Leave Your 25Th Wedding Anniversary Invitations To The Pro's

By Ida Dorsey


Any couple who manages to stay happily married for 25 years and more sets a wonderful example to their kids and friends and they deserve a celebration. Especially in today's times when divorce is an everyday phenomenon, a 25th wedding anniversary is a special and happy event. Sharing one's love and joy with family and friends is one thing, but the planning of an official celebration can be taxing. Thankfully there are experts in every field and you can leave your 25th wedding anniversary invitations to the pro's.

Despite the skyrocketing divorce rates, people have and will always treasure love and romance. The concept of celebrating a long, loving marriage originated in the times of the Holy Roman Empire. Husbands used to crown their wives with respectively a silver and a gold wreath on their 25th and 50th wedding anniversaries to show their love and affection. This romantic tradition was passed on to next generations and is still as popular as ever, albeit in a different form.

Today, there are a number of gifts made of different materials to symbolize the various wedding anniversaries. They range from the most common such as wood and tin for fifth and tenth anniversaries to the most precious such as pearl, ruby, gold and diamond for 30, 40, 50 and 60 years of marriage respectively.

It is, of course, not every couple that wants to celebrate their wedding date or who believes in such commercialized traditions. It goes without saying that unhappy couples would probably not even bother to remember their wedding date, never mind celebrating it! However, most people still want to believe in love and romance, and happily married couples with a sense of romance love to celebrate their anniversaries with their loved ones.

Designing and writing an official invitation for a silver wedding anniversary can be tricky if you are not artistic or do not have a flair for words. A truly classy and unique invitation entails more than just one or more photos of the couple and specifications regarding the time, date, venue and nature of the occasion. The design, paper, font and wording are crucial to create the right effect and style.

You want to make a good impression, yet the invitation should reflect the lifestyle and personalities of the couple. It should be stylish, yet can be formal, less formal or even humoristic - depending on the way you want to celebrate the occasion!

However, a silver wedding anniversary calls for some stylish, personalized and professional invitations as it is aimed at adult, loved family members and friends. It can be formal, informal, colorful or elegant. The shape, style, paper, font and wording should reflect the senders message clearly.

There are myriads of mass-produced invitation cards in retail shops and on the internet. Finding one that exactly suit your needs is almost impossible. It is best to steal with the eyes to get an idea of what you like and then get a professional graphic artist to create a personalized one according to your specific taste and style.
