So how do you throw a good party!
These are the top tips to throw an anniversary party for the ages!
Follow the Anniversary Year Theme
Every year of an anniversary has multiple gifts based on the year itself. For example, a fifth-year anniversary theme classically was wood, but in modern times it's silverware. If your parents are in their thirtieth year of marriage, the theme is pearl and diamond: so you can give them an under the sea-themed party for fun to lean into.
This can help a lot if you’re not sure about a theme.

Consider Setting it Around The Year They Got Together
If you don't like that previous theme, consider basing their party around the year or era they got together. This can be a fun way to show how much life has changed since they got together and how much they've grown together over the years.
An example of this would be a couple that got together in 1985, throwing an 80s themed party and playing music from the era. This is fun for everyone involved.
Pick Entertainment That Makes Them Smile
What type of entertainment are you considering? Having an awesome tribute musician like Michael Francis Sinatra can be an awesome way to wow them!
You could also hire a cover band or even find a DJ who can play all of your parents' favourite music. This is a cute and fun way to show how well you know them, and give them something fun to do, like dance together.

Get Great Food That Will Make Everyone Happy
Food matters at every event! The type of food you pick should be something everyone would find delicious, that's a treat for your parents, and something that suits whatever kind of party you're throwing.
When you send out invitations, ask people about their protein preferences so that you don't have to worry about picky eaters the night of.
Pay Attention to the Guest List Early On
Your parents have lived a long life together, so make sure their guest list has friends from all walks of their life. Although there are some people we grow apart from, not all of them are because of big fights.
Instead, invite friends that have supported your parents through the years, that your parents will be excited to see while celebrating their anniversary together. You should ask everyone to RSVP and be clear if they plan to bring a guest.
Your Parents Deserve a Magical Anniversary!
Whether they’ve been together twenty years or sixty: your parents deserve the time of their lives on their anniversary. Make sure to take your time planning, lean into fun and quirky ideas, and pay attention to the details: you can give them an anniversary they’ll never forget.
