Do you bring a gift to a Golden Anniversary party (50 yr wedding anniversary)?

I agree that it's a little tough to buy a Golden Anniversary present. First, gold's expensive - and how many golden knick-knacks do you think they really want? Second, what can you buy for someone who's been married that long - they must have everything they need by now, right? Third, does a gift of money feel tacky?

Is there a family member or close friend related to the couple that you could ask if there's anything the couple may want or need?

A gift certificate to a department store might be useful. I've always thought a wreath would be an elegant gift (Ebay has some beauties). Another nice website that offers beautiful silk floral arrangements is, http://www.petals.com./

Good luck & Have fun!

yes, you most definitely bring a present. The fiftieth anniversary is traditionally gold.

A great idea for a personal and unique gift is a handmade painting made from a photo that you send.

The prices are reasonable and the outcome is amazing.

You'd better...on second thought, don't bother; they probably won't remember it, anyway!

Just kidding, yes, it's their pinnacle, so the gift should reflect a certain permanence and respect of the achievement. One gift suited to both of them, like a plaque or a matching piece of jewelry should work niceley!

Ummm the reason why it's called "GOLDEN" is because it is the GOLD anniversary...What do you

THINK you would bring...

you usually bring something of gold
