Photo: UGC A solemn event in the life of every person marks a step towards a new life. An anniversary is an important event. This magnificent holiday should be filled with joy, admiration, warm words and love for the birthday person. This day is dear to everyone in its own way. You will find interesting ideas for congratulations on your 50th anniversary in the article.
What can I wish for you, my dear man?
Agree, any anniversary is worthy of once again remembering the best moments in the life of the hero of the day. Therefore, congratulations for 50 years must be prepared carefully, choosing words with meaning so that they resonate in the heart of the birthday person. Don't read banal words from a store postcard. It’s better to prepare a short poem, which you can compose yourself or order from the appropriate company, having previously sent information about the birthday person. People say that living life is not a field to cross, so there is no need to spare kind words:
- if you are preparing congratulations for the 50th birthday of a woman, a close relative, then it is worth noting her qualities as a good housewife and loving mother, for example;
- a colleague is pleased to hear about what professional advantages he has;
- for your beloved mother you need to choose the most tender words, because she expects and deserves them;
- I have traveled a lot of roads with my girlfriend or boyfriend, so there is something to remember and tell a poem for the occasion.
And if the congratulation is created from the heart and contains pleasant compliments, then it will leave a pleasant impression for a long time and will delight the heroes of the day. There are never enough wishes on this day!
Congratulations
During the celebration of the 50th wedding anniversary, words of congratulations and beautiful wishes are addressed to the heroes of the day. The guests wish the heroes of the occasion health, love, harmony, and long life. It will be especially pleasant for spouses to hear a poem in their honor.
Silver on your temples and humility in your heart, There was honey in life, but also a lot of pepper, For half a century you walked patiently, Divided everything into two and raised children! It is golden, your wedding, today, Apparently, it was with the permission of the Lord, So that you always live in peace and goodness, Even though you worked in sweat, and did not grumble about anything! Let the sun of love shine just as brightly for you, May your great-grandchildren, grandchildren and children adore you, There will be joy in their hearts and warmth and joy, Fifty years together is a golden reward!

50 years of marriage is a significant date, evidence of love and trembling feelings. Celebrate your golden wedding in your family, cheerful company, accepting congratulations, gifts and sincere wishes.
What not to say on your anniversary
Etiquette must be followed in everything. If those congratulating you really prepare correctly, then they will not focus on the woman’s age, even when it is congratulations on her 50th birthday. It is more appropriate to talk about the life core and virtues of the birthday girl, her life principles and achievements. There are many patterns in our lives. But if on ordinary days they are invisible, then on an anniversary you need to forget about them. There’s no need to say for the hundredth time that the birthday boy’s life is just beginning... It’s better to tell guests about the bright moments that await the birthday boy in the next part of his life’s journey. You should not give advice to celebrants if they are wiser than you. Tell us how their advice helps you in life. But wishes for health on this day will never be superfluous. If you use your imagination and don’t turn off your logic, it’s easy to create an original congratulation! *** They say that at forty-five Baba is a berry again. But I will say, at fifty Baba is a real treasure! She knows how to build a husband, Prepare a delicious dinner, She will give sensible advice to the children, The house in her hands is like new. May your family take care of you, and may all your friends respect you.

Gifts from guests
Guests at a golden wedding usually give gifts with special meaning. When choosing an option, it is important to focus not only on the budget, but also on the interests of those celebrating the holiday. Children can give their parents gold-plated items for various purposes. And your grandchildren can limit themselves to beautiful themed cards or fakes.
As mentioned above, it is advisable for children to present their mother with a gold-embroidered scarf on this day as a sign of gratitude for their upbringing and the time spent on them. In this case, the mother should not take off her scarf during the entire event. An interesting gift would be a family album with memorable photographs, which will allow the spouses to plunge into the times of their youth. You don’t have to fill the album to the end, hinting to the couple that life has not yet been lived, but is just beginning. A film with fragments from the couple’s life together will also be an emotional gift. You can rely not only on the symbolism of the holiday, but also present more down-to-earth and practical gifts to the celebrants, having previously discussed options, for example:
- various household appliances to make everyday household chores easier;
- items to help monitor your health or for personal care;
- products made of gilded textiles to add additional home comfort;
- An interesting gift would be an item that relates to the spouses’ hobby. Usually children and guests already know well the hobbies of the heroes of the day;
- specialized kitchen utensils;
- It’s ideal if guests can give the couple a trip to a sanatorium to improve their health. Or relax on the sea coast. Such a gift will show not only generosity, but also care for the couple.
Serpentine of original ideas for a women's anniversary
If a congratulation is being prepared for a woman, it must be targeted and take into account the birthday girl’s tastes, profession and age. The beautiful half of humanity always appreciates attention and sincere attitude, which can be expressed with kind words. Here are a few ideas that you can use and prepare original congratulations for your 50th birthday:
- 1. A shower of wishes. It can be created directly at the holiday, when guests are given blank stars on which they write their congratulations. To the music, guests throw stars up, and the birthday girl catches them and reads them aloud. From the compiled congratulations, a star necklace is created for the birthday girl.
- 2. A comic heartfelt congratulation from male guests can also be prepared directly at the holiday.
- 3. Congratulations from friends can be in the form of ditties. It will be fun and funny.
- 4. A portrait of the birthday girl can also be written in verse and supplemented with collective work on canvas. Anyone can take part in it.
The main thing in any congratulation is the mood, and this should always be remembered. An anniversary is a special holiday that should not be overshadowed by anything, so you need to try hard on this day.
How to celebrate
Celebrate 50 years of marriage in a big way. There are many celebration scenarios, and each couple can choose the most suitable option for themselves.
The most common way to celebrate a holiday is to have a wedding ceremony. Invite your children, grandchildren, all relatives and friends to the celebration. Book an evening in a cafe or restaurant where you can celebrate a grand celebration. At such a significant anniversary, jokes and teasing are inappropriate, but you shouldn’t give up dancing. To create a romantic atmosphere, try to find the song you first danced to as husband and wife 50 years ago.
On their wedding anniversary, the heroes of the occasion should look smart. A beautiful light-colored dress will help a woman create a festive look. Golden elements are required in the outfit: buttons, belt, scarf. Gold jewelry can complement the look: earrings, bracelet, chain, wedding ring. If desired, a woman can wear her wedding veil.
The groom should put on a suit that will add solidity and emphasize the solemnity of the event. As jewelry you can use a tie clip or cufflinks, a ring or a gold chain. A mandatory element is a boutonniere made of fresh flowers.
You can celebrate your golden wedding in a relaxed family atmosphere. The anniversaries gather only their closest relatives and friends, set a festive table, and accept congratulations.
For table settings, use a beautiful table set, golden candlesticks and lots of fresh flowers as a symbol of prosperity. For decoration, choose yellow roses, chrysanthemums or lilies. Balloons will help create a special holiday atmosphere.
The table decoration should be a large wedding cake. At the end of the evening, the heroes of the occasion, together, as 50 years ago, cut the festive treat and treat everyone present.
For a golden wedding there should be a large wedding cake on the table.

Golden wedding customs
It is not even known who invented the tradition of renewing the wedding rings of the heroes of the occasion. Over such a long period of time, even gold tends to wear off, so the rings are replaced with new ones, and the old ones are passed on to one of their heirs.
Receiving such a ring as a gift is considered a great success: after all, it carries an invisible imprint of positive energy, which will also have an impact on the family life of the new owner.
The practice of lighting candles is widespread, which should symbolically illuminate the future path of a married couple. In this case, gilded candles are used, neatly wrapped with ribbons, in beautiful candlesticks with ornate patterns.
For greater effect, it is better to dim the light to emphasize the solemnity of the moment. They are placed in front of the husband and wife on the table, guests are gathered around, and the married couple simultaneously lights the candles.
At the same time, the guests or the host of the holiday wish the celebrants many years of marriage and “burning” of their love like a bright candle flame. An intricate fireworks display will not be superfluous this evening, which is not difficult to choose in our time.
If the silver wedding involved changing the rings from gold to silver, then 50 years of marriage is ideal for another change of rings back to gold. Usually this ritual is intimate and is carried out in private, where the spouses make declarations of love and fidelity to each other. Although in some families this custom is performed in public during a feast. Everything depends solely on the wishes of the celebrants themselves.
Another interesting custom is to shower the married couple with gold coins, flower petals and grains of rice. This tradition exists at ordinary weddings. Why is 50 years not a reason to repeat it? The guests thus express their wishes for many years of marriage, prosperity and mutual understanding.
In addition, the ritual reminds the spouses on their golden anniversary of their wedding day, when they linked their destinies for a long 50 years of life. At the end of the feast, the “bride” sometimes also throws a bouquet into the crowd of guests. At the same time, it doesn’t matter who exactly catches him: a free girl or a married woman. For a single woman, this bouquet will bring a quick marriage, and for an already married woman, a strong marriage that will also live to see the fiftieth wedding anniversary.
How to celebrate your 50th wedding anniversary
If “intermediate” anniversaries on non-circular dates are usually celebrated in a narrow family circle, then a golden wedding is a unique occasion for a celebration on a grand scale. Although at this age (and the spouses will be almost 70 years old), usually you want to see only the closest faces. Therefore, the format of the celebration depends entirely on the desires of the couple themselves.
Many people practice inviting a host, thereby shifting most of the troubles of entertaining the guests onto him. The setting should emphasize the solemnity of the moment. If you still rent a room in a restaurant, then it should be decorated as expected: with gold ribbons, bows and red roses.
Gold, red and white colors should prevail in the color scheme. The wife can wear a white dress, vaguely reminiscent of a wedding, and the husband can wear a strict black suit. At the same time, his cuffs can be decorated with gold cufflinks, and her neck with a gold necklace.
Guests should also be dressed appropriately: in outfits suitable for a real wedding, and each one can symbolically have gold bows or gold ribbons attached to their clothes.
Time for new beginnings
When you turn fifty, it's time to start something new in your life. Is it true! It's time to start walking in the morning and filling your lungs with oxygen. It's time to take it and learn something new. Get a driver's license, or go learn to play the guitar. Fifty years is a fertile age to take up yoga. Or go to a local folk ensemble to remember the songs of your youth. Fifty is a convenient time for various endeavors. Small and great. We wish you that your endeavors will be a joy to you. Happy birthday!
