50th Wedding Anniversary Planning50th wedding anniversary planning can be a bit stressful! 50 years of making friends and family can mean that there would be lots of people to invite. You first need to think about the type of 50th anniversary party that your golden couple would enjoy. My aunt and uncle had a big party, organised as a wedding, complete with dancing but my grandparents enjoyed a family meal at one of their favourite restaurants. Which would they enjoy? When you have worked out if you are inviting everyone or just family you will have a rough idea of numbers. You will now need to find the venue! Look at local hotels and function facilities, get menu samples, bar prices and if not included the room hire. Also ask around, a local community hall could be just what you are looking for in space and also facilities. A number of community centres have their own kitchen and just ask that you clear up afterwards. This could save you a fortune. If the couple are members of a local social club or golf club they may have membership discounts to hire the room, plus this is a venue known to them and the service would be great. When you are looking around any of the possible venues think about the size of the room - is everyone going to be seated at tables. The location - is it easy to find for your guests that are travelling, is there overnight accommodation if needed? And the decor - would you need to spend lots to make the room look nice? When you have all the information, the next stage in your 50th wedding anniversary planning is to collate all of the facts; prices, sizes, ease, minimum numbers etc. We find the best way to do this is to have all of the information on a spreadsheet so that you can compare apples with apples. When you have made your decision you will need pay a deposit to the venue to secure the date, and make sure you read the contract! 50th wedding anniversary planning gift ideas here!
