Golden Wedding: Great ideas for the 50th wedding anniversary

Anyone who manages to be married to the same partner for 50 years can rightly be proud of themselves. A marriage no longer lasts because you have to stay married for financial reasons. We now marry for love and stay together for love.

After 50 years, you have spent most of your life together. We endured ups and downs, probably also started a family - and no matter how difficult it got: we stuck to each other and never turned our backs on the relationship. This can be celebrated!

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!

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.

Reading tips:

However, it will be even nicer if you come up with something special for your golden wedding anniversary. The couple's children in particular shouldn't just give away money. 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.

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!

Martin Luther

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
