Wedding Anniversary Parties: Celebrating Love's Milestones. Whether you're celebrating your own wedding anniversary or throwing an anniversary party for your parents, grandparents or friends, there are many things to consider. From big, expensive extravaganzas to budget-friendly gatherings, you'll find there's more than one way to create a unique and memorable event that celebrates a long and happy marriage.

Wedding Anniversary Party Planning: Frequently Asked Questions

Q: My parents' wedding anniversary is coming up. Should I throw a party?

A: That depends on which anniversary it is. Generally, anniversaries 1-14 are celebrated only by the couple (but cards and well wishes are appreciated). Around the 15th anniversary, the occasion starts being celebrated by the family. Of course if it's a milestone anniversary, you should definitely have a party.

Q: Is it acceptable to have an informal party for my parents' anniversary party?

A: That depends on the anniversary couple. If they are not comfortable with formal affairs then by all means, have a more casual celebration.

Q: When should I mail the anniversary party invitations?

A: You should try to mail the anniversary party invitations about 6 weeks in advance.

Q: Will I need to hire a DJ or band?

A: That depends on the type of party you're having and where you're having it. If the party will be held in a ballroom or other large room, you may want to invest in professional music. If it's a casual celebration held at someone's home, you're probably fine just using your own sound system for background music.

Q: Is it a good idea to throw a surprise anniversary party?

A: Probably not, since some people don't respond well to surprises. In addition, it may be helpful to get the anniversary couple's input on a number of things for the party.

Q: Does an anniversary party have to be catered?

A: Absolutely not! If you can afford a caterer, by all means do. That gives you more time to mingle and make sure the guests and couple of honor are taken care of. But you can also prepare the food yourself. Casserole-type foods are easy to prepare and freeze ahead of time, and then all you have to do is heat them up.

Q: Should I hire a photographer to capture the special moments of the anniversary party?

A: It's a nice idea, but it can also be expensive. To capture the celebration from all angles, invite guests to take photos. Simply place single-use cameras around the room and then collect them in a basket at the end of the party.

Q: Should I have an anniversary party on the actual day of my parents' anniversary?

A: That depends. They may already have plans to do something special together. If so, plan the party for the weekend closest to the anniversary date. If they don't have plans, it's acceptable to have the party on the actual anniversary.

Q: Who should I invite to an anniversary party?

A: When considering the guest list for an anniversary party, keep in mind what type of party you're having (formal/casual), where you're having it (large room/someone's home) and your budget. These factors will help determine how many people to invite. When making the guest list, consider family, friends, coworkers and colleagues from groups or organizations the couple belongs to.
