The meaning of golden here simply means special.

You do not have to be limited by gold things for traditional 50th wedding anniversary gift ideas for parents.

• You could put together a story of your parents' married life through pictures and notes.
• You can make a big scrapbook project for this idea and ask the help of everyone in the family and your parents' friends for pictures of your parents from the time they were dating up to the present.

Personal Canvas

Golden Family Portrait

When was the last time you and the whole family sat down for a portrait?

Why not have an informal family picture taken by a professional. Don't let your parents know that the photographer is a pro and is all set on taking candid pictures of the family to make a photo album. You can pick the most beautiful shot of the family and have it framed in gold. You can help hang the picture in your parents' house. You can also frame smaller family pictures and set them on top of a console or a piano or anywhere convenient.

Golden Family Quilt

Call all of your mom's friends who are handy with needles and together make a quilt.

• Each patch should be done by family and friends. 
•  You can use significant cloths for the patches to make the anniversary quilt meaningful and not just beautiful. 
• The patches can tell a story or represent parts of your parents' married life. Make use of technology. 
• Have your parents' images transferred into a piece of plain cloth and make that piece the center of the family quilt, you could use images from their wedding day and as they are today.

You can buy photo transfer paper at Amazon which you use in your own home printer. Then you use an iron to iron the transfer on.

• It just shows that 50th wedding anniversary gift ideas don't have to be made of gold!
