How to Celebrate Your 25th Wedding Anniversary

Your 25th wedding anniversary deserves to be celebrated in style and what better way than to throw a party with friends and family? A silver-themed party would be great fun; ask your guests to wear something silver for the occasion and go all out with silver plates, silver champagne flutes and silver balloons.
Alternatively, a themed party based on your favourite movie that wasplaying in cinemas the year you got married would be a good laugh and would be sure to make for a memorable, funny night.

If you don’t feel like going to the effort of organising a party, what about a chilled night in with a movie from 25 years ago, perhaps one you remember going to watch together as newlyweds? Get some popcorn in and wash it down with a glass of champagne!

    Thank you Justin for your article and your best wishes. I found your article helpful. Just one quick note, maybe an edit or correction: how can 25 be a quarter of a decade when decade is only 10?! “ May we take this opportunity to wish you congratulations on reaching 25 years together? It’s a quarter of a decade ” Maybe you meant to say it is quarter of a century?!
