It is quite popular to throw a party to celebrate the "silver anniversary". It is even more popular to make it a surprise celebration. So, whether you are the happy couple, the children of the happy couple, or friends or family trying to pull this shindig together, this list should get you started, and probably almost finished, with your party to-do list.
Invitations
If you're going to have a party, then you need to let people know about it. Here is a list of invitations that can be used for your happy celebration. It may seem like a long list, but the invitation sets the tone for the entire party. So I wanted to include something for everyone.
Are you planning this as a surprise party? Then these invitations are a great option for you. Just fill in the correct information and wait for the RSVPs to start coming. The envelopes are included and they come in packs of 25.
If you prefer to have your invitations pre-printed, then this these lovely ones are just what you what. The envelopes come with them, you can customize with all the correct information, and they come in a number of different quantities so you can get exactly what you need.
These are another great choice for fill in the blank invitations, especially if you decide to go with the theme "We Still Do". These would also work well if the anniversary party is also a vow renewal. Available in sets of 8 with envelopes included.
How cute are these invitations?! They add a bit of sparkle to the invite and, like the previous invitations, would work for either an anniversary party or a vow renewal because they say We Still Do. These are made in the USA, come in packs of 12 and have envelopes included with them.
If you're looking to add a touch of elegance to your invitations, then these are the ones for you! They come in sets of 8 with the envelopes.
Table Disposables
All of the 25th Anniversary parties that I have ever attended have used disposable table settings unless something else was provided by the venue. It is because of this that I decided to only include the disposable items on this list. If you are planning to use table linens and silverware then the venue is most likely providing them. That doesn't mean you should skip this section, though, you may still find something for the cake and/or dessert table or as a backdrop.
If you'd like to meet all of your dinnerware needs with one purchase, then look no further than this beautiful set. Although this particular set has everything you need, if it has more than you need, this seller has the same set with less pieces. For example, you can purchase a set that does not include cups. Isn't it great to have options?
Do you prefer your silverware rolled? It definitely makes it easier to transport and put out! Look no further than this pack of 60 sets of rolled silver plastic silverware. And best yet, you won't even need to roll any of it because that work has been done for you!
What is a milestone celebration without fancy napkins that depict said milestone? These ones are perfect for an anniversary party! Plus, they come in a pack of 100. That is unheard of! Normally napkins like this come in much smaller packages and end up costing so much that they are only used with the cake. But these napkins can be shown off all around the party.
Much like fancy napkins coming in small packs, this is normally true for plates, as well. However, not this time! These elegant and nice sized dinner plates (they are 10.25" in diameter) come in a pack of 100. Wow! Such a great option!
Check out these pretty cups! I love how they sparkle. If you need cups for your event, look no further than these 12 ounce ones. They come in packs of 50.
I have to say, I have never seen a table covering package this nice before. The rectangular tablecloths are disposable, but the silver table runners are satin polyester so you can use them over again. And if you like this set of 24 table coverings for this event, then be sure to check out the other color options for any other celebrations you hold in the future!
Speaking of reusable tablecloths, look no further than these beautiful waterproof, wrinkle-free microfiber tablecloths. They come in multiple sizes and colors, including another silver pattern. If you prefer table linens to disposables, these are the ones for you! Depending on the items you plan to set on the table, you may want to consider one of the other colors so that everything gets to shine.
Here is a tablecloth that is versatile! You can use it to cover you tables, decorate a table or as a backdrop. It comes in a multitude of sizes and colors. If you are using one as a backdrop, you may want to consider a different color depending on the photo props or surrounding decorations, just to make sure one doesn't blend into the next.
Serving
No party is complete with out some sort of dessert. This section of the list is dedicated to items to serve your desserts and/or appetizers.
Mmm, cake! With a gorgeous cake stand like this, any cake will be well-displayed. Even if you decide not to have a cake at your party, this stand will look great with any dessert or appetizer on it.
This cake stand is a great option if you want to be able to use it again for any occasion since it is clear. It has a 16" diameter and stands ~ 6" high. Great for cupcakes, donuts, a cake, or anything else you can think to put on it.
Speaking of dessert, how about displaying yours on this beautiful 3 tier glass set. These can be stacked on top of each other, or stand alone on their silver legs. The square trays are 8, 10, and 13 inches and each have a different size leg so that the heights vary to add to the visual effect.
It is hard to believe these lovely gems are actually considered paper plates, but they are. Available in 2 sizes and 4 colors, they will work well to serve appetizers or desserts to your guests. They would also look great as serving platters for certain foods.
Decorations
What's a party without decorations? Here is a great list of fun items to liven up your party space and pull together your overall theme. You don't need everything on this list, but I included extra items just because everyone has different tastes. What one person may like may not be to the like of another person.
What's a cake without a cake topper to celebrate the happy couple? This one is sure to elevate the look of any cake.
This cake topper is a little simpler in design, but it makes up for that with all the sparkle!
Silver confetti against a black tablecloth would look great and elegant! Just be sure to open the bag ahead of time so you can shake the pieces apart for easy distribution.
Confetti adds some extra pizazz to any table setting but lets face it, sometimes the clean up isn't worth the visual effect. That's where this confetti comes in because it is larger than normal confetti, making cleanup easier. It would also be great for a vow renewal.
You'll want to show off pictures of the happy couple through the years at the anniversary party. This 7 photo banner is a gorgeous way to do just that!
If you love the idea of a banner displaying photos but can't narrow it down to just 7 pictures, try this beauty that holds 13 pictures! And, it would work just as great at a 25th birthday party so it has the potential to be reused.
Whether you are planning an anniversary party or a vow renewal (or maybe both), this banner is a perfect choice if you either choose not to display photos or have a different way to display them.
Photo booths are very popular anymore so make sure you're prepared. This funny 25th anniversary prop set is perfect for making memories together. They'd really stand out against a dark backdrop.
For an easy centerpiece idea, just drop some rocks or gems into some vases and add these dazzling centerpieces on sticks. You'll get a 5 sets of 3 sign designs for a total of 15. These would also work for vow renewal decorations.
If you thought the last centerpieces were easy, then these will be a piece of cake. Nothing else is needed, just open and place on a table. And they add a bit of sparkle to any table.
These ceiling decorations look cool dangling from the ceiling or from the edge of a tent or pavilion.
If you're looking for an easy and inexpensive favor idea, look no further. Simply purchase some Hershey kisses and place these stickers on the bottom of them. Then you can sprinkle them around on the tables like confetti or place them in a bowl for your guests to help themselves.
Every party needs at least one balloon, or in this case two. This 40" balloon set is sure to make a statement at your celebration. It would make a great photo prop!
One set of balloons probably isn't enough. If you like the look of balloons at a party, try this pack of 16 "We Still Do" balloons. Also great for use at a vow renewal. I know I really like how these balloons look!
But, we can't forget the ultimate balloon decoration, a balloon arch kit! Even if you don't want to put together the actual arch, this kit provides a nice variety of balloons. But if you do make the arch, consider using it for your photo booth. What an awesome addition to your pictures!
If you want a more upscale look to your decorations, then this 24" silver hoop is just the ticket. Simply add some flowers to it and you're all set.
Why not add a touch of romance to your elegant decor? These 10" tall silver taper candles make a nice addition to any table setting. You get 12 candles in a set with a choice of 10 colors.
If you plan to use the silver hoop, then you'll need some flowers to decorate it with. This is a gorgeous set of sparkly white and silver foam roses. It includes plenty of flowers for all of you decorating needs and plans. Plus, if these aren't the colors you want to use, this box set comes in several other shades.
Every rose needs some greenery to help it stand out. This is a lovely set of mixed greenery sprays to add to your flower arrangements or they also look nice alone. If you don't see what you like, click on the link anyhow because this set comes in 7 different versions so it's possible your favorite just isn't shown on the list.\
If you are going to use taper candles, then you will need taper candle holders. These beauties, available in 4 colors, will add a special touch to your table. They can be purchased in packs of 2 or 12.
These beautiful fake rocks come in 13 different colors so you can find just the look you want. They work great in conjunction with the stick centerpieces or with any other decorative idea you can think to use them. Bonus! You also get artificial flower petals in each package along with the rocks.
Whether using centerpiece sticks, flowers or a combination of both, these bud vases will do the job. You can add water, gift bag filler or decorative rocks like the ones in this list. These vases come in a set of 12, stand 6.5" tall and have a 1.5" opening.
