This very special wedding anniversary is therefore often celebrated in a big way. It is not uncommon for the whole family and many friends to be present at the golden wedding anniversary. Often it is even the relatives who organize this celebration. Whether you want to design your own golden wedding anniversary or are looking for tips for the golden wedding anniversary of your parents, grandparents or friends: the coolest ideas and best tips follow!

Golden wedding: decoration for the celebration
When it comes to golden wedding decorations, there is no question: gold over gold. Make golden pompoms, hang up golden garlands, distribute golden confetti: there are no limits to your imagination. The main thing is that you like the decoration and that your location is beautifully festive after your wedding anniversary!
Simple DIY decorations for your golden wedding anniversary
For example, make beautiful place cards out of stones. All you need are stones, a brush and gold paint (Shop here on Amazon*). You can also write the guests' names on the stones with a golden Sharpie. So you have made a pretty gift for the guests.
Also nice: golden flower vases. However, if you don't want to spend huge sums on vases, you can simply spray old glass with gold paint (Shop here on Amazon*). The more different the “vases”, the nicer it looks afterwards. At the end, place a small collection of different old glass vases on a mirror plate and you have a stylish table decoration.
For most people, a celebration also includes balloons. They instantly put you in a good mood. However, if you decorate with gold garlands, gold pompoms and gold balloons, you will quickly have the feeling that the decoration is overloaded. Too much of a good thing is not good either. How about white balloons instead, which you can improve a bit with gold paint? Two or three rough brush strokes are enough and the look is unmistakably cool.

Golden Wedding: Gift ideas for the 50th wedding anniversary
Because the golden wedding anniversary is such a special day, you want to give the couple something very special. Run-of-the-mill gifts just aren’t enough. Of course, you can never go wrong with a gift of money. This means that the couple can ultimately choose for themselves what they want to treat themselves to for their golden wedding anniversary. But even a gift of money needs to be packaged in a very special way.

Golden wedding anniversary gifts should celebrate the couple's love and make them both happy. Something homemade that you have put a lot of love and effort into is often better received.
Golden Wedding Anniversary Gifts: Something baked
Sometimes it's the simplest things that can bring the recipient the greatest joy. So how about you bake a “wedding” cake for the couple? It doesn't even have to be multi-story. Adjusts the size to the number of guests at the golden wedding anniversary. Then bake something you know the couple will love and add the icing on the cake with a personalized cake topper.
Golden Wedding Anniversary Gifts: Something sentimental
This gift requires a little bit of technical know-how, but how about a little film about the couple? Simply scan old photos and retell your life together in pictures. This film becomes particularly nice if you also interview family members. For example, let the children tell you what they have learned about marriage from the two of them, or let the grandchildren recite beautiful quotes and poems about marriage.
You can then show the finished film on a screen at the golden wedding anniversary celebration. This gift is sure to leave no eye dry!

Tipp:If you think the gift idea is great but really have no idea how to edit a film, you can also implement this idea analogue. Make a nice photo album and have each family member write something down in it. This can also be a wonderful keepsake for eternity.

Golden Wedding Poems:
I want to sing a rare example,
The world will be amazed.
That all marriages bring discord,
Everyone believes it, but everyone is wrong.
I saw the pattern of all marriages,
Quiet, like the quietest summer night.
O! that no one may see them,
Who makes me a cheeky liar!
And yet the woman was no angel
And the husband is not a saint;
Each had its flaws.
Because no one is empty of everyone.
But should a scoffer ask me,
How are these miracles possible?
Let me say in response:
The man was deaf, the woman was blind.
Gotthold Ephraim Lessing
I once held you wrapped up in my arm, the strength of youth: youth has disappeared, but my heart still beats warmly. In my life ring, you are the gemstone, and everything I sing, I sing only to you!
Friedrich Bodenstedt
I always loved you, I still love you today, and I will love you forever.
Ludwig Uhland
Golden, silver, iron, brazen
They call the ages of the world,
And to reduce the higher
It is said that she advances.
But man in our days
Does the age look the wrong way:
Youth who are already troubled by worries,
Just adamantly shows its worth.
Life goes well armed,
Even love becomes a fight,
And the constant striving
Is happiness so far from rest.
Only after years of fighting
Fate laughs kindly again,
And with silver in her hair
Will the time, the marriage – gold
Franz Grillparzer
This is the right marriage,
Where two are meant,
Through all luck and woe
Faithfully united on pilgrimages:
One staff of the other
And dear burden at the same time,
Rest and hike together
And aim for the kingdom of heaven.
Emanuel Geibel
It must be something wonderful
For the love of two souls!
They completely include each other,
Never hide a word!
And joy and sorrow and happiness and hardship
Wear it together like this!
From the first kiss to death
Just tell yourself about love.
Oskar Redewitz
