Anniversary Party Ideas

Great anniversary party ideas will really help bring your wedding anniversary celebration to life. Whether you're planning a themed party, not sure about which venues to choose or need some ideas for favours or decorations, you'll find the answers right here.

The most popular wedding anniversaries to celebrate are the big milestones.

You'll often find friends and family celebrating 25, 40 and 50 years of marriage, and why not, it's such a great achievement.

But planning a big event such as a wedding anniversary party can be mind blowing. It doesn't have to be with our anniversary party planning guide. Our simple tips will point you in the right direction when it comes to venues, themes, decor and invitations.

The big two celebrations are 40th and 50th wedding anniversaries. After 40 years of marriage you're still spritely enough to enjoy a good knees-up and using the associated meaning: ruby, you can have a great theme too. There are hundreds of variations on this theme from using the colour red throughout your party and getting everyone to wear something ruby coloured, to more nostalgic ideas such as dressing up in the clothes of the year you got married, or even your wedding dress, if it still fits!

With golden wedding anniversaries, there's still plenty of fun you can have too and with our ideas for wonderful 50th anniversary receptions, you'll have plenty of ideas to choose from. Whether it be coloured table cloths and napkins or a golden coloured cake , there are plenty of ways to incorporate the theme of gold in your anniversary party.

Getting the details right

Often with big parties, the devil is in the detail. It's the small things like the cake, favours and invitations that often take the most effort to organise. You think they're simple, but they're often the most time consuming. With our party planning section, you'll find simple, straightforward advice on how to get these items done, plus you'll also find tips on doing them yourself and plenty of other handy hints.
