To be able to say that you have been married for 50 years is quite an achievement. Something so rare and unique in these disposable modern days should be commemorated. You can find many gift ideas for the couple who have been happily married for the past 50 years that will be cherished for years to come.
What kind of gift is expected for a 50th wedding anniversary?
Both the modern and traditional gift for those who have stuck together to the half-century mark is gold. There are many lovely gifts you can buy that will show your admiration for the couple. After all, not everyone can boast of a 50-year marriage.
For a simple gift that will be lovingly displayed, you can purchase a gold frame that is engraved with the married couple’s name and dates. You can create your own gift by making a memory book that is filled with images from the past and present, and presenting it in an embossed gold album. You can use gold ink to describe the images to stay on the theme of the 50th anniversary of gold. A more elaborate keepsake gift is to paint a small tree with gold paint and decorate it with significant objects and photos to represent your long life together.
Those who want to give a more adventurous gift to those active seniors can send them on a trip to the Gold Coast or Las Vegas and have them stay at a hotel with the Gold name like Golden Nugget. You can send them on a cruise adventure to explore where the Alaskan Gold Rush took place. Many seniors rate a trip to Alaska high on their list of places to go.
A display plate with a poem written in gold can also be a thoughtful gift for a couple who have been married 50 years. They can proudly display their achievement to the world perched high on a shelf or mantle. Matching gold necklaces in his and hers styles may be just the answer you’ve been looking for when you want to spend a little more money on a gift.
Use your imagination and style when deciding on a gift for a couple who deserve recognition for their love and perseverance in the face of adversity and difficult times, as well as good times. They deserve a nod and a round of applause for the example they have set for the younger generation.
