Celebrate your silver or golden wedding anniversary by throwing a party for all your friends and family to enjoy. An anniversary party is a wonderful way to reminisce about the past 25 or 50 years of your marriage while thanking those that have supported you both during that time. Once you have decided to plan an anniversary party, it is time to create a guest list and order your wedding anniversary invitations.

Create an intimate party by inviting all your closest friends and family member to a simple and elegant dinner party. To set the mood for such an event, choose a traditional wedding invitation with beautiful rich colors and delicate graphics or embossed elements. If you would like to spice the invitation up a little bit, choose a design that is a non-traditional shape, such as a square or round invitation. Keep in mind that sending square envelopes in the mail does require extra postage.

Help your guests remember the early years by selecting a wedding anniversary invitation that features one of your wedding photos. Not only will you entertain everyone on your guest lit with the outdated styles, but you will also inspire them to dig through their things to locate pictures they may have from that time period. Encourage your guests to bring any photos they may have of you as a couple throughout the years and use them to create a scrapbook or photo album that you will cherish for the next 25 years.

If you are planning a fun and lively party for a large group of people, a bright card with the number of years you have been married is a great option. This option will let your guests know that it is an informal event and is also a fantastic choice for a surprise party.

Inviting your loved ones to your anniversary party is a great way to thank them for being such an important part of your life as a married couple. Friends and family play a very important role in the success of a marriage and they will be honored to be included in the celebration of your love for one another.
