25 wedding anniversary gift

Questions and Answers

What is an appropriate gift for a Silver (25th) Wedding Anniversary ? I intend to spend around £20- £25...?

Q) Something appropriate not entirely useless. I also want to try to avoid buying what many of the other guests are likely to buy. ...less of the crap please ! serious question. Thanks !

A) A good quality silver photo frame, a silver tea tray, or silver napkin rings. On the fun side, you could go for a framed newspaper front page from the day they married, or a photo album with the first 25 pages dedicated to one year in their lives (and lots of blank pages to follow) ... this might need to be co-ordinated with the family and depends how well you know them. A garden or verandah ornament in silver or with 25 sections would also be a lovely idea. Best wishes :-)

What is the perfect 25th wedding anniversary gift for friends?

Q) simple and fun for around $25--what would you give?

A) Well, that's the Silver anniversary, so something silver is both the traditional and modern gift. The flower is the Iris. You could find a nice poem and write it out in silver and place it in a frame, create a CD w/songs from the year they got married or write a "Remember When" fact sheet headlines from thier weddign day, top movies, cost of living etc... See the below website. Good Luck!

My parents' silver wedding anniversary (25 years) is coming up next week. What do you think I should get them?

Q) They have been a loving, caring, funny and supportive couple throughout. They also did a great job in raising their kids ;-) Me and my younger brother want to commemorate their special bond and relationship that seem to have cemented the notion "made for each other" by getting them a really special and touching gift. A dinner and a customised cake are definite, but a gift...we're stumped. Budget is under US$ 100. Appreciate your input!

A) When Mama and Daddy celebrated their Silver Anniversary, my brother and I got them different gifts but we each got them something. He and my sis-in-law bought them a silver tea service with the date of their silver anniversary engraved on the tray. I bought them a silver tray that Mama used very much over the years.

When you are getting remarried for your 25th Anniversary how do you ask for money and not gifts?

Q) My aunt his having her 25th Wedding Anniversary in August. She is getting remarried. She wants to put in the invitations that she prefers money (for her honeymoon, ect.) instead of gifts because her and my uncle have been together for 25 years and they already have everything for the house that they could possible have. They also just remoldered their house, so they don't need a new blender, or stuff like that. What is a good way to ask for money instead of gifts without it being tacky, cheap or being offensive? I know some people won't like it but we want to put it in a "classy" way.

A) Although how you phrased it does sound a little on the trashy side I think I understand what you are trying to ask....... I would do a more casual personal invite (kinda like a letter): "I honors of my Aunt____ and Uncle______ 25th wedding anniversary, I would like to invite you to witness as they once again profess their love to one another and renew their once spoken vows. The planned event will be held at______ On_____ at_______. Please RSVP by_____.As we all know, a successful marriage like theirs has taken years of hard work to perfect. This is why I would love to send them on a second honeymoon to _____, their favorite place. Any and all contributions to make this reality would be greatly appreciated. I am very excited to be apart of this wonderful event and I know they are just as excited to share it with you again. Can't wait to see you all there. With all our love, Your Name or Your name and family

My parents will be married 25 years and I need (inexpensive)gift ideas from my brother and I, ages 20 and 17.?

Q) Their anniversary is June 20th. I have already arranged for them to renew their wedding vows in our church, but I would also like to get them a gift to commemmorate the occasion. Neither my brother or myself has quite enough money to send them on vacation, so we were looking for some other ideas/alternatives. Any and all help will be appreciated! :)

A) I did this a couple year ago for my parents... Get a relative to buy a bottle of champagne, then make chocolate fondue for just the two of them. Take your younger brother out to friend or relative's house and give your parents the evening to themselves. The chocolate fondue seems like it's complicated but it's really as easy as buying some goodies (strawberries, cheesecake, or fruit or smacks of any sort) and melting the chocolate. (Be sure to use a double boiler though, or else the chocolate will just burn.) You can always decorate the house for not much money and do little things like light some candles for them (Dollar store has great candles!) Good luck. You're a great daughter for thinking of them. I'm sure anything you do for them will be appreciated and special. :)

What Is He Saying About Our Wedding?

Q) We drove past the church where we were married and I was reminising about our wedding when he turned to me in an angry voice and said...Frankly I thought you were a laughing jackass! My feelings were instantly hurt. He never wants to celebrate our anniversary. He says he loves me and gives me gifts all year round but never on that day. Why would he be angry after 25 years? Later he appologized and said he should not have said that but for me it ruined that memory of that day. What do you think? Please be nice! I did laugh through the ceremony but it was because I was so happy. He says he was trying to be serious. I would like to believe that but if you look at our wedding photo he is not smiling. I am beaming from ear to ear. If he did not want to marry me why did he stay all these years. Our kids are grown and gone and there is nothing else holding him if he wants to go. I do think he loves me I just can't figure out why he punishes me on our anniversary. He knows full well it hurts me for him to void that day.

A) What an unusual thing to say to someone about their wedding day after 25 years of marriage. Doesn't want to ever celebrate anniversary? I think there are some problems that you have chosen not to see all these years. It doesn't sound like this man has been very happy.

Should we get them a clock?

Q) ok, It is my parents 25th wedding anniversary this weekend we rented a hall, got a d.j and are having a big family gathering for it {they already know} my husband and I were thinking maybe buying them a big grandfather clock , most people are just giving them money but I want to give them something they can keep for years to come and hopefully look at for a reminder of how much they have loved eachother throughout these 25 years is a grandfather clock a good gift for them for thier 25th or should I get them something else?? If so any ideas?

A) Well, traditionally, the gift is supposed to be something silver/sterling silver, but a grandfather clock is a wonderful idea. They are very beautiful, and can be passed down for many generations. Just make sure you find one that the chime can be turned off if they have never had one before. The chime might get on their nerves....they can be aggrevating, startling, or interruptive, and it takes a while to get used to it.
