My husband and I will have been married 30 years in June we have managed to save for a small holiday but I would like a party for family and friends at home that won't cost the earth as we are pensioners and money is tight.

Can you help???

Hi Pat

First an early congratulations on your 30th anniversary!

Traditionally your 30th anniversary is celebrated with pearls and so it would be a nice idea to use that as your theme.

Make your own 30th anniversary invitations by emailing us a photo of the two of you from now or on your wedding day. Free photo anniversary invitations are available here.

Keep the party fairly informal with nibbles and party food, if you have a friend that is great at making cakes why not ask them if they would be able to make your anniversary cake.

Dig out your wedding photos and photos from the last 30 years and have them displayed around the room. You could even ask your guests to bring photos of themselves from that time too, you could then play the game of guess who.

If you feel you need party games then take at look at the anniversary party games here.

Good luck with all of your plans and if you get a chance we would love to see some photos of your party.

Enjoy your anniversary holiday.

Best wishes

Suz and Simon
