Leave Your 25Th Wedding Anniversary Invitations To The Pro's

By Ida Dorsey


Wedding anniversaries are special and something you want to share with friends and family - especially if you and your spouse spent a whopping 25 years happily together in loving matrimony! Most happily married couples celebrate their wedding date every year with a romantic occasion. However, silver, gold and diamond anniversaries are true milestones and calls for a huge festivity. Therefore, 25th wedding anniversary invitations should be stylish, unique and reflect the love and personalities of the couple.

Despite the skyrocketing divorce rates, people have and will always treasure love and romance. The concept of celebrating a long, loving marriage originated in the times of the Holy Roman Empire. Husbands used to crown their wives with respectively a silver and a gold wreath on their 25th and 50th wedding anniversaries to show their love and affection. This romantic tradition was passed on to next generations and is still as popular as ever, albeit in a different form.

Today, there are a number of gifts made of different materials to symbolize the various wedding anniversaries. They range from the most common such as wood and tin for fifth and tenth anniversaries to the most precious such as pearl, ruby, gold and diamond for 30, 40, 50 and 60 years of marriage respectively.

It is, of course, not every couple that wants to celebrate their wedding date or who believes in such commercialized traditions. It goes without saying that unhappy couples would probably not even bother to remember their wedding date, never mind celebrating it! However, most people still want to believe in love and romance, and happily married couples with a sense of romance love to celebrate their anniversaries with their loved ones.

Silver anniversary celebrations come in any shape and size, depending on the couple's personal preference. It can be an informal do for family and close friends only, or it can be a lavish gala-event for selected guests. The detailed planning in itself can be overwhelming and couples often underestimate the importance of stylish invitations being sent out timeously. It's no use planning a wonderful event, but only a few guests turn up because the invitations were sent too late.

An anniversary invitation should not only be stylish and professional, it should also reflect the nature of the event and the personalities of the couple. It can be formal, informal and even have a touch of humor, but it must still be professional and stylish to show respect. Even if you plan an outdoor, informal barbeque, the invitations need not look tatty and unprofessional.

Of course, there are thousands of generic anniversary cards in shops, retail outlets and on the internet to choose from. Those general ones are maybe fine for the first few wedding anniversaries, but for a silver, gold or diamond anniversary, one wants something extra special and unique. Therefore it is best to approach a company or person who specializes in designing unique, personalized anniversary cards according to each client's specific needs and wants.

There are myriads of mass-produced invitation cards in retail shops and on the internet. Finding one that exactly suit your needs is almost impossible. It is best to steal with the eyes to get an idea of what you like and then get a professional graphic artist to create a personalized one according to your specific taste and style.
