About 59th Wedding Anniversaries

By now the question has probably been asked many times. And no doubt it will be repeated several times more as you celebrate your 59th wedding anniversary.

“What is your secret to such a long marriage?” “Well,” you invariably reply with a twinkle in your eye, “We’ve been married for 59 years and that’s all you need to know!”

How to Celebrate a 59th Wedding Anniversary

You and your family will already be thinking about next year’s diamond anniversary, so perhaps you want to keep it fairly simple for your 59th? Nevertheless, all wedding anniversaries should at least be celebrated in some way, with gifts that reflect a couple’s deep and abiding commitment to each other.

Whether you’re thinking of a major celebration involving neighbours, work colleagues and acquaintances or just an intimate gathering of family members and close friends, it’s all about planning – and a few tips always come in handy.

• First of all, find out as much as you can about the couple’s younger days.
• Use that information to develop a song playlist that features their favourites from the years when they were newlyweds.
• Enclose a note in the invitations asking each guest to write down a favourite memory of the couple.
• Gather the stories and either read them out aloud at the party or use them to create a scrapbook which can be given to the couple as a memento.

59th Wedding Anniversary Gift Ideas for Him, Her, Parents and Grandparents

It’s pretty safe to assume that a couple who have been married for nearly six decades will have just about everything they need, which can make gift-giving something of a challenge.

Furthermore, there are no traditional names, objects or symbols for a 59th wedding anniversary to provide you with ideas. So how about considering this modern option?

For both an economical and a thoughtful gift, you could create a memory tree. Find a large branch or small fake tree and fill the branches with photos commemorating the main events in the couple’s lives.

If you are grandchildren seeking inspiration, you could introduce your grandparents to new technology, and buy them a computer or tablet and teach them how to search the web, send emails and Skype to keep in touch.

Add gift cards for their favourite stores, gift certificates to dine at restaurants they love, or ticket vouchers to shows or events they might enjoy. Alternatively, ask around if everyone would be interested in pooling their funds and sending the couple on a trip to an eagerly-awaited bucket list destination.

Love is like a tree, it grows of its own accord, it puts down deep roots into our whole being.” Quoted by: Victor Hugo
