After all the struggle, hard work, turmoil, and love of family and children, its 25th anniversary comes. They are those glorious memories of life that one can feel have passed quickly. In this fast-paced world of separation, spending these 25 years in faith, love, and trust with your partner is becoming increasingly rare. Take advantage of this opportunity to surprise your parents or partner by organizing a 25th Anniversary party.

What type of room should I select?

This is the first thing that comes to our mind when we think of such an occasion. It is not always necessary to go to banquet or wedding halls. As these halls are easily available at lower prices compared to banquet halls, it makes it easier for last-minute planners to go ahead with such a venue. Since they are labeled as birthday party rooms, they do not need to be used for this function only. Being multipurpose in nature, events such as the anniversary party can also be organized. Choosing the right venue will depend on your budget, the number of guests, and what closely resembles your parents/partners’ choice.

How to plan this party?

• Once you have zeroed in on any of the venues (children’s birthday party), now comes the planning and writing part of the whole event. Make a rough sketch or download some photos online as to the decor and interiors you want for this feature. Or you can add a personal touch by putting your own creative ideas. Try and recreate the decoration the same as at the time of marriage. Tips can be taken from your marriage albums.

• Renewing wedding vows is a trend that is followed at 25th birthday parties. It is to relive the moment, which happened 25 years ago. Although every couple remembers those 7 vows, renewing it makes for a nostalgic moment for you and your loved ones. Your children will be more excited as this is the only chance to see their parents get married. Planning the same would require you to arrange a priest, flowers, and the necessary ingredients. Playing the original phera video in the background would add that magic while doing the same in the present.

• To add more surprise elements in the party, have your relative’s children act out their love story, how they both met, fell in love, their marriage and some important moments after their marriage, etc.

• Food- This section is entirely up to you. One can opt for traditional, modern or Indo-Western food and drinks. Keep veg and non-veg sections, a separate wet bar, snacks and entrees well positioned based on available aisle space.

• Since it’s your Silver Jubilee celebration, bring out some champagne as a toast to your successful 25 years of love.

• Wedding cake must be ordered in advance along with your preferred style and flavor.

• You can plan to surprise your parents/partner by booking tickets to some exotic location for the second honeymoon.

• Keeping fun games like how well do you know your partner with some fun questions gets all the married couples and their kids involved in it.

• Designate a photographer so you can get “Then & Now” albums to relive all those fun moments.

It is a milestone in your life, feel every minute of this extravagant party with your partner and enjoy with your family and friends.
