is to take the couple out for a nice afternoon together. You might visit a local park or flower garden. If you choose a sunny day, you could spend a lovely afternoon enjoying the sunshine, sitting back and relaxing, and just watching people go by. If you like, you could even take a picnic along.

An afternoon tea at a nice hotel is another good idea. It's something that the couple would likely enjoy, but not treat themselves to. Choosing a very nice hotel is a good idea, you might even like to let the staff know what you are celebrating so they get the platinum treatment.

Great Fun at Home

Unfortunately, not all couples celebrating a 70th wedding anniversary may be able to spend a day out. This doesn't mean that they can't celebrate the occasion. You might like to bring them an old movie from the time they were married, and spend an afternoon watching it with them. You could bake some cupcakes and serve afternoon tea. You could also bring over some music they enjoy for them to listen to.

Cooking a meal for them to eat and enjoy together is another nice sentiment. Put together some of their favourite foods, and don't forget a scrumptious dessert as well. You might like to play waiter for the night, so they can have a romantic night of relaxation.

Helping a couple to celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary is a very lovely thing to do, and will be much enjoyed by the couple. There are plenty of good ways to celebrate, for couples of all ages and mobility.
