Stan and Noreen are celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary

Answer

60 years is a fantastic wedding anniversary to be celebrating and is more about having everybody together. It would also be best to check with Stan and Noreen as to the type of party they would want. Do they want a great big party or a more intimate get together?

60 years is traditionally celebrated with diamonds and you could have a sparkly party. There are a lot of party supplies available with 60 to help you decorate.

For a unique party you could go back in time and celebrate each decade that they have been married. You could decorate the room with a big time line with all their important dates on it and photographs, lots of photographs! Births, moving house, weddings and other fun family moments could be on it. Start with 1948 and work your way to 2008.

If you have tables for the guests to sit they could all represent a decade with copies of photos from that time and newspaper copies.

Ask everyone to get involved - maybe even ask each family member to take a decade to collate all the memories.

During the party you could have a 'This is your life' presentation, either projected from a laptop or in a book.

If you have lots of people involved it will make the party much easier to organise.

Good luck with your plans!
