Hi there,
I just came from my annual vacation in our country. I would say happy with them (family) bonding together and visiting our parents in their place. During our visitation to my parents, my father and mother reminded me that next year will be 50 years wedding anniversary together. They are planning to have a big and happy celebration. I'm happy to hear that. As I aware their wedding anniversary is on the month of July which we their children are very difficult to get together because I'm here in abroad working, other siblings are in the schools. So suggesting to move earlier on the month of May (which is summer vacation) - they agreed but should be confirmed our presence.
Since a year before that celebration do you have any good suggestion, ideas and tips to become good and happy celebration - that's is once in the life time or may be that is their last celebration. Do you think early planning to that would be better or just come what may. what do you think? Need you suggestion and ideas. see you around..
Note: Everybody are invited....

There's a lot of ideas out there that you can actually get and use for your parents' celebration. All of you in your family, children and grandchildren (if there are any) should at least try to present something that represent their love for each, and of course your respect and love for them. 50th anniversary is huge and it's once in a lifetime. Not many couples are lucky to have such blessings. Make sure that all of you are all there during their celebration. Since May is the only time you can all celebrate together, it would still be best if you could do something a little for them on their wedding day itself. A huge party maybe or a weekend getaway to the place where they had their honeymoon or a place dearest to them would be great. Good luck to the whole planning and congratulations to the both of them.

Seeing the whole clan and a whole bunch from your community is pretty terrific in itself. That would really mean a huge celebration that won't be forgotten that easily. A reunion and a celebration of love in one and nothing beats that when your parents feel how happy the people around them are and how blessed and fulfilled they are as a couple, friend and parents.

Yes that is the reality in our community and how our clan huge and known. Our oldies are happy and we their siblings must share and participate for the success of such celebration. I hope I can sustain or save enough money before the event. Pray for me...

Thank you for the good suggestion. Yes it is be a big celebration and you know my father is starting to have one big cow for the event and others. The whole community will be expected to come and join the celebration. About the gateaway and honeymoon I think it is far beyond because they are too old to do it. they are happy to see all of our family clan.

Hi visavis!
They are planning to have a big celebration so a year ahead of planning is necessary. I have never plan any celebration as early as that because we never had a big celebration before. Because of that, I have no idea how to make it a grand party. Perhaps other mylotters who have made such will have a good idea to share.(^^)

I think that planning ahead is something that is really good, especially if you have a large family who are hard to get together all at once. I have a lot of people in my family, and we always find that it is hard to be able to arrange anything because of the fact that we all have different things to do, but if you plan things in advance then people will not already have things booked in, which means that your event can be the first thing in their diary. This is why people like to plan things like weddings so far in advance, so that they can be sure that people are going to be able to attend them.

Thanks to your suggestion and insight. Actually in our place no need invitation they know what happening around and they will come with or without invitation. So that our part is to prepare the place and food. Invitation will be given for those relatives outside our place like in the city or other region..

Hi visavis
As i mentioned on my response to you on my discussion - finding someone celebrate 50 years of marital bliss is really something rare. I am sure that the day would be quite a great one for all in the family
Well, I would suggest a simple one - go for a complete family photograph - all and everyone in the entire family. That will be a unique collection too.
As for planning too early, well, I have had plans for so many more years, so there is nothing quite wrong in doing those plans. But yes, a sincere advice is dont over do them as if you overdo the plans, you would get more confused which one to finally go for... happens quite often with me
